Do not move your vehicle until the top has

been either fully attached to the front header,

sport bar, and body side or fully removed.

Failure to follow these cautions may cause

interior water damage, stains or mildew:



It is recommended that the top be free of

water prior to panel removal. Removing the

top, opening a door or lowering a window while

NOTE:

A slight pause in audio may be heard when

opening and closing the Power Sliding Top as a

result of the Uconnect system switching between

power top Closed and power top Open audio

modes.

Opening And Closing The Power Top

Express Open/Close
Push the open switch and release it within one-half

second and the power top will open automatically

from any position. The power top will open fully and

stop automatically.
Push the close switch and release it within one-half

second and the power top will close automatically

from any position. The power top will close fully and

stop automatically.
During Express Open or Express Close operation,

any other movement of the power top switch will

stop the power top.
Manual Open/Close
To open the power top manually, push and hold the

open switch to the full open position, then release.
To close the power top manually, push and hold

the close switch to the fully closed position, then

release.
Any release of the switch during open or close

operation will stop the power top movement. The

top will remain in a partially opened position until

the switch is operated and held again.

Pinch Protect Feature

This feature will detect an obstruction in the

opening of the power top during Express Close

operation. If an obstruction in the path of the

power top is detected, the power top will

automatically retract. Remove the obstruction if

this occurs. Next, push the close switch and

release to Express Close.

NOTE:



The Power Sliding Top may reverse motion if

closing during a severe headwind. If this occurs,

push and hold the Power Sliding Top switch

again to close the top completely.

If three consecutive power top close attempts

result in Pinch Protect reversals, Pinch Protect

will disable and the power top must be closed in

Manual Mode.

Power Top Maintenance

Use only a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth to

clean the quarter window glass panel. For

important information on cleaning and caring for

your vehicle

page 408.

WARNING!



Never leave children unattended in a vehicle,

or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Never

leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in a

location accessible to children. Do not leave

the Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ Ignition in the ACC or

ON/RUN position. Occupants, particularly

unattended children, can become entrapped

by the power top while operating the power

top switch. Such entrapment may result in

serious injury or death.



In a collision, there is a greater risk of being

thrown from a vehicle with an open power top.

You could also be seriously injured or killed.

Always fasten your seat belt properly and

make sure all passengers are also properly

secured.



Do not allow small children to operate the

power top. Never allow your fingers, other

body parts, or any object, to project through

the power top opening. Injury may result.

WARNING!

There is no anti-pinch protection when the power

top is almost closed. To avoid personal injury be

sure to clear your arms, hands, fingers and all

objects from the top’s path before closing.

Ignition Off Operation

The power top switch can remain active in

Accessory Delay for up to approximately

10 minutes after the vehicle’s ignition is placed to

the OFF position. Opening either front door will

cancel this feature.

NOTE:

Ignition Off time is programmable through the

Uconnect system

page 207.

Relearn Procedure

For vehicles equipped with a power top, there is a

relearn procedure that allows you to calibrate the

power top when the “Express Mode” stops

working. To reset the power top, follow these steps:
1. Place the ignition in the RUN position, and

start the vehicle.

NOTE:

The engine must be running to perform the relearn

procedure.
2. Ensure the power top is in the fully closed

position.

3. Push and hold the Close switch for

10 seconds. This will put the power top

into calibration mode.

4. Continue holding down the close button while

the top goes fully open and then back to fully

close.

5. Once the power top has stopped in the fully

closed position, release the close button. The

power top is now reset and ready to use.

NOTE:

If the close button is released anytime during the

relearning process, the relearn may not be

complete, and the procedure must be repeated.

Rear Quarter Window Removal

On vehicles equipped with a Power Sliding Top, the

rear quarter windows can be removed. To remove

these windows, follow this procedure:
1. Open the swing gate, and lift the rear window.
