2019 Chevrolet Camaro Owners Manual - Roof

Roof

If equipped, the sunroof only operates when the ignition is on or in ACC/ACCESSORY, or when Retained Accessory Power (RAP) is active. See Retained Accessory Power (RAP) 0 195.

The sunroof switch is on the overhead console.

Express-Open : Press e to the second detent and release to express-open the sunroof. Press the

switch again to stop the movement. Press and hold g to close the sunroof.

Open/Close (Manual Mode) : Press and hold e to open the sunroof. Press and hold g to close the sunroof. Release the switch to stop the movement.

Vent : Press and release e to vent the sunroof. Press and release

g to close the vent.

A deflector automatically raises when the sunroof is opened and retracts while the sunroof closes.

If the sunshade is closed, it opens automatically when the sunroof opens past the vented position.

The sunshade can be opened manually, but must be closed manually.

The sunroof glass panel cannot be opened or closed if the vehicle has an electrical failure.

Dirt and debris may collect on the sunroof seal or in the track. This could cause an issue with sunroof operation or noise. It could also plug the water drainage system.

Periodically open the sunroof and remove any obstacles or loose debris. Wipe the sunroof seal and

roof sealing area using a clean cloth, mild soap, and water. Do not remove grease from the sunroof.

If water is seen dripping into the water drainage system, this is normal.

If equipped with a convertible top, review the following before operating:

Opening the Convertible Top

Using the Overhead Console Switch

Remove all objects from the top of the tonneau cover and forward of the rear trunk partition. Place the partition in the rear storage area in the upright position. Fasten both sides of the partition to the posts just below the tonneau cover. See Rear Storage

0 106.

Close the trunk.

Start the vehicle or place it in ACC/ACCESSORY.

When possible, operate the convertible top when the vehicle is stopped. The top can be operated while driving below 50 km/h (31 mph) and will stop if that speed is exceeded. The top operation will take approximately

25 seconds. Make sure the top operation can be completed before that speed is reached.

Press and hold the bottom of

M. The windows will automatically lower.

After the convertible top is completely open, a Driver Information Center (DIC) message displays. Release the switch.

If the radio is on, the sound may be muted for a brief time due to a new audio system equalization being loaded.

Using the RKE Transmitter

If equipped, press and release K, and then immediately press and hold M continuously to

open the convertible top all the way. The vehicle must be off to operate the convertible top with the RKE transmitter.

The top will stop movement approximately one second after K is released. To stop the top immediately, press 7, K, or Q on the RKE transmitter.

M will only open the

convertible top.

See Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System 0 27 and Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation 0 27.

Closing the Convertible Top

The RKE transmitter cannot be used to close the convertible top.

Make sure the sun visor mirror covers are closed and the sun visors are stored in the center mount position.

Remove all objects from the top of the tonneau cover and forward of the partition. Place the partition in the rear storage area in the upright position. Fasten both sides of the partition to the posts just below the tonneau cover. See Rear Storage 0 106.

Close the trunk.

Start the vehicle or place it in ACC/ACCESSORY.

When possible, operate the convertible top when the vehicle is stopped. The top can be operated while driving

below 50 km/h (31 mph) and will stop if that speed is exceeded. The top operation will take approximately

25 seconds. Make sure the top operation can be completed before that speed is reached.

Press and hold the top of M. The windows will automatically lower.

After the convertible top is completely closed, a DIC message displays. Release the switch. Raise the windows if needed.

If the radio is on, the sound may be muted for a brief time due to a new audio system equalization being loaded.

Troubleshooting

Check the following if the convertible top switch M is not operating:

The ignition should be on or in ACC/ACCESSORY, or Retained Accessory Power (RAP) should be active.

The trunk lid should be closed and the trunk partition in place. A DIC message will display.

If the ONLY MANUAL OPERATION OF TOP

POSSIBLE message is displayed on the DIC, see “Manual Movement of Top” later in this section.

At cooler outside temperatures, the convertible top may not open. It is possible to close the top down to temperatures of about 0°C (32°F). A DIC

message will display if the top

will not open due to low temperature. If necessary, move the vehicle to a heated indoor area to operate the top.

If the top has recently been cycled repeatedly or left in an intermediate state, it will be temporarily disabled. A DIC message displays. Normal operation will be restored within 10 minutes after the system has cooled.

If the vehicle battery is low, the power top operation may be disabled. Try to start the vehicle. A DIC message displays.

If the battery has recently been reconnected or if the vehicle has been jump started, the top may not operate until the power windows have been indexed.

Complete the power window indexing procedure. See Power Windows 0 49.

Other features may be affected while operating the convertible top:

The trunk can only be opened with the key until the convertible top is completely opened or closed.

The windows cannot close while the top is moving.

When driving with the top not fully secured, chimes can be heard above 80 km/h (50 mph).

If the vehicle battery has been disconnected and reconnected, the fuses were pulled or replaced, or a jump start was performed, the TOP NOT SECURE message may display. Press and hold M to open/close the top until this message is cleared.

Partial Top Cycling

If the convertible top operation is stopped before completion, the top will temporarily hold its position.

If the ignition is on or in ACC/ ACCESSORY, the top will be held for up to five minutes, then pulse

down. If the vehicle is moving or off, the amount of time will vary from a few seconds to about a minute.

Beeps and DIC messages will be displayed before the top will move. When this occurs, immediately finish the convertible top operation by pressing M again until it completes.

If the top cannot be secured, keep clear of the top components. In some conditions the top may move quickly.

Do not drive with the convertible top in an unsecured position. The top components may move unexpectedly. In some cases the top may not be able to be power operated. If this occurs, follow the DIC messages displayed.

If the tonneau cover is not secured and latched, and the vehicle is moving above 10 km/h (6 mph), the tonneau cover may automatically move to a stable position.

If the DIC displays the ONLY MANUAL OPERATION OF TOP

POSSIBLE message:

Press M to either open or close the top. Press the switch in the opposite direction if one does not work.

If the top moves, continue pressing the switch in that direction for at least

five seconds. The top should then work normally.

If the top does not respond in either direction, take it to your dealer for service. If the top is retracted but not latched, use the following procedure to manually close the convertible top and tonneau cover if needed. This requires more than one person.

On each side of the tonneau cover, lift and pivot rearward into the fully open position. Hold the front and rear of the tonneau cover at the

same time.

Lift and move the convertible top forward by pulling on both sides of the front bow into the fully closed position.

Lock the front of the convertible top to the frame by popping out the small cover, inserting a hex wrench, and turning clockwise until it stops.

Lift up the tension bow on both sides and raise the tonneau cover to approximately the half raised position, and then allow it to slide into the closed position.

Lower the tension bow.

The vehicle can now be driven to your dealer for service. The convertible top will not be completely waterproof and should not be driven over 80 km/h (50 mph) in this position.

The convertible top should be cleaned often. Do not use

high-pressure car washes as these may cause water to enter the vehicle.

Hand wash the convertible top in partial shade. Use mild soap, lukewarm water, and a soft sponge.

A chamois or cloth may leave lint on the top, and a brush can chafe the threads in the top fabric. Do not use detergents, harsh cleaners, solvents, or bleaching agents.

Wet the entire top and let the soap remain on the fabric for a few minutes. Wash evenly to avoid spots or rings. When the top is very dirty, use a mild foam-type cleaner. Thoroughly rinse the entire vehicle, then let the top dry in direct sunlight.

To protect the convertible top:

Make sure the convertible top is completely dry before lowering it.

Do not get any cleaner on the vehicle's painted finish; it could leave streaks.
