The carpet liner must be pulled back to access the hydraulic pump. 1. Open the tonneau cover. There is a tonneau cover emergency release cable located behind the passenger's seat head restraint, on the underside forward edge of the tonneau cover. Also, see Hatch/Trunk on page 2-14 for information on the emergency trunk release handle. 2. Pull the emergency release cable to release the tonneau cover. Be careful when opening the tonneau cover by hand. If the tonneau cover is opened quickly, damage can occur to the hinging mechanism, which can prevent proper operation of the convertible top.
