OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Raising The Power Top
Auto Close
From the convertible top fully open position, push the top close button for approxi-
mately one second for the three-quarter open/spoiler position. Push the top close
button for approximately one second a second time for the one-quarter open posi-
tion. Push and hold close button to fully close convertible top.
Manual Close
For manual close, push and hold the close button until desired position until one-
quarter open position. Push and hold again for full close position.
NOTE:
• If the top is three-quarter of the way open, you can close the top if vehicle speeds
are above 50 mph (80 km/h).
• If the top is fully open and the vehicle is traveling at 50 mph (80 km/h) or above,
it will not allow you to close the top.
NOTE:
Rail lubrication is recommended every 2000 cycles, or if scratching noises due to dust
are present. Refer to "Fluids, Lubes, and Genuine Part" in "Maintaining Your Vehicle" in
the Owner's Manual at www.fiatusa.com/en/owners/manuals/for further information.
The convertible top does not provide the structural protection that a reinforced
metal roof does and the fabric top cannot be expected to prevent the ejection of
the occupants in a collision. Therefore, it is important that all occupants wear their
seat belts at all times. Death or serious injuries could occur if you are ejected from
the vehicle during a collision.
Failure to follow these cautions may cause interior water damage, stains or mil-
dew on the top material:
• Avoid high-pressure car washes, as they can damage the top material. Also,
increased water pressure may force water past the weather strips.
• Remove any standing water from the top and dry the surface before opening
it. Operating the top, opening a door or lowering a window while the top is
wet may allow water to drip into the vehicle's interior.
• Use care when washing the vehicle, water pressure directed at the weather
strip seals may cause water to leak into the vehicle's interior.
WARNING!
CAUTION!
