2012 CHRYSLER 200 CONVERTIBLE tow

CAUTION!
Before operating the power top:
•Always check on top of the tonneau cover area to
be sure that it is clear of debris or other items.
•Make sure the ambient temperature is above 0°F
(-18°C).
•Never attempt to lower a frozen convertible top.
Wait until the top is thawed before lowering it into
the stowage compartment. Lowering a cloth top at
temperatures below 32°F (0°C) should be avoided.
•Make sure the convertible top is dry before low-
ering it into the stowage compartment. Lowering
the top when damp, wet, or dirty can cause stains,
mildew, and damage to the inside of your vehicle.
•Make sure there is sufficient clearance of at least
7.5 ft. (2.2 m) for the top to move up.(Continued)
CAUTION! (Continued)
•To prevent striking a low ceiling or automatic door
opener with the top, it is strongly recommended
that you do not operate the power top inside a
garage or parking structure.
Failure to follow these cautions can cause damage
to the convertible top components, trunk contents,
and the vehicle interior.

CAUTION!
•Do not operate the power top with the hydraulic
pump valve open.
•Do not allow the top to remain in the suspended
position. After approximately 10 minutes in the
suspended position, the hydraulic pressure will
release, which will allow the top and the trunk lid
to lower. Pressing the power top switch will cancel
this operation.
•Always use a normal ice scraper to remove snow or
ice from the rear window. Use of a sharp object or
other tools could scratch the panels (hard top) or
tear the fabric (soft top) when removing snow or
ice.(Continued)
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:3

Cargo Shield
The cargo shield is located in the trunk. Before lowering
the convertible top, you must unfold the cargo shield and
seat 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.
