It is advisable to raise the spoiler when
the horizontal segment of the top
is open and at speeds faster than
50 km/h.
With the top completely open, it is
advisable to keep the spoiler lowered
to limit wind noise inside the passenger
compartment.
Raising the spoiler will reduce the flow
of air to the rear seats.
WASHING/CLEANING
THE SOFT TOP
18) 19) 20) 21) 22) 23) 24) 25)
Use of specific products is
recommended for washing the soft top
cloth.
The soft 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.
Remove as much dirt from the surface
of the soft top with a soft brush or
vacuum cleaning before washing
it. This operation will considerably
improve the final result.
In lack of specific products, use water
and neutral soap applied with a sponge
(preferably in the shade) for washing.
Rinse the soft top with clean water after
having eliminated all the stains.
Hand washing is recommended;
modern automatic washing systems
equipped with soft brushes which
do not apply excessive pressure and
employ specific soft top products may
be used.
Leave the car in the shade after
washing avoiding direct sunlight.
