THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 15

NOTE:
•Do not attach a roof rack on the soft top.
• Do not keep the soft top folded for long periods of
time.
• Do not remove ice from the top with a sharp object.
• Do not put objects on the top. The object could fall if
the top is operated causing damage and injury.
• The cooled air flow into the passenger compartment
may decrease if the automatic climate control system
is on and the top is not all the way closed. •
With the top open and the vehicle travelling, the
speech recognition system along with the dial num-
ber command, may not be recognized because of the
background noise if equipped.
• With the top installed at speeds higher than 80 mph
(130 km/h), optimal comfort may not be achieved.
The 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:
NOTE:
• Use of specific products is recommended for washing
the top.
• Bird droppings must be washed off immediately and
thoroughly as the acid they contain is particularly
aggressive.
• Never use high-pressure washing systems.
• Hand washing is recommended; modern automatic
washing systems equipped with soft brushes which
do not apply excessive pressure and employ specific
soft top products may be used.

•When using steam washers or high-pressure power
washers, maintain a suitable distance and do not
exceed a maximum temperature of 140 °F (60 °C).
Damage, alterations and water infiltrations may oc-
cur if the distance is too small.
• If a water jet is used, direct away from the edges of
the fabric to prevent water infiltrations.
• Never use alcohol, petroleum products, chemical
products, detergents, stain removers, wax, solvents,
and “wash and polish” products.
• Remove as much dirt from the surface of the top with
a soft brush or vacuum cleaner 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 top with clean water
after having eliminated all the stains.
• Rinse immediately to remove soap to prevent stains.
• Leave the vehicle in the shade after washing avoid-
ing direct sunlight. •
Use specific waterproofing products for fabric tops
and follow the instructions on the product container
for best results.
• The rubber seals of the top must be washed with
water only. Apply talcum power or use specific
rubber care products (silicone spray) if the seals are
dry or partially stuck.
SEATS
Seats are a part of the Occupant Restraint System of the
vehicle.
WARNING!
•It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or
outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding
in these areas are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed.
• Do not allow people to ride in any area of your
vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat
belts. In a collision, people riding in these areas
are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and
using a seat belt properly.

INSTALLATION OF RADIO TRANSMITTING
EQUIPMENTSpecial design considerations are incorporated into this
vehicle’s electronic system to provide immunity to radio
frequency signals. Mobile two-way radios and telephone
equipment must be installed properly by trained person-
nel. The following must be observed during installation.
The positive power connection should be made directly
to the battery and fused as close to the battery as possible.
The negative power connection should be made to body
sheet metal adjacent to the negative battery connection.
This connection should not be fused.
Antennas for two-way radios should be mounted on the
roof or the rear area of the vehicle. Care should be used
in mounting antennas with magnet bases. Magnets may
affect the accuracy or operation of the compass on
vehicles so equipped.The antenna cable should be as short as practical and
routed away from the vehicle wiring when possible. Use
only fully shielded coaxial cable.
Carefully match the antenna and cable to the radio to
ensure a low Standing Wave Ratio (SWR).
Mobile radio equipment with output power greater than
normal may require special precautions.
All installations should be checked for possible interfer-
ence between the communications equipment and the
vehicle’s electronic systems.
