If the retractable hardtop does not operate, and there
are no messages displayed on the Driver Information
Center (DIC), then perform the “Power Window Initialize”
steps under Power Windows on page 2-18.
Manually Raising the Retractable Hardtop
If the vehicle has a power loss, such as a dead
battery, you can still raise the top manually by doing the
following:
1. Lower both sun visors and open both doors.
2. Use the key to open the trunk. See Keys on
page 2-3 and Trunk on page 2-14 for more
information.
3. Raise the trunk by hand.
4. Find the hydraulic pump
under the carpet on
the rear driver side
of the trunk. Open the
valve by turning it
counterclockwise with
your hand until it stops.
Notice: Pressing the retractable hardtop button
when the hydraulic pump valve is open could
damage the pump. Always close the hydraulic pump
valve after the retractable hardtop has been closed
manually.
5. Pull both sides of the rear tonneau over-center link
down to unlock the linkage.
