HARD TOP

(where fitted)

The hard top is fitted with a heated

rear window and should be used in-

stead of the hood during the winter.

USEFUL TIPS

Before fitting the hard top, fold the

hood into its housing properly and an-

chor the hood housing cover to its

safety devices.

Remove the seat belts from the slots

in the seat backs and tip the seat backs

forward.

Position and remove the hard top

with the side windows fully lowered

or the doors open. Get another per-

son to help you to support the hard

top on the right and left. 

If repairs or maintenance are neces-

sary, take the car to a Fiat Dealer-

ship.
