Cadillac 2006 XLR - Manual (Page 100)

Raising the Retractable Hardtop
1. Park on a level surface. Shift the transmission into
PARK (P).
2. The vehicle’s engine must be on or in ACC.
3. Lower both sun visors.
Notice: Raising or lowering the top while the vehicle
is in motion can cause damage to the top or top
mechanism. Make sure the vehicle is in PARK (P) to
lower or raise the top.
4. Make sure nothing or no one is on or around the
top. Make sure the trunk cargo cover is in place
with no cargo on top of or in front of the cargo
cover. See Rear Storage Area on page 2-45 for
more information. Also, be sure the valet lockout
switch is off.
5. Push and hold the
top of the retractable
hardtop button located
behind the shift lever.
The windows will
automatically lower
and the top will raise.
A chime will sound
when the top has
raised completely.
After the top is fully raised, release the retractable
hardtop button. If you press the button again within
five seconds, the windows will automatically close.
If your radio is on, you may notice a brief mute in sound.
This is normal and due to a new audio system
equalization being loaded for the vehicle with the top
raised.
Under certain conditions, the Driver Information Center
(DIC) may display a message regarding the retractable
hardtop. If this happens, see DIC Warnings and
Messages on page 3-67 for more information.
