4. Push and hold the
bottom of the power
convertible top button,
located to the left of
the steering wheel, on
the instrument
panel.
The windows will automatically lower and 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.
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 power convertible top. See DIC Warnings
and Messages on page 3-55 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

transmission in NEUTRAL before raising or lowering
the convertible top.

automatic transmission into PARK (P) and set the
parking brake. Shift a manual transmission into
NEUTRAL and set the parking brake.

of the divider. See “Rear Trunk Partition” under
Rear Storage Area on page 2-56.
3. Push and hold the top of the power convertible top
