Knowing Your Car -> Soft Top for Your Fiat 500 C 2 Door First Generation (2009-2015)

Emergency manoeuvre  
If the switch does not work, the sun roof can be operated manually as follows:  
• remove the protective cap located on the inner lining at the rear of the sun  
blind;  
• take the Allen key provided from the tool box in the boot;  
• fit the Allen key in position and turn it:  
• clockwise to open the roof;  
• anticlockwise to close the roof.  
SOFT TOP  
8,9  
5
• The soft top can be opened/closed though  
controls inside the car, located near the  
roof light.  
• It is advisable to close the soft top when  
the car is parked. The closed soft top  
effectively protects the car from damage  
caused by bad weather and also from theft.  
IMPORTANT: the motor may overheat if the top is  
repeatedly operated within a short space of  
time, thus causing the overheating protection  
to inhibit system operation. Wait for a minute  
and repeat.  
Opening from top fully closed position  
• Press the “one-touch” button once to open  
the top automatically to the full  
horizontal opening position (spoiler  
position).  
• If one of the two buttons is pressed before  
the stop position is reached, the top may  
stop in an intermediate horizontal opening  
position.  
Opening from top in intermediate horizontal position  
• From the horizontal intermediate position press the “one-touch” button to move  
the top automatically to the horizontal fully open position (spoiler  
position).

Opening top from spoiler to fully open position  
• From the spoiler position, press the  
“one-touch” button; the top moves  
automatically to the fully open (vertical  
opening) position.  
• If one of the two buttons is pressed before  
the final position is reached, the top will  
stop and movement will be reversed, moving  
to the initial position (spoiler position).  
Closing the top from top fully open position  
• Press the “one-touch” button once to automatically close the soft top to  
spoiler position (vertical section closing). If one of the two buttons is  
pressed before the spoiler position is reached, the soft top will stop and  
movement will be reversed, moving to the initial position (fully open).  
Initial condition: from spoiler position to top fully closed  
• Press the “one-touch” button in spoiler position to bring the top  
automatically to safety position (approximately 25 cm from fully closed  
position). If one of the two buttons is pressed before the stop position is  
reached, the top may stop in an intermediate horizontal opening position.  
NOTE: the top does not automatically close completely. Hold down button B to  
completely close the top. If the button is released before fully closed position  
is reached, the top will stop instantly.  
Initial condition: from intermediate position to top fully closed  
• Press the “one-touch” closing button in horizontal intermediate position to  
bring the top automatically to safety position (approximately 25 cm from  
horizontal fully closed position).  
• Keep the closing button pressed to close the top completely.  
• The top will stop instantly if the button is released before the fully closed  
position is reached.
