The convertible soft top is made of
high quality material and if it is not
maintained correctly, the material could
harden, becomes stained, or have an
uneven gloss.
Do not lower the convertible top
when it's wet. If the convertible top
dries while folded, it will deteriorate and
mold.
Lowering the convertible top while
it's wet can also cause water to drip
into the cabin.
Do not raise or lower the convertible
top in a strong wind as it could damage
the convertible top or cause an
unexpected accident.
The power windows go down
automatically in conjunction with the
convertible top opening/closing.
However, this is a function for improving
the operability, and it does not mean
there is a problem. If the vehicle battery
is disconnected for vehicle maintenance
or other reasons, the power windows
will not go down automatically. If the
power windows do not go down, the
automatic open/close mechanism for
the windows must be reset.
The windblocker reduces the amount
of wind coming into the cabin from
behind when driving with the
convertible top opened.
WARNING
56)Before starting the vehicle make sure
the convertible top is correctly locked.
57)Sit in the seat with the seat belt
correctly fastened when the vehicle is
moving: standing in the vehicle, or sitting
on the convertible top storage area or
center console when the vehicle is moving
is a dangerous way to ride. During a
sudden manoeuvre or collision you could
be seriously injured or even killed.
58)Always keep your hands and fingers
away from the fastening mechanisms when
moving the convertible top: it is dangerous
to place your hands or fingers near the
fastening mechanisms. Your hands or
fingers could be caught and injured by the
mechanism.
59)Be careful while installing/removing the
soft top to prevent any damage or injury.
60)Keep children away from the area in
which the soft-top is folding while
installing/removing it.
IMPORTANT
12)Never open the soft top in presence of
snow or ice to prevent damage.
13)Loads may not be secured on the roof.
14)Bird droppings and plant resins must
be washed off the soft top immediately as
they can damage its fabric.
15)Never use high-pressure washing
systems.16)When using steam washers or
high-pressure water washers, maintain a
suitable distance and do not exceed a
maximum temperature of 60°C. Damage,
alterations and water infiltration may occur
if the distance is too small or if pressure is
too high.
17)If a water jet is used, direct away from
the edges of the fabric and the windscreen
surround to prevent water infiltration.
18)Never use alcohol, petrol, chemical
products, detergents, stain removers, wax,
solvents and “wash and polish” products.
19)Rinse immediately to remove soap to
prevent stains and blots. Repeat the
operation if needed.
20)Follow the instructions on the
waterproofing product container for perfect
results.
21)The rubber seals of the soft top must
be washed with water only. If you notice
that seals are dry or sticking, apply talcum
powder or products specifically for rubber
(silicone spray).
