UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 83 CAUTION! • Correctly position the cargo protector in the trunk before stowing the top. Doing so closes a switch that allows top operation (stowing) to proceed. If the switch is not closed, a warning message displays in the instrument cluster to notify the driver. • Always place items carefully into the trunk. • Do not push items too far into the trunk, particularly when the top is retracted into its stowage area in the trunk. • Do not use the area near the tonneau cover for storage. Failure to follow these cautions can cause damage to the convertible top components, trunk contents, and the vehicle interior. CAUTION! Before operating the Power Top: 1. Always check the tonneau cover area to be sure that it is clear of debris or other items. 2. Make sure the ambient temperature is above 0°F (-18°C). a. Never attempt to lower a frozen convertible top. Wait until the top is thawed before lowering it into the stowage compartment. b. Make sure the convertible top is dry before lowering it into the stowage compartment. Lowering the top when damp, wet, or dirty can cause stains, mildew, and damage to the inside of your vehicle. 3. Make sure there is sufficient clearance of at least 7.5 ft. (2.2 m) for the top to move up. a. To prevent striking a low ceiling or automatic door opener with the top, it is strongly recommended that you do not operate the power top inside a garage or parking structure. Failure to follow these cautions can cause damage to the convertible top components, trunk contents, and the vehicle interior. 3
