Driver Controls Raising the convertible top The convertible top will not operate unless the vehicle is traveling under 3.1 mph (5 km/h). To raise the convertible top: 1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop. Key must be in the ON position. It is recommended that the vehicle's engine is running when raising the top to prevent draining the battery. 2. Push the convertible top switch, holding it until the windows lower completely and the top unfolds and moves forward toward the windshield header. 3. Open both handles before the top meets the windshield header. 4. Continue to use the convertible top switch to raise the top until it has reached the fully closed position flush to the header. Note: The two pins under the forward edge of the top should seat themselves in the matching holes in the header. 5. To fasten both handles securely, rotate the driver's handle into the header on the top until it reaches full forward and push up to flush the handle with the header. Pulling down on the header at the center grip while closing the handle may assist in fastening the top. Repeat this step for the passenger side handle. 6. Raise the front and rear side windows. 63 2005 05+ Mustang (197) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
