KNOWING YOUR CAR

With the top completely open, it is
advisable to keep the spoiler lowered to
limit wind noise inside the passenger
compartment.
Raising the spoiler will reduce the flow
of air to the rear seats.
WARNING
22)Keep hands away from the top
mechanism while opening and closing the
top or if the top stops in a position before
completing the cycle to prevent damage
and injury.
23)Keep children away from the area in
which the top is folding during opening or
closing operations.24)When leaving the car, always remove
the key from the ignition device to avoid the

of the soft top: improper use of the roof
can be dangerous. Before and during

risk of being injured by the moving soft top
roof or by objects getting caught and
dragged by it.
