After the top is fully raised, release the retractable hardtop button. If you press the button again within five seconds, the windows will automatically close. If your radio is on, you may notice a brief mute in sound. This is normal and due to a new audio system equalization being loaded for the vehicle with the top raised. Under certain conditions, the Driver Information Center (DIC) may display messages regarding the retractable hardtop. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-63 for more information. If the retractable hardtop does not operate, and there are no messages displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC), then perform the "Power Window Initialize" steps under Power Windows on page 2-17. Manually Raising the Retractable Hardtop If your vehicle has a power loss, such as a dead battery, you can still raise the top manually by doing the following: 1. Lower both sun visors and open both doors. 2. Use the key to open the trunk. See Keys on page 2-3 and Trunk on page 2-13 for more information. 3. Raise the trunk by hand. 4. Find the hydraulic pump under the carpet on the rear driver's side of the trunk. Open the valve by turning it counterclockwise with your hand until it stops. Notice: Pressing the retractable hardtop button when the hydraulic pump valve is open could damage the pump. Always close the hydraulic pump valve after the retractable hardtop has been closed manually. 2-56
