❒
Before moving the soft top, check that
there is enough room to carry out the op-
eration and that there are no obstacles or
people close to the moving parts of the
soft top.
❒
The cooled air flow into the passenger
compartment may decrease if the auto-
matic climate control system is on and the
top is not completely closed.
❒
With the top open and the car in mo-
tion, the voice recognition system may not
recognise the voice commands because of
the background noise. With top closed
and at a high speed, the voice function for
number dialling may not be recognised.

be moved manually proceeding as de-
scribed below:
❒
take the key A-fig. 6 provided and lo-
cated in the luggage compartment in com-
bination with the tool box or the Fix&Go
automatic kit.
