WARNING!
Vehicles and other objects seen in the
outside convex mirror will look
smaller and farther away than they
really are. Relying too much on your
passenger side convex mirror could
cause you to collide with another
vehicle or object. Use the inside mirror
to judge the size or distance of a
vehicle seen in the outside convex
mirror.
Folding Mirrors
Turn the external selector dial to the
lower central position "CLOSE", both
mirrors fold inward to facilitate
parking in narrow spaces. If the
selector dial is returned to the upper
central position, the mirrors return to
the open position.

You can signal another vehicle with
your headlights by lightly pulling the
left-hand multifunction lever toward
you. This will turn on the high beams
headlights until the lever is released.
Flashing occurs also with lights off
(light switch in position “0”) if the key
in the ignition switch is inMAR (ON)
position.
CAUTION!
The high beams can only be switched
on manually by pushing the left-hand
multifunction lever forward.
WARNING!
If the high beams are activated, they
will turn on automatically every time
the low beams are switched on either
manually or automatically. We
recommend therefore that you switch
them off when they are no longer
necessary and every time the twilight
sensor deactivates the external lights.

This function allows you to set a
timing for activation of the position
lights and low beams, so that they
may remain on for a set time after

the steering column, used to flash the
headlights.
The position lights and low beams
turn on for 30 seconds, the message
“Follow me” appears on the
instrument cluster display for 20seconds, and the light activation time
is displayed.
When this function is active, every
time the left-hand multifunction lever
for flashing the headlights is
operated, the time the lights remain
on is increased by 30 seconds, with a
maximum total time of 210 seconds.
The display will show the time set.
If the left-hand multifunction lever for
flashing the headlights is operated for
more than 2 seconds, the function is
deactivated, and the indicator on the
instrument cluster display goes off.
When the function is active, turning
the key in the ignition switch back to
MAR (ON)position deactivates the
system.Front Domelights

Soft Top
NOTE:
By soft top “opening” we
mean folding the soft top
into the rear luggage
compartment.
By soft top “closing” we
mean the opposite.
Precautions
Before and during the soft top
operation observe the following
precautions.
WARNING!
•Before opening or closing the soft
top, always check that no one is in
the way, as impact with the soft top
may cause injury. Also check that no
objects stand in the way of the soft
top, as impact may cause damage to
both the soft top and the object.
•The movement of the soft top with
the engine running must be
performed outdoor. Exhaust gases
contain carbon monoxide which is
strongly toxic and potentially lethal.•In case of hazard, release the soft
top button, which stops its
movement.
•Keep your hands away from the soft
top levers, the soft top compartment
and the upper edge of the
windshield.
•Before operating the soft top, make
sure that no passengers are sitting in
the rear seats.
•Never operate or act on a soft top
that is performing an automatic
movement cycle.
CAUTION!
• Do not open the soft top when it is
wet, as the damp that would form in
the soft top housing might cause
permanent damage to the structure
or stains or mold in the canvas.
Should it need to be opened, do not
leave it sitting in the housing for
more than a day.
• Open the soft top when it is dirty, as
both the canvas and the rear window
might be damaged when it is folded.
• Do not open the soft top if there is
ice or snow on it. Should it need to
be opened, remove the snow or iceand do not use sharp or pointed
objects.
• Do not place objects on the soft top
as they might fall and cause damage
and injury when it is moved.
• Do not place any objects in the soft
top housing.
• Do not fasten roof-racks or similar on
the soft top.
• When closing the soft top, never
start driving before the soft top has
completed the closing cycle and has
locked on the windshield frame.
• Only open or close the soft top when
the vehicle is stationary, otherwise it
might not fully open or close. For
example, if you start moving the soft
top when you are standing at a
traffic light and you start driving
before the soft top has completed its
opening or closing cycle, you can
complete the operation by driving
slowly (do not exceed 19 mph -
30 km/h) and holding the soft top
movement switch pushed until the
process has been completed.
• If you are driving at high speeds,
vacuum might be created in the
passenger compartment and the soft
top might start “wobbling”; to solve

• Turn the wrench clockwise to move
the soft top edge closer to the
windshield, and fasten the fastening
latches inside the locks.
• Remove the unlocking/locking
wrench from the soft top seat and
place it in the tool kit box together
with the screwdriver.Windstop (optional)
The Windstop consists of a panel fitted
behind the front seats, which prevents
the wind from creating turbulence in
the passenger compartment when the
soft top is open. The Windstop can
also be left installed with soft top
closed.
WARNING!
With Windstop installed you can not
carry passengers in the rear seats.
The Windstop is normally stored in a
protective bag inside the trunk
compartment.
This bag is secured inside the
compartment by means of a strap.
CAUTION!
• It is recommended not to place sharp
and pointed objects which may
contact the protective bag in the
trunk compartment, unless they are
firmly secured.
• You should not place objects on the
Windstop protective bag, even if
they are secured, as they maydamage the Windstop with their
weight.
NOTE:
If the vehicle is equipped with spare
wheel (optional), it may not house in
the trunk compartment the Windstop
inside its bag.
Fitting the Windstop
• Take the Windstop out of its bag.
• Turn the lower left-hand part, until it
is fully laid out.
• Join the rear section to the base of
the Windstop.

• If already extracted, retract the rear
pins on the sides of the Windstop
base by sliding inward the relative
guide.
• Lift the upper left-hand part of the
windbreaker until it is fully opened.
• By acting on the bottom of the
Windstop base, push outward the
red lever shown in the detail of
picture and release it in order to
insert the coupling pin on the end
ring of the upper part of the
windbreaker.
CAUTION!
During the following installation
operations, take the greatest care to
avoid damaging the internal trims of
the vehicle.
• Bring the front part of the Windstop
base in position on the vehicle.
• Fit the pin in the relative seat on the
rear right-hand panel of the vehicle
by sliding out the guide pin.• Perform the same operation to
engage the opposite pin on the left
side of the Windstop base.
• Keep the rear pins in the retracted
position moving the pin's handle in
the direction of the arrows shown in
the detail of picture.
• Let the pins go. In this way the
Windstop base will result firmly fixed
to the vehicle.
• Align the pins on their seats on the
rear panels of the vehicle and let the
pins go. In this way the Windstop
base will result firmly fixed to the
vehicle.
