extended period of time in extremely cold
weather conditions, remove the battery
and store it in a heated area to prevent it
from freezing.

The correct support points for raising
the front and rear part of the car are
illustrated in fig. 101 and fig. 102.
IMPORTANT When positioning the car
on the arm lift, remember that the power

rain, etc.) and gravel, through specific
protections.
The chassis too, in light,
corrosion-resistant alloy, is treated to
prevent the formation of surface
oxidation.

Your car is covered by warranty against
perforation, due to rust, of any original
element of the structure. For the general
terms of this warranty, refer to the
Warranty Booklet.

correctly at the points illustrated, in order
to prevent damage to the carbon fibre
chassis and the bodywork components.

chassis, the car cannot be raised with
standard hydraulic jacks, only with
suitable lowered hydraulic jacks.
