FUEL CONSUMPTION ACCORDING TO THE CURRENT EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE (litres/100 km)
FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the table below are determined on the basis of the type-approval tests laid down by specific
European Directives.
The following procedures are used to measure the fuel consumption:
❒ urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that simulates urban use of the car;
❒ extra-urban cycle: driving that simulates extra-urban use of the car, with frequent acceleration in all gears; the speed varies from
0 to 120 km/h;
❒ combined consumption: this is calculated with a weighting of about 37% urban cycle consumption and about 63% extra-urban
consumption.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic situations, weather conditions, driving style, general conditions of the car, trim
level/equipment/accessories, load, climate control system, roof rack, other situations that affect air drag may lead to different fuel
consumption levels than those measured.

REMOVABLE SOFT TOP
135) 29)
The car is equipped with a soft top
fig. 109 that can be removed manually
and combines ease of use and total
protection against weather agents.
The soft top can be stored in a suitable
container inside the luggage
compartment after having been removed.
To remove the soft top, proceed as
follows:
❒ release the two central locking
devices 1 fig. 110 inside the car by
rotating them by ¼ turn anti-clockwise;
109A0L0200
❒ at the side of the car, with the door
open, press the rail downwards to de-
tension the soft top, then move the two
side devices 2 fig. 111 inwards and lift
the soft top end part releasing it from the
retainers;
❒ package the first side of the soft top
rolling it up to the centre line;
❒ proceed in the same way for the other
side of the soft top;
❒ remove the soft top with both sides
rolled and store it in the suitable
container inside the luggage
compartment.
❒ before placing it in the dedicated
container it is necessary to cover the
central pins 1 Fig. 112 with the
appropriate buffer included in the supply
to prevent damage to the soft top fabric
during the packaging.

To position again the soft top on the car,
proceed as follows:
❒ open the doors;
❒ take the soft top from the luggage
compartment and place it in the centre
line; the front side can be recognised by
the presence of the safety visor fig. 110;
❒ unroll the soft top inserting it under
the spoiler and making sure that it is
correctly positioned;
❒ turn the rail upwards and insert in the
side centring pins of the soft top in the
respective housings
fig. 113 on the car being careful to insert
the front pin and the rear pin;❒ press the side devices 2 inwards
fig. 114 and turn the rail downwards;
❒ leave the handles and complete the
rail rotation pressing it until you hear the
closing click of the lock;
❒ check that the devices 2 are
completely closed fig. 115;
❒ proceed in the same way for the other
side of the soft top;
114A0L0220
❒ position the two central devices
1 fig. 110 in the suitable housing inside the
car and rotate them by ¼ turn clockwise
to lock them. Check the correct insertion of
the pins into their seats and make sure the
grab ring is in horizontal position.
The fixing is carried out correctly and the
soft top is ensured only when the ring is
located in a horizontal position
(not vertical, or at 45°).
IMPORTANT NOTES
❒ It is advisable to install the soft top
after parking the car.
The closed top effectively protects the
car from rain and from theft.

❒ Do not fix a roof rack to the top.
❒ Do not remove ice from the soft top
with sharp items.
❒ Do not place objects on the soft top,
as they could fall causing damage or
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.
❒ Do not store the soft top in its
compartment when very dirty or wet, to
avoid any mildew or damage.
❒ with soft top installed, when travelling
over 130 km/h the aerodynamic comfort
may not be optimal.WASHING/CLEANING THE SOFT TOP
30)
Use of specific products is recommended
for washing the soft top cloth.
The soft top fabric is treated with a
special water-repellent, waterproof
product.
The water-repellent properties will
degrade in time with exposure to the
weather elements. Observe the following
instructions for washing:
it is recommended to wash by hand.
Remove as much dirt from the surface of
the soft top with a soft brush or vacuum
cleaning before washing it.
This operation will considerably improve
the final result.
In lack of specific products, use water
and mild soap applied with a sponge
(preferably in the shade) for washing.
Rinse the soft top with clean water after
having eliminated all the stains.
Leave the car in the shade after washing
avoiding direct sunlight.
Waterproofing the top
31)
Use specific waterproofing products for
fabric soft-tops.
Interior top fabric
Remove dust with a soft brush.
Avoid using hard brushes made of
synthetic material to prevent damaging
the fabric beyond repair.
Clean the surface with a microfibre cloth
or soft sponge dipped in a solution of
water and mild soap. Clean the entire
surface, including the zones where
cleaning is not needed, to prevent haloes
or staining.
Use common, car care mild stain
removers for more stubborn stains.
Apply by blotting (never rubbing) directly
on the area of the stain.
