OPENING THE CONVERTIBLE 
TOP

The power operated convertible top and 
rear quarter windows are controlled by 
the switch located on the overhead 
console. The ignition system must be ON. 
The top will latch and unlatch 
automatically. The top can be operated at 
speeds below 24 km/h (15 mph). 
However, for safety it should not be 
opened or closed when the vehicle is 
being driven.

1. Ensure that the ignition system is in 

the ON condition.

2. Ensure that the luggage separator in 

the luggage compartment is in the 
fully deployed position. If it is not 
positioned correctly the proximity 
switches will not operate and the 
convertible top will not open.

WARNINGS

Before opening or closing the 
convertible top, ensure that all 
occupants have moved their 

hands, fingers, hair, etc. clear of moving 
parts.

Do not place items on the tonneau 
panel or over the Rollover 
Protection Device covers.

CAUTIONS

The convertible top will not operate 
unless the luggage separator is 
correctly located in the deployed 

position in the luggage compartment and 
that the luggage compartment lid is 
firmly closed.

Check that there is nothing in the 
rear area which could interfere with 
the top when folding down, e.g. 

ensure that the battery cover trim is fitted 
and secure.

Do not attempt to operate the 
convertible top at temperatures 
below -15°C (5°F). This may cause 

damage to the fabric.

If the convertible top is operated 
above 24 km/h (15 mph) to 
excessive speeds there is a risk of 

damage to the convertible top.

Do not attempt to OPEN the 
convertible top manually, as 
damage to the linkage mechanism 

may occur.
