Lowering the Power Convertible Top
1. Park on a level surface and set the parking brake.
The vehicle must be running or in ACC. Shift an
automatic transmission into PARK (P). Shift a
manual transmission into NEUTRAL.
2. Make sure the trunk is closed and that the trunk
partition in the rear storage area is in the fastened,
upright position, and that no objects are forward
of the divider.
3. Release the convertible top front latch, located
above the inside rearview mirror, by pulling and
turning it clockwise toward the driver’s door.
The windows will automatically lower.
4. Push and hold the
bottomof the power
convertibletop button,
locatedto the left of the
steeringwheel, on the
instrumentpanel.
The windows will automatically lower and the convertible
top will lower into the rear of the vehicle. A chime will
sound when the convertible top has lowered completely.
If the radio is on the sound may be muted for a
brief time.
If the convertible top is operated multiple times, the
engine should be running to prevent drain on the
vehicle’s battery. Under certain conditions, the Driver
Information Center (DIC) may display a message
regarding the power convertible top. See DIC Warnings
and Messages on page3-53 for more information.
