2010 Chrysler Sebring Owner Manual Convertible - Page 88

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 87 CONVERTIBLE TOP OPERATION WARNING! The convertible top does not provide the structural protection that a reinforced metal roof does and the fabric top cannot be expected to prevent the ejection of the occupants in a collision. Therefore, it is important that all occupants wear their seat belts at all times. Death or serious injuries could occur if you are ejected from the vehicle during a collision. You can lower or raise the power convertible top from inside the vehicle or lower the top remotely using the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. Either operation takes approximately 30 seconds. The entire process, including unlatching or latching the top at the windshield header is automatic. The top does take up some space in the trunk when retracted. However, the trunk will still hold a significant amount of cargo. CAUTION! Failure to follow these cautions may cause interior water damage, stains or mildew on the top material: • Avoid high-pressure car washes, as they can damage the top material. Also, increased water pressure may force past the weather strips. • Remove any standing water from the top and dry the surface before opening it. Operating the top, opening a door or lowering a window while the top is wet may allow water to drip into the vehicles interior. • Use care when washing the vehicle, water pressure directed at the weather strip seals may cause water to leak into the vehicles interior. 3
