Driver Controls Raising the convertible top The convertible top will not operate unless the vehicle is traveling under 3 mph (5 km/h). 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. Push 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. 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. Pulling down on the latch handles and at the center grip in the header will make it easier 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. The latch handles must be pulled downwards fully to allow the latch to fully rotate into the closed position. 72 2009 05+ Mustang (197) Owners Guide USA (fus)
