Raising the Power Convertible Top Notice: If you raise or lower the convertible top while the vehicle is in motion, you could damage the top or the top mechanism. The repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Always put an automatic transmission in (P) Park or a manual transmission in (N) Neutral before raising or lowering the convertible top. 1. Park on a level surface. Start the engine. Shift an automatic transmission into P (Park) and set the parking brake. Shift a manual transmission into N (Neutral) and set the parking brake. 2. Make sure the trunk lid is closed and the rear trunk partition in the rear storage area is in the fastened upright position, and that no objects are forward of the divider. See "Rear Trunk Partition" under Rear Storage Area on page 2-53. 3. Push and hold the top of the power convertible top button. The top will raise and the windows will lower if they were in the raised position. A chime will sound when the top is raised completely. 4. After the convertible top is completely raised, release the power convertible top button. 5. Pull the convertible front top latch down and turn it counterclockwise to lock the convertible top. 2-71
