CONVERTIBLE TOP (IF EQUIPPED)

The convertible top

switch is located on the console in front of the

armrest. Use this switch to raise or lower the top.

Note: The convertible top will not operate unless the

parking brake is engaged.

The top can be lowered with the side windows either up or down.

Don’t lower the top when the top material is wet or when the

vehicle is moving. To prevent damage to the rear glass window,

never store articles behind the rear seat.

When raising the top, the front and rear-side windows must be

lowered. Open both top clamps before the top meets the

windshield header.  Remove the boot cover and store it in the

luggage compartment when not in use.  To prevent damage to the

top, never raise it while the vehicle is moving. 

Please refer to your Owner’s Guide for detailed information on

operating your convertible top.

the doors or sound the personal alarm. The interior lights will turn

off if the ignition is switched to the ON position. The dome lamp

control (if equipped) must not be set to the OFF position for the

illuminated entry system to operate. The remote-control entry

features only operate with the ignition in the LOCK position.

with a pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of at least 87.

according to the specifications found on the Certification Label on

the front door latch pillar on the driver’s side. Tire pressure

routine maintenance and seasonal changes.

FUEL PUMP SHUT-OFF SWITCH

Your fuel

pump shut-off switch may need to be reset
