WARNING
150) The road holding qualities of
the car also depend on the correct
inflation pressure of the tyres.
151) If tyre pressure is too low, it
may overheat and be severely
damaged as a result.
152) Do not switch tyres from the
left to the right side and vice
versa, in order to prevent
inversion of the rotation direction.
153) Do not repaint alloy wheel rims
at temperatures higher than
150°C. The mechanical
characteristics of the wheels
might be compromised.
WINDSCREEN/REAR
WINDOW WIPERS
BLADES
It is advisable to replace the blades
about once a year.
154)
A few simple precautions can reduce
the possibility of damage to the blade:
❒if the temperature falls below zero,
make sure that ice has not frozen
the rubber to the glass. Use an
antifreeze product to release it if
required;
❒remove any snow from the glass;
❒do not operate the windscreen/rear
window wipers on dry glass.
Replacing the
windscreen wiper
blades
Proceed as follows:
❒raise the wiper arm, press tab A fig.
190 of the attachment spring and
remove the blade from the arm;
❒fit the new blade by inserting the tab
into the special slot in the arm. Make
sure that it is properly locked into
place.
❒lower the wiper arm on the
windscreen.Raising the windscreen
wipers
If it is necessary to lift the blade from
the windscreen (e.g. in the event of
snow or if the blade needs
replacement) proceed as follows:
❒turn the ignition key to the MAR-ON
position;
❒operate the lever to the right of the
steering wheel to activate a
windscreen wiper stroke (see
paragraph "Window washing" in
chapter "Getting to know your car");
❒turn the ignition key to the STOP
position when the driver's side wiper
blade reaches the windscreen side
pillar and lift the windscreen wiper to
the rest position;
❒bring the wiper blades back into
contact with the windscreen before
activating the windscreen wiper.

"Service position"
Function activation
The "Service position" function allows
the driver to replace the windscreen
wiper blades more easily, protecting
them from snow.
To activate this function disable the
windscreen wiper (ring nut A fig. 191 in
positionO) before turning the ignition
key to STOP.
This function can only be activated
within 2 minutes from when the ignition
key is turned to STOP.
To activate this function, move the lever
upwards (unstable position) for at
least half a second.Each time the function is activated
correctly, the blades move to signal the
correct reception of the command.
This command can be repeated up to a
maximum of three times. After that the
function is disabled.
If after using this function the key is
brought back to MAR-ON and the
blades are not in the stop position,
these will be brought in the 1st speed
stop position only after a command
given through that lever (moving the
lever in unstable position) or when
5 km/h are exceeded.
Function deactivation
The function is deactivated if:
❒two minutes have passed since when
the ignition key has been taken to
STOP;
❒the ignition key is turned to MAR-ON
and the blades are in the stop
position;
❒is activated 3 times.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT
Avoid parking under trees; the resin
dropped by trees makes the paintwork
go opaque and increases the possibility
of corrosion.
Bird droppings must be washed off
immediately and thoroughly as the acid
they contain is particularly aggressive.
Windows
Use specific detergents and clean
cloths to prevent scratching or altering
the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window
inside gently with a cloth following the
direction of the filaments to avoid
damaging the heating device.
Front headlights
Use a soft cloth soaked in water and
detergent for washing cars.
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic
substances (e.g. petrol) or ketenes (e.g.
acetone) for cleaning the plastic lenses
of the front headlights.
IMPORTANT When cleaning with a
pressure washer, keep the water jet at
least 20 cm away from the headlights.Engine compartment
At the end of every winter, wash the
engine compartment thoroughly, taking
care not to aim the jet of water directly
at the electronic control units or at
the windscreen wiper motors. Have this
operation performed at a specialised
workshop.
IMPORTANT The washing should take
place with the engine cold and the
ignition key in the STOP position. After
the washing operation, make sure
that the various protections (e.g. rubber
caps and guards) have not been
removed or damaged.
IMPORTANT
6) Detergents cause water pollution.
Only wash your car in areas
equipped to collect and treat
wastewater from this type
of activity.
IMPORTANT
38) In order to preserve the aesthetic
appearance of the paint abrasive
products and/or polishes should
not be used for cleaning the car.
