5. Push and hold the
top of the retractable
hardtop button located
behind the shift lever.
The windows will
automatically lower
and the top will raise.
A chime will sound
when the top has raised
completely.
After the top is fully raised, release the retractable
hardtop button. If you press the button again within
five seconds, the windows will automatically close.
If your radio is on, you may notice a brief mute in
sound. This is normal and due to a new audio system
equalization being loaded for the vehicle with the
top raised.
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.
Manually Raising the Retractable Hardtop
If your vehicle has a power loss, such as a dead battery,
you can still raise the top manually by doing the following:
1. Lower both sun visors and open both doors.
2. Use the key to open the trunk. See
Keys on
page 2-2 and Trunk on page 2-12 for more
information.
3. Raise the trunk by hand.
4. Remove the wrench located inside the passenger’s
side storage compartment.
5. Find the hydraulic pump
under the carpet on the
rear driver’s side of
the trunk. Open the
valve by turning it
counterclockwise with
your hand until it stops.
Notice: Pressing the retractable hardtop button
when the hydraulic pump valve is open could
damage the pump. Always close the hydraulic
pump valve after the retractable hardtop has been
closed manually.
