Driver Controls The convertible top will not operate unless the parking brake is engaged. Do not lower the top while the vehicle is moving because the top may be severely damaged. Also, do not lower the top when the top material is wet. To lower the convertible top: 1. Bring vehicle to a complete stop. Engage the parking brake. Key must be in the ON position. 2. Check the convertible top stowage compartment behind the rear seat to be sure it is empty and ready to receive the top. 3. Unclamp the top from the windshield header at both the right and left sides by pulling each clamp rearward until the hook in the windshield header is free. The clamps are flush with the header when in the closed position. 4. Close the windshield header clamps immediately after disengagement, to avoid cutting the top material and to permit installation of the vinyl boot. 5. If the top has not been lowered for some time and sticks to the windshield header, push the front of the top up slightly with your hand to loosen it. 6. Push the convertible PARK BRAK T top switch on the console in front of the armrest and hold until the top is completely stored. 7. Disengage the parking brake.
