Failure to follow these cautions may cause interior

water damage, stains or mildew on the top material:

• Avoid high-pressure car washes, as they can damage

the top material. Also, increased water pressure may

force water past the weather strips.

• If the top is fully open and the vehicle is traveling at

50 mph (80 km/h) or above, it will not allow you to close

the top.

Power Convertible Top Relearn Procedure

If your power convertible top does not operate in the Auto

Opening/Closing mode (automatically opening/closing to

the one-quarter open and three-quarter open comfort

stops), or if the remote keyless power top function is

inoperable, or if the trunk lid does not open - the following

relearn procedure may be necessary.

This will confirm that the relearn procedure was success-

ful.

Auto open/close will now be functional, as well as trunk

lid operation, and remote keyless power top function.

NOTE: DO NOT interrupt this activity.

1. Confirm that the door/trunk lid are closed.

If the power convertible top does not relearn, repeat the

procedure a second time.

2. Begin with the top in the fully closed position (using

manual mode).

Wind Stop

3. Hold the open button to move the top to the fully open

position.

The Wind Stop installs in the backseat area of the vehicle.

The Wind Stop will not interfere with power top operation.

Therefore, it can remain installed when the top is up.

4. Continue to hold the open button for an additional three

seconds.
