OPERATION BY MEANS OF
REMOTE CONTROL
The remote control can only be used
with the ignition device in the STOP
position and the doors closed.
The soft top can only be moved using
the remote control when it is between
the all closed position and the spoiler
position. It is not possible to move
the soft top if it is between the spoiler
position and the all open position.
Continuously pressing the
button
on the key, the roof opens and stops
in any position when the button is
released.
WARNINGS
The horizontal and vertical parts of
the soft top can be operated at any
speed lower than 100 and 80 km/h
respectively.
The soft top can be operated at any
temperature in the range from -18 to
+80
°
C.
If required, remove the 12V battery
with the soft top either open or closed,
but NOT while it is moving.
Do not fix roof racks to the soft top
and do not travel with objects resting
on the open top.
The activation of the heated rear
windscreen, upon request by the
user, is carried out only if the soft
top is completely closed. If the soft
top is closed incorrectly, the heated
rear window will not function and the
corresponding warning light will not
turn on.
When the soft top is opened using
the relevant control, if the heated rear
windscreen had been engaged it is
automatically deactivated and the
warning light switches off
Do not remove ice from the soft top
with a sharp item.
To prevent damage, do not use
scrapers or sprays to remove ice from
the heated rear window.
Do not put objects on the soft top:
they could fall if the it is operated,
causing damage and injury.
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.
ANTI-PINCH DEVICE
The soft top has an anti-pinch safety
system capable of detecting the
presence of an obstacle during the
closing movement: if this happens, the
system intervenes and the movement
of the soft top is immediately reversed
into opening.
After five consecutive activations of the
anti-pinching function in one minute,
the soft top must be recalibrated. For
recalibration, see the "Initialisation
procedure" paragraph.
