Immediately remove any
bird excrement from the
top as it could cause se-
rious damage to the fabric due to
its causticity.
Never wash the top at
automatic car-washes
with rollers or high
pressure pumps as these could
damage the fabric’s fibres,
accelerating the loss of the
waterproofing characteristics.
Never use alcohol, gaso-
line, chemical products or
“wash and polish” clean-
ers and products.

THE TOP
The car features a powered three-ply top
with automatic-control and heated rear
window.
This kind of top combines proven protec-
tion against bad weather with friendliness
and convenience.
The following tips will help you to derive
the maximum pleasure from your car:
❒
close the top when parking the car.
With the top closed you protect the
passenger’s compartment against un-
expected bad weather and you also
protect the car against theft;
❒
you are however recommended to
stow any valuables in the boot, mak-
ing sure to lock it.
At high speed, slight decrease in pressure
inside the passenger compartment could
cause top “wobbling”: in this event acti-
vate/increase air intake into the passen-
ger compartment to restore proper pres-
sure level.
IMPORTANT
“Top opening” means car
“sunroof” opening and top folding into
the rear space provided for the purpose.
The opposite operation is identified with
“Top closing”.
PRECAUTIONS/INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USING THE TOP
Do not secure devices for carrying lug-
gage to the top.
Do not open the top when temperature
is below 0°C and do not remove ice us-
ing sharp objects.
Do not travel with the top cover open or
with half-opened top: risk of damages
or injuries.
Do not put objects on the top: when
opening the top they could cause dam-
ages or injuries.
If parking the car for a long period in the
open, cover the top with a protective
cloth.
TOP WASHING/CLEANING
The canvas top is treated with a special
water-repellent and waterproofing prod-
uct.
The water-repellent properties will de-
teriorate with the passage of time and
exposure to bad weather, therefore the
following precautions are recommend-
ed when washing:
