Chrysler Crossfire SRT6, Instruction Manual

Page: 53 / 280

CAUTION!
When opening and closing the convertible top, make
sure that:
•
There is sufficient clearance of at least 6 ft. (1.8m)
for the convertible top to move up.
•
Nothing is placed on the tonneau cover.
•
The outside temperature is above 32°F (0°C).
Otherwise the convertible top and other parts of the
vehicle could be damaged.
CAUTION!
Use caution when putting items into the storage
compartment with the top in the closed position. The
tonneau cover extensions are exposed and can be
damaged if luggage or other items are pushed to far
into the storage compartment.
To Lower The Top:
WARNING!
Top operation can be suspended for a maximum of
10 minutes. Thirty seconds before the end of this
period an audible warning will begin to sound
continuously. At the end of this period, hydraulic
pressure will be released and the top and tonneau
cover will slowly collapse. Hands should be kept
away from moving parts of the top compartment
mechanism to avoid injury as hydraulic pressure is
reestablished. In order to re-initialize the top cycle,
the tonneau cover must be moved to its full open
position manually and lower the top assembly into
the storage compartment. Once the top is lowered
into the storage compartment, lower the tonneau
cover to its closed position. The hydraulic pressure
can now be reestablished by turning the ignition to
the ON/RUN position and pushing down on the
convertible top switch twice. Refer to Convertible
Top Emergency Operation in the What To Do In
Emergencies section of this manual.
