CHRYSLER 200 CONVERTIBLE 2013 1.G Owner's Manual

ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
• A long break-in period is not required for the engine and drivetrain (transmission and axle) inyour vehicle.
• Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.
• While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within the limits of local traffic laws contributes to a good break-in. Wide-open throttle acceleration in low gear can be detrimental and should
be avoided.
• The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a high-quality energy conserving type lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated climate conditions under which
vehicle operations will occur. For the recommended viscosity and quality grades, refer to
“Maintaining Your Vehicle”.
NOTE:
A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers) of opera-
tion. This should be considered a normal part of the break-in and not interpreted as an indica-
tion of difficulty.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may result.

Wind Stop (if equipped)
• The Wind Stop installs in the backseat area of the vehicle. The Wind Stop will not interferewith power top operation. Therefore, it can remain installed when the top is up. However, when
not in use, the Wind Stop folds to allow for convenient storage underneath the cargo shield in
the trunk.

• Do not place objects on the cargo shield. Objects placed on the cargo shield will interfere
with the top during lowering and cause extensive damage.
• Once this procedure has been completed and the top is in the UP (raised) position, see
your authorized dealer.
• DO NOT exceed 40 mph (64 km/h).
• Using the Emergency Bypass Mode could potentially damage the convertible top and
should only be used to raise the power top to the UP (raised) position when the normal top
operation is not functioning.
