WARNING
23)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.
24)Keep children away from the area in
which the top is folding during opening or
closing operations.25)When leaving the car, always remove
the key from the ignition device to avoid the
risk of injury due to accidental operation
of the soft top: improper use of the roof
can be dangerous. Before and during
operation, always check that no-one is at
risk of being injured by the moving soft top
roof or by objects getting caught and
dragged by it.
WARNING
14)Never open the top in presence of
snow or ice to prevent damage.
15)Do not place objects on the rear
window shelf to prevent damage while the
top is closing.
16)Loads may not be secured on the roof.
17)Bird droppings and plant resins must
be washed off immediately and thoroughly
as the acid they contain is particularly
aggressive.
18)Never use high-pressure washing
systems.
19)When using steam washers or
high-pressure water washers, maintain a
suitable distance and do not exceed a
maximum temperature of 60°C. Damage,
alterations and water infiltration may occur
if the distance is too small and the pressure
is too high.
20)If a water jet is used, direct away from
the edges of the fabric and the rear
window frame to prevent water infiltration.
21)Never use alcohol, petrol, chemical
products, detergents, stain removers, wax,
solvents and "wash and polish" products.

KNOWING YOUR CAR

Amber symbols
Symbol What it means
yellowENGINE OIL DETERIORATED
The warning light comes on flashing, on some versions along with a dedicated message on the display.
The warning light flashes for 3 minute cycles with the warning light off for intervals of 5 seconds until oil is
changed.
After the initial warning, each time the engine is started up, the warning light will continue to flash in the
same mode, until the oil is changed. On certain versions a dedicated message is displayed.
The flashing of the warning light should not be considered as a fault, it simply informs the customer that the
oil needs to be changed following normal car use.
Remember that engine oil deterioration is accelerated by using the car for short drives, preventing the
engine from reaching its operating temperature.
