9. Insert the front locking handles located
near the sun visors in the proper holes and
turn them to the right one quarter turn.
Installing Front Locking Handles
NOTE:

Do not attach a roof rack on the soft top.

Do not keep the soft top folded for long
periods of time.

Do not remove ice from the top with a sharp
object.

Do not put objects on the top. The object
could fall if the top is operated causing
damage and injury.

The cooled air flow into the passenger
compartment may decrease if the automatic
climate control system is on and the top is
not all the way closed.

With the top open and the vehicle traveling,
the speech recognition system along with the
dial number command (if equipped), may not
be recognized because of the background
noise.

With the top installed at speeds higher than
80 mph (130 km/h), optimal comfort may
not be achieved.
The top fabric is treated with a special
water-repellent, waterproof product. The
water-repellent properties will degrade in time
with exposure to the weather elements.
Observe the following instructions for washing:

Use of specific products is recommended for
washing the top.

Bird droppings must be washed off immedi -
ately and thoroughly as the acid they contain
is particularly aggressive.

Never use high-pressure washing systems.

Hand washing is recommended; modern
automatic washing systems equipped with
soft brushes which do not apply excessive
pressure and employ specific soft top prod -
ucts may be used.

When using steam washers or high-pressure
power washers, maintain a suitable distance
and do not exceed a maximum temperature
of 140°F (60°C). Damage, alterations and
water infiltrations may occur if the distance is
too small.

If a water jet is used, direct away from the
edges of the fabric to prevent water infiltra -
tions.

Never use alcohol, petroleum products,
chemical products, detergents, stain
removers, wax, solvents, and “wash and
polish” products.

Remove as much dirt from the surface of the
top with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner
before washing it. This operation will consid -
erably improve the final result. In lack of
specific products, use water and mild soap
applied with a sponge preferably in the shade
for washing. Rinse the top with clean water
after having eliminated all the stains.

Rinse immediately to remove soap to prevent
stains.

Leave the vehicle in the shade after washing
avoiding direct sunlight.

Use specific waterproofing products for fabric
tops and follow the instructions on the
product container for best results.

The rubber seals of the top must be washed
with water only. Apply talcum power or use
specific rubber care products (silicone spray)
if the seals are dry or partially stuck.
