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
