OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE Emergency Bypass Mode (To Raise The Top Only) • This procedure is only to be used to raise the top when the top cannot be returned to the UP (raised) position by pressing the POWER TOP switch or is in a position in which the vehicle cannot be driven. Please follow these emergency bypass instructions to return the top to the UP (raised) position. • Press the POWER TOP switch in the Top Up direction five times within two seconds and hold the switch in the Top Up position for a minimum of two minutes. • If damage starts to occur while in the Emergency Bypass Mode, immediately release the POWER TOP switch and see your authorized dealer. NOTE: This procedure may take more time to fully raise and close the power top. It is not uncommon to see delays of up to 30 seconds before operation begins. Wind Stop (if equipped) • The Wind Stop installs in the backseat area of the vehicle. The Wind Stop will not interfere with power top operation. Therefore, it can remain installed when the top is up. However, when not in use, the Wind Stop folds to allow for convenient storage underneath the cargo shield in the trunk. CAUTION! • Do not place objects on the cargo shield. Objects placed on the cargo shield will interfere with the top during lowering and cause extensive damage. • Once this procedure has been completed and the top is in the UP (raised) position, see your authorized dealer. DO NOT exceed 40 mph (64 km/h). • Using the Emergency Bypass Mode could potentially damage the convertible top and should only be used to raise the power top to the UP (raised) position when the normal top operation is not functioning. WIND BUFFETING • Wind buffeting can be described as a helicopter-type percussion sound. If buffeting occurs with the rear windows open, adjust the front and rear windows together. • If buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening, or adjust any window. This will minimize buffeting. 23
