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 2-18. Manually Raising the Retractable Hardtop If the 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 2-14 for more information. 3. Raise the trunk by hand. 4. Find the hydraulic pump under the carpet on the rear driver 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. 5. Pull both sides of the rear tonneau over-center link down to unlock the linkage. 2-57
