2-30 Keys, Doors and Windows If the convertible top is operated multiple times, the engine should be running to prevent drain on the vehicle's battery. Under certain conditions, the Driver Information Center (DIC) may display a message regarding the convertible top. See Convertible Top Messages on page 5‑37 for more information. Raising the Power Convertible Top Notice: If you raise or lower the convertible top while the vehicle is in motion, you could damage the top or the top mechanism. The repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Always put an automatic transmission in P (Park) or a manual transmission in Neutral before raising or lowering the convertible top. 1. Park on a level surface. Start the engine. Shift an automatic transmission into P (Park) and set the parking brake. Shift a manual transmission into N (Neutral) and set the parking brake. 3. Release the convertible top front latch, located above the inside rearview mirror, by pulling and turning it clockwise toward the driver door. Push upward on the front edge. The windows will automatically lower. 4. Return the convertible top front latch to the closed position. 5. Push and hold the bottom of the convertible top switch, located to the left of the steering wheel, on the instrument panel. The convertible top will lower into the rear of the vehicle. A chime will sound when the convertible top has lowered completely. If the radio is on the sound may be muted for a brief time due to a new audio system equalization being loaded.
