Default 2006 Roadster owner's manual identification

I was looking through the owner's/operator's manual that came with my roadster when I bought it in April. I didn't see any information related to the convertible top, how to operate it etc..
Is there a difference between Coupe and Roadster owner's manuals? Thank you in advance for any help.
Here are some pictures of the one that I found in my car;

Thanks ZERACER. I've downloaded the manual but I was looking for an actual manual for my car. I don't think the one I have is correct after looking at the download again. I'll double check when I go out to the garage.

Probably right on that point. In 2004, the Crossfire was only called a Chrysler Crossfire, just like the cover of his owner's manual..

I think you're right about it being an older manual. I'm going to post a "wanted" in the market place. Maybe I'll find one.
Thanks for your help.

Guys, there are numerous versions of our owner's manual. Mine is so specific, it even has a picture of the SE on the cover in the exact color the 07/08 SE featured (which is not the same red as my 05 Limited).
I see they re-used pages that mention the Homelink and TPMS, neither of which SEs and base models had, and the cartoon view of the glovebox is that of an 04-06 Crossfire - so Im not saying they did all THAT much between the covers.

But all Roadsters came with a manual that discusses the convertible top - including discussions about how the only thing you can do for a non-functioning top, is to put the top up partway manually and run to a dealer..................

I made an offer one of the manuals. Hopefully it gets accepted.
Thanks for your help.

There is no mention of any convertible operation or proceedure in my current manual.
I'm in agreement with ZERACER and I think mine is from an early 2004 which would be before the roadster was released. The copywrite is 2003 on mine.
Thank you for the information and your help.

WOW, those prices! I wish I had about a dozen extra manuals.

UPDATE: My offer was excepted for the manual that was on ebay. It has the holder and all the other booklets that came with it.
It should be here in a few days. I'll do another update when it arrives.
I just hope it's the correct one for my car.
Thank you everyone for your help!

My 2005 Limited has a “gold” Chrysler emblem on the hood and “gold” Crossfire letters on the trunk lid. Was that some kind of special order? Thanks for any reply. Be well. MikeE

That sounds like it was customized by the previous owner.
Every Crossfire that I have seen came with silver letters and silver wing badges.

Yeah, I agree with John @ a prior owner and a customization of the lettering. If you post a picture maybe we can confirm it is all gold and not a series/year where the letters tarnished a goldish tint (will admit this would be a first here in the forum though)?
