the tonneau cover by hand.
If the tonneau cover is opened
quickly, damage can occur to the
hinging mechanism, which can
prevent proper operation of the
convertible top.
2. Pull back the carpet liner on the
passenger's side to access the
hydraulic pump.
3. Locate the pressure release
bolt on the front side of the
hydraulic pump.
4. Use the wrench, located in the
console, and turn the pressure
release bolt counterclockwise
one revolution, to relieve
pressure to the hydraulic pump.
This will allow you to manually
raise the convertible top.
5. Then follow the steps under
raising the manual convertible
top. See “Manual Operation”
or “Power Operation” in this
section.
When power is restored to the
vehicle, the hydraulic bolt must be
tightened, by turning it clockwise.
The power convertible top button
can then be used to lower or raise
the convertible top.
If the power 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 top. See Convertible Top
Messages on page 5‑37 for more
information.
If the battery has been
disconnected, the power windows
must be initialized for the power top
to operate. See Power Windows on
page 2‑17 for more information.
