Retractable Hardtop The following procedures explain the proper operation of the retractable hardtop. The retractable hardtop will not operate if the valet lockout switch is on. If the retractable hardtop is lowered or raised multiple times, the engine should be running while doing so to prevent drain on the vehicle's battery. Lowering the Retractable Hardtop Notice: Leaving the retractable hardtop down and exposing the interior of your vehicle to outdoor conditions may cause damage. Always close the retractable hardtop if leaving your vehicle outdoors. 1. Park on a level surface and shift the transmission into PARK (P). 2. The vehicle's engine must be on or in Acc. 3. Lower both sun visors. Notice: Raising or lowering the top while the vehicle is in motion can cause damage to the top or top mechanism. Make sure the vehicle is in PARK (P) to lower or raise the top. Notice: Lowering the top if it is damp, wet, or dirty can cause stains, mildew, and damage to the inside of your vehicle. Dry off the top before lowering it. 4. Make sure that nothing or no one is on or around the top. Make sure the trunk cargo cover is in place with nothing on top or in front of the cargo cover. See Rear Storage Area on page 123 for more information. Also, make sure the valet lockout switch is off. {CAUTION: When the retractable hardtop is opened or closed, people can be injured by the parts that move: the hardtop and its mechanism, the trunk lid, and the side windows. Keep people away from these parts when you are lowering or raising the top. 124
