66 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE To Raise The Top: CAUTION! To avoid damage to the convertible top or its components, your vehicle is equipped with a feature that prevents convertible top operation at speeds over 10 mph (16 km/h). 1. Remove the convertible top boot cover, if equipped. Refer to Convertible Top Boot Cover Removal and Storage, in this section. 2. Turn the ignition to the ON position. 3. Press the Power Top Switch to raise the top. Before the top reaches the windshield, open the latch handle and turn the handle clockwise to open the latches. Press the switch again to continue raising the top until the two pins seat themselves in the windshield header. NOTE: If the top is not latched right away, it may be necessary to press the power top switch, "UP" or "DOWN" quickly, to align the pins to the windshield header. 4. Pull down on the latch handle and rotate it counterclockwise to engage the latches. CAUTION! To fully insure that no damage occurs, be sure that the vehicle is at a complete stop with the gear selector in the Park position (automatic transaxle) or in the Neutral position (manual transaxle) before lowering or raising the top.
