• how far (if at all) the driver was
depressing the accelerator and/or
brake pedal; and
• how fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances in
which crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE:
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle
only if a non-trivial crash situation
occurs; no data are recorded by the
EDR under normal driving conditions
and no personal data (e.g., name,
gender, age, and crash location) are
recorded. However, other parties, such
as law enforcement, could combine
the EDR data with the type of
personally identifying data routinely
acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR,
special equipment is required, and
access to the vehicle or the EDR is
needed.
In addition to the vehicle
manufacturer, other parties, such as
law enforcement, that have the
special equipment, can read the
information if they have access to
vehicle or the EDR. Active Roll Bars The active roll bars that equip the
vehicle have been designed for
protecting passengers in the event of
a vehicle rollover.
They are fitted behind the rear seat
headrests, usually in a hidden position,
and are activated by a specific ECU
which, only in the case of high-severity
rollover, deploys them in a few tenths
of a second. A cross member then
locks them in this position.
The roll bars have been designed in
such a way that they can be fully
deployed also with the soft top closed.
This is ensured by a device which
breaks the rear window when it comes
in contact with it.
In combination with the windshield
outer frame, they help creating an
anti-intrusion safety cell. In addition to being deployed in the
case of rollovers around the vehicle
longitudinal axis (as shown in the
figure) the active roll bars activate as a
precautionary measure in the event of
sufficiently severe side and rear
collisions, and in all cases where the
battery might be disconnected. They
do not activate in the event of
spinning.
WARNING!
• The active roll bars do not prevent
the risk of the occupants being
thrown out of the vehicle or hitting
against its internal structures. Only
the seat belts are designed for these
purposes and must always be
properly fastened when traveling.

careful when using the seat heater. It
may cause irritation even at low
temperatures, especially if used for
long periods of time.
• Do not place anything on the seat
that insulates against heat, such as a
blanket or cushion. This may cause
the seat heater to overheat. NOTE:
Seat
heating also works with engine
off and key in ignition switch in ACC
or MAR (ON) position. To avoid
discharging the battery, it is
recommended to activate the feature
with engine running.
The heating is activated by turning

this problem let more air into the
passenger compartment.
• It is advisable to close the soft top
when parking the vehicle. This not
only protects the passenger
compartment against weather
agents, but is also a safeguard
against theft.
• If possible, park in the shade as
prolonged exposure to the sun will
alter the canvas fiber and color.
• Before disconnecting the battery,
lower the side windows by about 1.6
- 2 in (4 - 5 cm) to prevent damaging
the soft top strip when the doors are
opened and closed. When the
battery is connected and fully
charged, this operation is performed
automatically whenever the doors
are opened or closed. The windows
must remain lowered until the
recharged battery is reconnected. If
the battery is dead and the windows
are fully up, only open the doors
when strictly necessary and being
extremely careful: do not close them
again until the windows can be
lowered.
• Cover the soft top with a protective
cloth when it is going to be parked
outdoor for a long period of time. • To avoid damaging the soft top, the
vehicle must not be washed with
high-pressure water jet systems, be it
a manual nozzle or an automatic car
wash with turning rollers.
• Organic residues must be
immediately removed, as they may
damage both the soft top fabric and
its strips.
• Do not use solvents, alcohol, petrol
or other generic detergents to clean
the soft top.
"Summer open" Strategy Using the key inserted in the external
driver's door lock, you can control the
soft top opening/closing strategy
referred to as “Summer open”.
NOTE:
• The opening and closing cycle can be
interrupted at any time, moving the
key back to its initial position.
• The following operations are
performed with the engine off. This
involves an extremely high power
consumption, which causes the
battery to discharge faster.
With the soft top fully closed :
• insert the key in the external driver’s
door lock; • turn the key clockwise until
unlocking the doors and hold it in
this position. The automatic soft top
opening cycle will begin after
approx. 2 seconds;
• do not move the key for the entire
opening cycle.
With the soft top fully open :
• insert the key in the external driver’s
door lock;
• turn the key counterclockwise until
locking the doors and hold it in this

as a rule, with the engine running at
idle speed.
If necessary (e.g. in closed places) the
operation can be performed with the
engine off and the key in the ignition
switch in MAR (ON) position. This
operation involves an extremely high
power consumption, which causes the
battery to discharge faster.
For moving the soft top, use the two
buttons on the central console:
( C ): soft top closing button.
( O ): soft top opening button.
Opening Cycle
Press the ( O ) soft top opening button
and hold it pressed for the entire
