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.
1. Park on a level surface and shift the transmission
into PARK (P).
2. The vehicle’s engine must be on or in ACC.
3. Lower both sun visors.
Notice: Raising or lowering the top while the vehicle
is in motion can cause damage to the top or top
mechanism. Make sure the vehicle is in PARK (P)
to lower or raise the top.
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.
4. Make sure that nothing or no one is on or around
the top. Make sure the trunk cargo cover is in
place with nothing on top or in front of the cargo
cover. See Rear Storage Area on page 2-45
for more information. Also, make sure the valet
lockout switch is off.
5. Push and hold the bottom
of the retractable hardtop
button located on the
console behind the shifter
lever. The windows will
automatically lower and
the top will automatically
lower into the storage
area. A chime will sound
when the top has lowered
completely.
If the radio is on, the sound may be muted briefly while
the retractable top is lowered. This occurs because
a new audio system equalization is being loaded.
Under certain conditions, the Driver Information Center
(DIC) may display a message regarding the retractable
hardtop. If this happens, see DIC Warnings and
Messages on page 3-67 for more information.
