FAQ

What **exact** assembly sequence applies to the convertible top installation? keyboard_arrow_down

6-step process is required: first, pull the rear seat tab to fold down the seat; second, open the trunk and remove both boot side covers; third, insert the tab into the slot at the quarter trim panel; fourth, attach the snaps to the top of the quarter trim panel; fifth, pull the center cover from behind the seatback; sixth, align snaps to ball studs and close the trunk.

Reference the **specific** service interval parameters for engine oil changes under short trip conditions. keyboard_arrow_down

3,000 miles (5,000 km) or 3 months, whichever occurs first, is the required interval for oil and filter changes when the vehicle is operated under short trip or city driving conditions that cause engine oil to break down sooner.

What are the **designated** system architecture components for the Enhanced Traction System? keyboard_arrow_down

3 primary components comprise the system: the transaxle shift lever positions (REVERSE, THIRD, or OVERDRIVE), the wheel speed sensors that detect spinning, and the engine power management system that reduces power and may upshift the transaxle to limit wheel spin on slippery surfaces.
