82 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE When raising the top, the system retracts the hard tonneau cover back into its stowage area underneath the trunk lid. To complete either operation, the trunk lid returns to its normal position and then latches. Spring-loaded flipper doors, which provide clearance for the linkage, close off notches in the quarter trim panels when the top is up. Power Convertible Top Usage Precautions NOTE: • The convertible top will not operate unless the vehicle is stationary, the cargo protector is positioned correctly, and the trunk lid is closed and latched. In addition, the system prohibits lowering the top when ambient temperature is at 0°F (-18°C) or lower, However, the system allows you to raise the top at ambient temperatures as low as -40°F (-40°C). • The Power Top Control Module (PTCM) monitors and controls lowering and raising of the top. A series of micro-switches verify that operations are complete before allowing the next stage of lowering or raising operation. • Opening and closing the top consecutively without the engine running may run the battery down. • If a fluttering noise is heard from the rear seat belts while driving with the top down, safely bring the vehicle to a stop and buckle the rear seat belts over the empty seats. This will keep tension on the seat belts and remove the fluttering condition.
