The tonneau cover emergency release cable
is located behind the passenger’s seat
head restraint, on the underside forward edge
of the tonneau cover. Also, see Hatch/Trunk
on page 83 for information on the emergency
trunk release handle.
Be careful when opening the tonneau cover by
hand. If the tonneau cover is opened quickly,
damage can occur to the hinging mechanism,
which can prevent proper operation of the
convertible top.
2. Locate the pressure release bolt on the front
side of the hydraulic pump.
3. Use the wrench, located in the console, and
turn the pressure release bolt
counterclockwise one revolution, to relieve
pressure to the hydraulic pump. This will allow
you to manually raise the convertible top.
4. Then follow the steps under raising the
manual convertible top. See “Convertible Top
(Manual)” under Convertible Top (Manual)
on page 138 or Convertible Top (Power)
on page 145
When power is restored to the vehicle, the
hydraulic bolt must be tightened, by turning it
clockwise. The power convertible top button can
then be used to lower or raise the convertible top.
If the power convertible top is operated multiple
times, the engine should be running to prevent
drain on the vehicle’s battery. Under certain
conditions, the Driver Information Center (DIC)
may display a message regarding the power top.
See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 212
for more information.
If the battery has been disconnected, the power
windows must be initialized for the power top
to operate. See Power Windows on page 87 for
more information.
