2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE engine

When raising the top, the system retracts the hard
tonneau cover back into its stowage area underneath the
trunk lid.
To complete either operation, the trunk lid returns to its
normal position and then latches.
Spring-loaded flipper doors, which provide clearance for
the linkage, close off notches in the quarter trim panels
when the top is up.
Power Convertible Top Usage Precautions
NOTE:
²The convertible top will not operate unless the vehicle
is stationary, the cargo protector is positioned cor-
rectly, and the trunk lid is closed and latched. In
addition, the system prohibits lowering the top when
ambient temperature is at 0ÉF (-18ÉC) or lower, How-
ever, the system allows you to raise the top at ambient
temperatures as low as -40ÉF (-40ÉC).
²The Power Top Control Module (PTCM) monitors and
controls lowering and raising of the top. A series of
micro-switches verify that operations are complete
before allowing the next stage of lowering or raising
operation.
²Opening and closing the top consecutively without the
engine running may run the battery down.
²If a fluttering noise is heard from the rear seat belts
while driving with the top down, safely bring the
vehicle to a stop and buckle the rear seat belts over the
empty seats. This will keep tension on the seat belts
and remove the fluttering condition.
