Initialisation procedure
The soft top must be re-initialised after
disconnecting the battery or if the
relevant protection fuse is blown.
Proceed as follows:
❒ before carrying out any other
operation, make sure the engine is
on during the whole initialisation
procedure;
❒ keep the opening button A-fig. 29
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 B-fig. 29
pressed until the soft top is
completely closed;
❒ when the soft top is completely
closed, keep the button B-fig. 29
pressed for at least 2 seconds.
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.
Important notes
❒ The horizontal and vertical parts of
the soft top can be operated at any
speed lower than 100 and 80 km/h
respectively.
❒ The top can be operated at any
temperature in the range from -18
to +80 .
❒ It is recommended to have the
engine running always when
opening or closing the soft top.
❒ If required, remove the battery with
open or closed soft top, but NOT
when the soft top is moving.
❒ Do not fix a roof rack to the 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 does not operate and
the relevant warning light does not
come 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 sharp items.
❒ Do not use scrapers or sprays to
remove ice from the heated rear
window to prevent damage.
❒ Do not put objects on the top: they
could fall if the top is operated
causing damage and injury.
❒ It is advisable to cover the top with
a protective sheet if the car is left
parked in the open for a long time.
