Driver Controls 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. Press the convertible top switch, holding it until the windows lower completely and the top unfolds and moves forward toward the windshield header. 3. You can release the convertible top switch to open both latch handles before the top meets the windshield header. Note: Make sure the latch handles are pulled down fully for hand clearance and are swung to the fully open position. Note: If the top has been in the down position for an extended period or if the temperature is low, the top material may shrink a small amount. Pull down on the latch handles and at the center grip in the header to fasten the top. 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. Note: The latch handles must be pulled downwards fully to allow the latch to fully rotate into the closed position. 5. Secure the driver's side latch first, then secure the passenger side. Pull down firmly on the latch handles before rotating them into the windshield header until they reach the full forward position. Pull down on the latch handles and at the center grip in the header to fasten the top. Press the latch handles up into the stowed position once the latch is rotated into the full forward position. 6. Raise the rear windows first and then raise the front windows. 90 2011 05+ Mustang (197) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus)
