4. Return the convertible top front
latch to the closed position.
5. Push and hold the bottom of the
power convertible top button,
located to the left of the steering
wheel, on the instrument panel.
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 Convertible
Top Messages on page 537 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

mechanism. The repairs would
not be covered by your warranty.
Always put an automatic

or a manual transmission
in (N) Neutral before raising or
lowering the convertible top.

the engine. Shift an automatic
transmission into P (Park) and
set the parking brake. Shift
a manual transmission into
N (Neutral) and set the parking
brake.
2. Make sure the trunk lid is closed
and the rear trunk partition in
the rear storage area is in the

the divider. See Rear Trunk
Partition under Rear Storage on
