2011 CHRYSLER 200 CONVERTIBLE trunk release

CAUTION! (Continued)
•Always close the top when leaving your vehicle so
as not to leave the interior exposed to potentially
damaging outdoor conditions.
•Do not leave the top lowered for several weeks at
a time. Close it occasionally to prevent discolor-
ation in the folds of the fabric and to allow the
creases to smooth out. This is especially important
if the top was stowed when not completely dry.
Failure to follow these cautions can cause damage
to the convertible top components, trunk contents,
and the vehicle interior:
WARNING!
Failure to follow these warnings can result in injuries
that are serious or fatal to you, your passengers, and
others around you:
•Before operating the power top, make sure that no
moving parts of the convertible top can injure a
person or animal.
•Never place any extremities (hands, feet, etc.) near
the convertible top components, the upper wind-
shield area, the shelf area behind the rear seats, or
the convertible top stowage area while raising or
lowering the convertible top.
•When using the power top button on RKE trans-
mitter, if potential danger exists while lowering
the top, release the button immediately to inter-
rupt the operation.(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)
•When using the power top switch on the instru-
ment panel, if potential danger exists while low-
ering the top, release the switch immediately to
interrupt the operation.
•When using the power top switch on the instru-
ment panel, if potential danger exists while raising
the top, release the switch immediately to inter-
rupt the operation.
•Only drive the vehicle with the convertible top
completely closed and latched or fully lowered
into its stowage compartment.
•Do not operate the power top when the vehicle is
in motion.
Cargo Shield
The cargo shield is located in the trunk. Before lowering
the convertible top, you must unfold the cargo shield andseat the tabs at each end of the cargo shield in the V slots
in the trunk liner. Doing so closes a switch that allows top
operation. If the switch is not closed, a warning message
displays in the instrument cluster to notify the driver.
Positioning The Cargo Shield For Top Operation
Pull the cargo shield toward you to begin unfolding the
panels. Grasp the handle in the center of the outermost
(top) panel and raise the cargo shield. Then, align and
seat the tabs at each end of the cargo shield in the V slots
in the trunk liner as shown in the illustration.
CAUTION!
Do NOT place items on top of the cargo shield. Items
placed on cargo protector will interfere with the top
during operation and cause excessive damage to the
top and cargo shield.
