2005 Chrysler Sebring Owner Manual Convertible - Page 51

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 51 CAUTION! Damage to the top material could result if the latch handles are not completely closed when the top is lowered. The convertible top cover cannot be installed while the latch handles are open. To Raise The Top: NOTE: If the power convertible top system fails, raise the top by manually pulling the top until it meets the windshield and open both front latch handles. Pull the top until the two pins are seated in the windshield header. Using the center pull cup, pull down and hook each latch hook to its striker. Latch both sides. This may require a considerable amount of physical effort. 3 CAUTION! CAUTION! To avoid damage to the sunvisors, rotate the driver's and passenger's sunvisor to the forward (against glass) position before raising or lowering the convertible top. NOTE: To avoid damage to the convertible top or its components, your vehicle is equipped with a feature that prevents convertible top operation at speeds over 10 mph (16 km/h). To fully insure that no damage occurs, be sure that the vehicle is at a complete stop with the gear selector in the Park position before lowering or raising the top. 1. Remove the top cover and store it in the trunk. 2. Turn the ignition to the ON position. 3. Press the Power Top Switch to raise the top. Before the top reaches the windshield, open both front latch handles. Press the switch again to continue raising the top until the two pins seat themselves in the windshield header.
