STOP position, leaving the right
steering wheel stalk in the AUTO (B)
position, when the vehicle is next
started (starter switch in the MAR
position), no wiping cycle to prevent
damage to the system if the
windscreen is being washed manually
or if there is ice on it.
To re-enable the automatic wiping
mode:
❒ Put the right steering wheel stalk in
a position other than AUTO and
then back to the AUTO position;
❒ exceed the speed of 5 km/h when
the sensor detects rain.

❒ The activation of the heated rear
windscreen, upon request by the
user, is carried out only if the soft
top is completely closed. If the soft
top is closed incorrectly, the heated
rear window does not operate and
the relevant warning light does not
come on.
❒ When the soft top is opened using
the relevant control, if the heated
rear windscreen had been engaged
it is automatically deactivated and
the warning light switches off.
❒ Do not remove ice from the soft top
with sharp items.
❒ Do not use scrapers or sprays to
remove ice from the heated rear
window to prevent damage.
❒ Do not put objects on the top: they
could fall if the top is operated
causing damage and injury.
❒ It is advisable to cover the top with
a protective sheet if the car is left
parked in the open for a long time.❒ Do not keep the soft top folded for
a long time: this could cause folds
and creases in the fabric.
❒ Before moving the soft top, check
that there is enough room to carry
out the operation and that there are
no obstacles or people close to the
moving parts of the soft top.
❒ The cooled air flow into the
passenger compartment may
decrease if the automatic climate
control system is on and the top is
not all closed.
❒ With the top open and the car
travelling, the speech recognition
system may be recognised voice
controls because of the background
noise: then the top is closed the dial
number command may not be
recognised.DOORS
