- Park on a level surface, and shift the transmission into P (Park). The vehicle must be in P (Park), and the engine must be running, or the ignition turned to the ON/RUN position, to operate the retractable hardtop.
- The trunk cargo cover must be fully closed, and the trunk must be closed before raising the hardtop.
- Make sure nothing or no one is on or around the hardtop. Make sure there is no cargo on top of or in front of the trunk cargo cover.
- The hardtop switch is located on the headliner.
Caution: When the retractable hardtop is opened or closed, people can be injured by the parts that move: the hardtop and its mechanism, the trunk lid, and the side windows. Keep people away from these parts when you are lowering or raising the top.
Caution: If the retractable hardtop is not completely opened or closed, the system will cause the retractable hardtop to slowly descend after 3 minutes. You or others could be injured. The retractable hardtop will descend immediately if the ignition is turned to LOCK/OFF during the opening or closing of the retractable hardtop. Always completely open or close the retractable hardtop and do not shut off the ignition during the opening or closing of the retractable hardtop.
To raise the hardtop, pull and hold the switch until the cycle is complete.
As the switch is being pulled the hardtop will raise from the trunk and move into place. The hardtop and trunk lid will close and latch. If the engine is on, a chime will sound when the hardtop has raised completely. The Driver Information Center (DIC) will display the TOP MOVE COMPLT message to signal the procedure is complete. See DIC Warnings and Messages for more information.
After the hardtop has raised completely, release the switch. If you continue to pull the switch for about two seconds after the hardtop has raised completely, the windows will automatically close.
If the switch is released before the hardtop cycle is complete, the cycle stops and the Driver Information Center (DIC) displays the TOP NOT SECURE message. Always pull and hold the switch until a chime sounds, if the engine is on, and the Driver Information Center (DIC) displays the TOP MOVE COMPLT to signal the procedure is complete. See DIC Warnings and Messages for more information.
The hardtop will not operate if the vehicle has an electrical failure. If an electrical failure occurs, see your dealer/retailer for service.
If your vehicle must be towed to a dealer/retailer for service, your vehicle should be towed by flatbed with the vehicle facing backwards. Consult your dealer/retailer or professional towing service if you need to have your disabled vehicle towed. See Roadside Assistance Program.
