When the procedure is terminated, the
soft top will automatically carry out a
complete opening and closing cycle (up
to 25 cm from the completely closed
position) to inform the driver that
correct operation has been restored.
WIND STOP
The Wind Stop fig. 36 is designed to
improve driving comfort, by reducing air
turbulence in the passenger
compartment when travelling with the
soft top down.
To use it:
Release the backrest of the rear seat
(single or split).
Attach the Wind Stop by inserting
the central part inside the rear screen
guard, with the concave part in the
direction of the passenger, as shown in
the figure fig. 36;
re-position the backrest correctly;
the Wind Stop is locked between
the seat and parcel shelf.
FRONT SPOILER
The car is provided with a front spoiler
which can be raised to improve
aerodynamic comfort inside the
passenger compartment.
To lift the spoiler, release the catch by
means of the slider 1 moving it to
position B as shown in fig. 37.
Be careful not to move the slider 1 from
position B to position A with the spoiler
up.
To lower the spoiler, press and move
the slider to position A fig. 37 to lock it
once the slider’s catch is positioned
inside its housing fig. 38.
It is advisable to raise the spoiler when
the horizontal segment of the top is
open and at speeds faster than 50
km/h.
With the top completely open, it is
advisable to keep the spoiler lowered to
limit wind noise inside the passenger
compartment.
Raising the spoiler will reduce the flow
of air to the rear seats.
WARNING
22) 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.
23) Keep children away from the area in
which the top is folding during opening or
closing operations.
