From the convertible top fully open position, press the top close button for approximately one second for the partially open position.

NOTE: Rail lubrication is recommended every 2000 cycles, or if scratching noises
due to dust are present.
Refer to “Fluids, Lubes, and Genuine Part” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for information.
CAUTION!
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.
• Remove any standing water from the top and dry the surface before opening it.
Operating the top, opening a door or lowering a window while the top is wet may
allow water to drip into the vehicles interior.
• Use care when washing the vehicle, water pressure directed at the weather strip
seals may cause water to leak into the vehicles interior.
WARNING!
The convertible top does not provide the structural protection that a reinforced metal roof does and the fabric top cannot be expected to prevent the ejection of the occupants in a collision. Therefore, it is important that all occupants wear their seat belts at all times. Death or serious injuries could occur if you are ejected from the vehicle during a collision.
