Lowering the Retractable Hardtop
Notice: Leaving the retractable hardtop down and
exposing the interior of your vehicle to outdoor
conditions may cause damage. Always close
the retractable hardtop if leaving your vehicle
outdoors.
Notice: Lowering the top if it is damp, wet, or dirty
can cause stains, mildew, and damage to the
inside of your vehicle. Dry off the top before
lowering it.
Notice: If you lower the retractable hardtop in cold
weather (32°F/0°C or lower), you may damage
top components. Do not lower the retractable
hardtop in cold weather.
1. Park on a level surface, and shift the automatic
transmission into PARK (P). The vehicle must be
in PARK (P), and the engine must be running, or the
ignition turned to the ON/RUN position, to operate
the retractable hardtop.
2. The trunk cargo cover must be fully closed, and the
trunk must be closed before lowering the hardtop.
3. Make sure that nothing or no one is on or around
the hardtop. Make sure there is nothing on top or
in front of the cargo cover.
