Modifications or repair of the electrical
system performed incorrectly and without

STORING THE
VEHICLE
If the vehicle is left inactive for longer
than a month, the following precautions
should be observed:
Park the vehicle in covered, dry and if
possible well-ventilated premises and
slightly open the windows.
Check that the parking brake is not
activated.
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 and rear window 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
which do not allow humidity to
evaporate from the surface of the
vehicle.
Inflate the tires at a pressure of
+7.25 psi (+0.5 bar) higher than
recommended on the tire placard 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 placing the ignition in the
OFF mode 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 in
the OFF mode and the driver side door
is closed.
BODYWORK
Protection From
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 fender, edges,
etc.
Use of “open” boxed sections to
prevent condensation and pockets of
moisture which could favour the
formation of rust inside.
Use of special films to protect
against abrasion in exposed areas (e.g.
rear fender, 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 Corrosion Warranty, refer to the
Warranty Booklet.

SUGGESTIONS FOR
OBTAINING SERVICE
FOR YOUR VEHICLE
Prepare For The
Appointment
If you are having warranty work done,
be sure to have the right papers with
you. Take your warranty folder. All work
to be performed may not be covered by
the warranty. Discuss additional
charges with the service manager. Keep
a maintenance log of your vehicle's
service history. This can often provide a
clue to the current problem.
Prepare A List
Make a written list of your vehicle's
problems or the specific work you want
done. If you've had an accident or work
done that is not on your maintenance
log, let the service advisor know.
Be Reasonable With
Requests
If you list a number of items and you
must have your vehicle by the end of
the day, discuss the situation with the
service advisor and list the items in
order of priority. At many authorized
dealers, you may obtain a rental vehicle
at a minimal daily charge. If you need a
rental, it is advisable to make these
arrangements when you call for an
appointment.

dealer are vitally interested in your

process.

satisfied, talk to the general manager or
owner of the authorized dealer. They
want to know if you need assistance.
If an authorized dealer is unable to
resolve the concern, you may contact
