2013 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 lower-
ing 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.
•Always close the top when leaving your vehicle so
as not to leave the interior exposed to potentially
damaging outdoor conditions.
(Continued)
CAUTION! (Continued)
•Do not leave the top lowered for several weeks at a
time. Close it occasionally to prevent discoloration
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:

seat the tabs at each end of the cargo shield in the V slots

placed on cargo protector will interfere with the top
during operation and cause excessive damage to the
top and cargo shield.Positioning The Cargo Shield For Cargo Storage
