GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

2. When the HomeLink indicator begins
to flash slowly, move the portable remote
control 1 to 3 inches from the system
(keeping the programmable button
pressed down).
If the indicator does not begin to flash
quickly, change the distance between the
HomeLink and the portable remote
control and try the procedure again.
The HomeLink indicator flashes, first
slowly and then quickly. When the
indicator starts to flash quickly, release
both buttons on the remote control.
The system previously programmed to
HomeLink has now been deleted and the
new system is ready to use. This does not
affect the other two HomeLink buttons in
any way.
Deleting Programmed Keys
It is recommended to delete HomeLink
programming before selling the vehicle.
All three keys are deleted
simultaneously.
Proceed as follows:
1. Push and hold the outer buttons
(1 and 3). After about ten seconds, the
indicator will start to flash.
2. Release both keys. Technical Information For After Sales

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Ensure that the oil level is within the
interval on the dipstick between the
minimum and maximum limits
(Quadrifoglio only).
Changing The Engine Oil
See the "Maintenance Plan" for the
correct servicing intervals.
Choice Of Engine Oil Type
To ensure optimal performance and
maximum protection in all operating
conditions, it is advised to use certified
engine oils. Refer to "Fluid And
Lubricants" in "Technical Specifications"
for further information.
Additives For Engine Oil
It is strongly recommended not to use
additives (other than leak detection dyes)
with the engine oil.
The engine oil is a product designed
specially for the vehicle and its
performance may be deteriorated
through the use of further additives.
Disposal Of Used Engine Oil And Filters
For the disposal of the engine oil and
filters, contact the appropriate body to
determine local regulations.
Note:Used engine oil disposed of
incorrectly may seriously harm the
environment.Engine Oil Filter
Replacing the Engine Oil Filter
The engine oil filter must be replaced
each time the engine oil is changed. It is
advised to replace it with a genuine spare
part, specifically designed for this
vehicle.
Air Filter
Replacing the Air Cleaner
See the "Maintenance Plan" for the
correct servicing intervals. It is advised to
replace it with a genuine spare part,
specifically designed for this vehicle.
Air Conditioning System Maintenance
To ensure the best possible performance,
the air conditioning system must be
checked and undergo maintenance at an
authorized dealer at the beginning of the
summer.
Caution!
Do not use chemicals to clean the air
conditioning system, since the internal
components may be damaged. This kind of
damage is not covered by warranty.
Replace The Cabin Air Filter
See the "Maintenance Plan" for the
correct servicing intervals. For cleaner
replacement, contact an authorized
dealer.
Warning!
Use only refrigerants and compressor
lubricants 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, requiring costly repairs. Refer
to Warranty Information Book, located in
your owner’s information kit, for further
warranty information.
Lubricating Moving Parts Of The
Bodywork
Ensure that the locks and bodywork
junction points, including components
such as the seat guides, door hinges (and
rollers), liftgate 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.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

STORING THE VEHICLE
If the vehicle is left inactive for longer
than a month, the following precautions
should be observed:
Park the vehicle in an area that is
covered and dry, and well-ventilated if
possible. Slightly open the windows.
Check that the electric park brake is
not activated.
Carry out the “Liftgate Emergency
Opening” procedure described in the
“Power Liftgate” section of “Getting To
Know Your Vehicle”.
Disconnect the negative battery
terminal and check the battery charge.
Repeat this check once every three
months during storage.
If the battery is not disconnected from
the electrical system, check its state of
charge every thirty days.
Clean and protect the painted parts
using protective wax.
Clean and protect the shiny metal
parts using special compounds available
commercially.
Sprinkle talcum powder on the
windshield wiper rubber blades, and lift
them off the glass.
Cover the vehicle with a fabric or
perforated plastic sheet, paying
particular care not to damage the painted
surface by dragging any dust that may have accumulated on it. Do not use
compact plastic sheets, as they do not
allow humidity to evaporate from the
surface of the vehicle.
Inflate tires to +7.25 psi (+0.5 bar)
above the standard prescribed pressure
and check it periodically.
Do not drain the engine cooling
system.
Any time the vehicle is left inactive for
two weeks or more, operate the air
conditioning system with engine idling
for at least five minutes, setting external
air and with fan set to maximum speed.
This operation will ensure appropriate
lubrication for the system, thus
minimizing the possibility of damage to
the compressor when the system is
operated again.
Note: After cycling the ignition to STOP
and having closed the driver side door,
wait at least one minute before
disconnecting the electrical supply from
the battery. When reconnecting the
electrical supply to the battery, make
sure that the ignition is in the STOP
position and the driver’s side door is
closed.
BODYWORK
Protection Against Atmospheric
Agents
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: underdoor, 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.
