70 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE To Lower The Top: CAUTION! To avoid possible damage to the tonneau cover and convertible top, do not allow the convertible top to remain in the suspended position. After approximately 10 minutes in the suspended position, the hydraulic pressure will be released which will allow the top and the tonneau cover to lower. The convertible top switch can be pressed to cancel this operation. WARNING! Top operation can be suspended for a maximum of 10 minutes. Thirty seconds before the end of this period an audible warning will begin to sound continuously. At the end of this period, hydraulic pressure will be released and the top and tonneau cover will slowly collapse. In order to re-initialize the top cycle, the tonneau cover must first be moved and held in its full open position manually. The convertible top should then be carefully lowered into its storage compartment, and the tonneau closed. Hands should be kept away from moving parts of the top and top compartment mechanisms to avoid injury during this operation and as hydraulic pressure is reestablished. The hydraulic pressure can be reestablished by turning the ignition to the ON/RUN position and pushing down on the convertible top switch twice. Refer to Convertible Top Emergency Operation in the What To Do In Emergencies section of this manual.
