2014 CHRYSLER 200 CONVERTIBLE trunk release

CAUTION!(Continued)
•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:
WARNING!
Failure to follow these warnings can result in injuries
that are serious or fatal to you, your passengers, and
others around you:

WARNING!(Continued)
•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 interrupt the
operation.
• When using the power top switch on the center
console, if potential danger exists while lowering
the top, release the switch immediately to interrupt
the operation.
(Continued)
WARNING! (Continued)
•When using the power top switch on the center
console, if potential danger exists while raising the
top, release the switch immediately to interrupt 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 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.

indicator system. The “Oil Change Required” message
will flash in the EVIC display for approximately five

your personal driving style.
Unless reset, this message will continue to display each
time you turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN
position. To turn off the message temporarily, press and
release the Menu button. To reset the oil change indicator
