LUBRICATING MOVING PARTS OF THE
B
ODYWORK
Ensure that the locks and bodywork junction
points, including components such as the seat
guides, door hinges (and rollers), trunk and hood
are periodically lubricated with lithium-based
grease to ensure correct, silent operation and to
protect them from rust and wear.
Thoroughly clean the components, eliminating
every trace of dirt and dust. After lubricating,
eliminate excess oil and grease. Also pay
particular attention to the hood closing devices,
to ensure correct operation. During operations on
the hood, to be carried out with the engine cold,
also remember to check, clean and lubricate the
locking, release and safety devices.
Lubricate the external lock barrels twice a year.
Apply a small amount of high-quality lubricant
directly into the lock barrel. If necessary, contact an authorized dealer as
soon as possible.
WINDSHIELD WIPER
Periodically clean the windshield and rear window
and rubber profile of the windshield wiper blades,
using a sponge or a soft cloth and a non-abrasive
detergent. This eliminates the salt or impurities
accumulated when driving.
Prolonged operation of the windshield window
wipers with dry glass may cause the deterioration
of the blades, in addition to abrasion of the
surface of the glass. To eliminate the impurities
on the dry glass, always operate the windshield
washers.
In the event of very low outdoor temperatures,
below 0°F (-17.8°C), ensure that the movement
of the rubber part in contact with the glass is not
obstructed. Use a suitable deicing product to
release it if required.
Avoid using the windshield wipers to remove frost
or ice.
Also avoid contact of the rubber profile of the
blades with petroleum derivatives such as engine
oil, gas, etc.
NOTE:
The life of the windshield wiper blades varies
according to the usage frequency. In any case, it
is advised to replace the blades approximately
once a year. When the blades are worn, noise, marks on the glass or streaks of water may be
noticed. In the presence of these conditions,
clean the windshield wiper blades or, if neces
-
sary, replace them.
Raising The Windshield Wiper Blades
(“Service Position” Function)
The “service position” function allows the driver
to replace the windshield wiper blades more
easily. It is also recommended to activate this
function when it is snowing and to make it easier
to remove any dirt deposits in the area where the
blades are normally positioned, when washing.
Activation Of The Function
To activate this function, disable the windshield
wiper before setting the ignition device to OFF.
This function can only be activated within two
minutes of placing the ignition in OFF.
To activate this function, move the lever upward
for at least three seconds.

WARNING!
Use only refrigerants and compressor lubri -
cants approved by the manufacturer for your
air conditioning system. Some unapproved
refrigerants are flammable and can explode,
injuring you. Other unapproved refrigerants or
lubricants can cause the system to fail, requir -
ing costly repairs. Refer to Warranty Informa -
tion Book, located in your owner’s information
kit, for further warranty information.
WARNING!
Driving with worn windshield wiper blades is a
serious hazard, because visibility is reduced in
bad weather conditions.

PROTECTION AGAINST ATMOSPHERIC
A
GENTS
The vehicle is equipped with the best available
technological solutions to protect the bodywork
against corrosion.
These include:
Painting products and systems which give the
vehicle resistance to corrosion and abrasion.
Use of galvanized (or pre-treated) steel sheets,
with high resistance to corrosion.
Spraying of plastic parts, with a protective
function in the more exposed points: under
door, inner wing, edges, etc.
Use of “open” boxed sections to prevent
condensation and pockets of moisture which
could favor the formation of rust inside.
Use of special films to protect against abrasion
in exposed areas (e.g. rear wing, doors, etc.).
CORROSION WARRANTY
Your vehicle is covered by Corrosion Warranty
against perforation due to rust of any original
element of the structure or bodywork. For the
general terms of this warranty, refer to the
Warranty Booklet.
CAUTION!
The Manual Trunk Opening Device allows the
trunk to be opened without a key, even if the
vehicle is locked. Do not use this Device
unless the vehicle is parked in a secure area.
