It is advisable to cover the soft 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.
Before moving the soft top, check
that there is enough room to carry out
the operation and that there are no
obstacles or people close to its moving
parts.
The cooled air flow into the
passenger compartment may decrease
if the automatic climate control system
is on and the soft top is not completely
closed.
With the soft top open and the car
travelling, the voice recognition system
may not recognise voice commands
because of the background noise:
with the soft top closed and at a high
speed, the voice function for number
dialling may not be recognised.
EMERGENCY OPERATION
If the buttons fail, the soft top can
be moved manually proceeding as
described below:
take the key (1) fig. 41 provided and
located in the boot in combination with
the tool bag or the Fix&Go kit;

insert the provided key in position,
visible from inside the boot beneath the
parcel shelf in the point (1) shown in
fig. 42;
42
AB0A0295C
turn: clockwise to open the soft top;
anticlockwise to close it.
If the tailgate fails to open due to the
battery being flat, or following an
anomaly of the tailgate electric lock,
perform an emergency tailgate opening
as described in the “boot” paragraph
of the “Knowing your car” chapter,
the manually move the soft top as
described above.
To restore automatic movement,
contact an Abarth Dealership.
INITIALISATION
PROCEDURE
The soft top must be re-initialised after
disconnecting the battery or if the
relevant protection fuse is blown.
Proceed as follows:
with the ignition device at MAR, keep
the opening button pressed until the
soft top is completely open;
when the soft top is completely
open, keep the button pressed for at
least 2 seconds;
keep the closing button pressed until
the soft top is completely closed;
once the all closed position has been
reached, continue to press the button
until the soft top makes a full opening
and closing run.
If the soft top is already initialized, the
user can perform a new initialisation by
the following steps:
keep the opening button pressed
until the soft top is completely open;
when the soft top is completely
open, keep the button pressed for at
least 30 seconds (to force the loss of
initialisation);
keep the closing button pressed until
the soft top is completely closed;
