When operating the top,

make sure that the space

available is sufﬁcient for safe

performance of the procedure and

that there are no objects in the way or

persons near the moving parts. In the

event of a hazard, release the top

operation pushbutton to stop its

movement. Do not place hands near to

the top’s levers, in its housing, on the

upper edge of the windshield or

between the top and its cover.

WARNING Do not stop the opening or

closing procedure when the top is in

the mid position because, after several

minutes with the ignition key in the

MAR position or turning the key

immediately to the STOP position, he

pressure drops in the hydraulic circuit

and the top top is released, dropping

forward or backward, thereby causing

possible damage.

WARNING At the beginning of the top

opening or closing procedure, always

ensure that the door windows have

lowered automatically. If not, release

the top operation pushbutton and

lower both door windows using the

respective pushbuttons or open the

doors slightly.

WARNING Before disconnecting the

battery, lower the side windows by

about 4÷5 centimeters, in order to

avoid damaging the top strips when

opening and closing the doors. When

the battery is connected and loaded,

this operation is carried out

automatically upon opening and

closing the door. The windows must

remain lowered until the battery is

connected once again. If the battery

runs ﬂat when the windows are fully

raised, open the door only if necessary

and taking utmost care. Do not close

the door as long as the window cannot

be lowered.

WARNING After reconnecting the

battery, before operating the top, raise

the windows fully in order to allow the

ECU to be reactivated correctly.

Opening and closing

WARNING The top must be operated

with the vehicle stationary, the

handbrake engaged and, as a general

rule, with the engine idling.

The operation must be carried

out outdoors. Exhaust gases

contain carbon monoxide

which is strongly toxic and potentially

lethal.

If necessary, (e.g. procedure performed

indoors), the manouver can be carried

out with the engine off and the

ignition key in the MAR position.

The top opening or closing procedure

is admissible only if all of the following

conditions occur:

1) Vehicle stationary with handbrake

engaged.

2) Engine and luggage compartment

lids completely closed.

3) Ignition key in the MAR position.

4) Windows fully up.
