Power Convertible Top Usage Precautions - Chrysler Sebring Convertible 2010 User Manual

84 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE
The top does take up some space in the trunk when
retracted. However, the trunk will still hold a significant
amount of cargo.
When operating the power convertible top, the trunk lid
will pivot at the rear of the vehicle, swing open by the
rear window, and then pivot backward. This allows room
for the top to retract into or unfold from its stowage area
in the trunk.
When lowering the top, the system extends the hard
tonneau cover, which stows conveniently underneath the
trunk lid. The tonneau cover closes the area between the
rear seats and the trunk lid to conceal the top when
stowed.
When raising the top, the system retracts the hard tonneau
cover back into its stowage area underneath the trunk lid.
To complete either operation, the trunk lid returns to its
normal position and then latches.
Spring-loaded flipper doors, which provide clearance for
the linkage, close off notches in the quarter trim panels
when the top is down.

Power Convertible Top Usage Precautions

NOTE:
• The convertible top will not operate unless the vehicle
is stationary, the cargo shield is positioned correctly,
and the trunk lid is closed and latched. In addition, the
system prohibits lowering the top when ambient tem-
perature is at 0°F (-18°C) or lower, However, the
system allows you to raise the top at ambient tempera-
tures as low as -40°F (-40°C).
• The Power Top Control Module (PTCM) monitors and
controls lowering and raising of the top. A series of
micro-switches verify that operations are complete
before allowing the next stage of lowering or raising
operation.
