If the vehicle has lost power, the convertible top can still be raised by releasing pressure on the hydraulic pump, located under the passenger side of the tonneau cover, using the following steps. The carpet liner on the passenger side must be pulled back to access the hydraulic pump. 1. Open the tonneau cover by pulling the manual release cable. The tonneau cover manual release cable is located behind the passenger seat head restraint, on the underside forward edge of 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. 3. Push and hold « on the convertible top switch. The convertible top will raise and the windows will lower if they were in the raised position. A chime will sound when the convertible top is raised completely. 4. After the convertible top is completely raised, release the convertible top switch. 5. Pull the convertible top front latch down and turn it counterclockwise to lock the convertible top. Never attempt to open or close the convertible top manually without releasing pressure first. Manual operation of the convertible top cannot be attempted for five minutes after the last time the convertible top switch was pressed if the convertible top was not opened completely and the tonneau cover latched or closed completely with the front latch locked in place at the time the convertible top switch was released.
