Caution!
Driving with the convertible top not fully
locked could damage the convertible top.
Note: Do not spray water directly near
the seam of the window and
convertible top when flushing away dirt
on the soft top with water. Otherwise,
water may enter the vehicle (Refer to
"Convertible Top Maintenance" in
"Servicing And Maintenance" in the
Owner's Manual at www.fiatusa.com/en

Convertible Top
Precautions
Remove leaves or other debris that
may accumulate on and around the
convertible top. If leaves or other debris
block the drain filter, water may enter
the vehicle. Clean the drain filter at least
once a year.
Before lowering or raising the
convertible top, stop in a safe place off
of the road and park on a level surface.
When lowering the convertible top,
make sure objects inside the vehicle are
not blown away by the wind.
Secure all loose objects inside before
driving with the convertible top down.
To help prevent theft or vandalism
and to ensure that the passenger
compartment stays dry, close the
convertible top securely and lock both
doors when leaving the vehicle.
