Check the condition of the wiper
blades. You are responsible for their
service life:
– they must remain clean: clean
the blades, windscreen and
rear screen regularly with soapy
water;
– do not use them when the wind -
screen or rear screen are dry;
– free them from the windscreen or
rear screen when they have not
been used for a long time.
In all cases, replace them as soon
as they begin to lose efficiency: ap-
proximately once a year.
Before using the rear wiper, check
that no object obstructs the travel of
the blade.
Do not use the wiper arm to open or
close the tailgate.

– Before going through a roller type car
wash, return the windscreen wiper
stalk to the Off position (refer to
the information on the “Windscreen
wash/wipe” in Section 1). Check the
mounting of external accessories,
additional lights and mirrors, and
ensure that the wiper blades are se-
cured with adhesive tape.
Remove the radio aerial mast if your
vehicle is fitted with this equipment.
Remember to remove the tape and
refit the antenna after washing.
– Spray mechanical components,
hinges, etc., with products approved
by our Technical Department to
protect them after they have been
cleaned.

tances when driving on gravelled
surfaces to prevent paint damage.
– Repair, or have repaired quickly,
areas where the paint has been
damaged, to prevent corrosion
spreading.
– Remember to visit the body shop
periodically if your vehicle has an
anti-corrosion warranty. Refer to the
Maintenance Service Booklet.
– Respect local regulations about
washing vehicles (e.g. do not wash
your vehicle on a public highway).you should
– Wash your car frequently, with the
engine off , with cleaning products
recommended by our Technical
Department (never use abrasive
products) and be sure to jet-rinse off:
– spots of tree resin and industrial
grime;
– bird droppings, which cause a
chemical reaction with the paint
that rapidly discolours paint -
work and may even cause the
paint to peel off;
Wash the vehicle immediately
to remove these marks since it
is impossible to remove them by
polishing;
– salt, particularly in the wheel
arches and underneath the body
after driving in areas where the
roads have been gritted;
– mud in the wheel arches and un-
derneath the body which form
damp patches.
