cal windows can be danger-
ous. Before and during their oper-
ation ensure that any passengers in

jects getting caught in the mecha-
nism or by being injured by it di-
rectly.
WARNING
Always remove the ignition
key when you get out of the
vehicle to prevent the electric win-
dows being operated accidentally
and constituting a danger to the
people left in the vehicle

134GETTING THE BEST OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE
VEHICLE STORAGE
The following precautions should be
taken if the vehicle will not be used for
several months:
– park the vehicle in covered, dry and
if possible well-ventilated premises;
– engage a gear;
– remove the cables from the battery
(first remove the cable to the negative
terminal) and check the battery
charge. If the vehicle is to be stored
for long periods the charge of the bat-
tery should be checked every month
and recharged if it falls below 12.5 V;– make sure the handbrake is not en-
gaged;
– clean and protect the painted parts
using protective wax;
– clean and protect the shiny metal
parts using special compounds readi-
ly available;
– sprinkle talcum powder on the rub-
ber windscreen and rear window
wiper blades and lift them off the glass;
– slightly open the windows;
– cover the vehicle with a cloth or
perforated plastic sheet. Do not use
sheets of non-perforated plastic as
they do not allow moisture on the ve-
hicle body to evaporate;– inflate the tyres to 0.5 bar above
the normal specified pressure and
check it at intervals;
– do not drain the engine cooling sys-
tem.
IMPORTANTWhere relevant,
switch off the electronic vehicle alarm
with the remote control and deacti-
vate the system by turning the emer-
gency key to OFF (see “Electronic
alarm” in section “Getting to know
your vehicle”).

160IN AN EMERGENCY
IF AN ACCIDENT
OCCURS
– It is important to keep calm.
– If you are not directly involved in
the accident, stop at least ten metres
away from the accident.
– If you are on a motorway, do not
obstruct the emergency lane with
your vehicle.
– Turn the engine off and the haz-
ard lights on.
– At night, illuminate the scene of the
accident with your headlights.
– Act carefully, you must not risk be-
ing run over.
– Mark the accident by putting the
red triangle at the regulatory distance
from the vehicle where it can be clear-
ly see.
– If the doors are blocked, do not at-
tempt to smash the windscreen to get
out of the vehicle. It is made of layered
glass and is very hard. Side and rear
windows are much more easily bro-
ken. VEHICLE WITH AUTOMATIC
GEARBOX
If towing is not due to gearbox faults,
proceed as follows:
– gearshift lever to N;
– do not exceed 50 km/h;
– the vehicle should not be towed
for more than 200 km.
If towing is due to gearbox faults or
the vehicle should be towed for more
than 200 km, tow the vehicle raising
the front wheels from the ground.– Call for rescue making the infor-
mation you give as accurate as you
can.On the motorway use the special
column-mounted emergency phones.
– In pile-ups on the motorway, par-
ticularly when the visibility is bad,
there is a high risk of other vehicles
running into those already
stopped.Get out of the vehicle imme-
diately and take refuge behind the
guard rail.
– Remove the ignition keys from the
vehicles involved.
– If you can smell petrol or other
chemicals, do not smoke and make
sure all cigarettes are extinguished.
– Use a fire extinguisher, blanket, sand
or earth to put out fires no matter how
small they are. Never use water.
When towing the vehicle
you must comply with the
specific traffic regulations regard-
ing the tow hitch and how to tow
on the road.

trips, check and top up as necessary:
– engine coolant level
– brake fluid level
– power steering fluid level
– battery electrolyte level
– windscreen washer fluid
– tyre pressure and conditions.
Every 3,000 km or before long
trips, check and top up as necessary:
engine oil
Every 10,000 kmor at cwarning

180VEHICLE MAINTENANCE
WINDSCREEN
WIPER
BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part
with suitable products. We recom-
mend TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC35.
Change the blades if the rubber edge
is warped or worn out. You should in
any case change them approximately
once a year.Changing the windscreen
wiper blade
1)Lift windscreen wiper arm A-
fig. 18off the glass and position the
blade so as to form a right angle with
the arm.
2) Press tab Bon the retainer and
remove the blade to be replaced from
arm A .
3)Fit the new blade by inserting the
tab into the special slot in the arm.
Make sure it is properly locked into
place.
fig. 18
F0D0123m
Some simple steps can reduce po-
tential damage to the blades:
– if the temperature falls to below
zero, make sure the rubber blade is
not frozen to the windscreen. If nec-
essary, free it with a de-icing com-
pound;
– remove any snow that has settled
on the glass: besides saving the blades
you will avoid straining the electric
windscreen wiper motor and causing
it to overheat;
– do not operate the windscreen or
rear window wipers on dry glass.
Travelling with worn wiper
blades is dangerous be-
cause it reduces visibility in bad
weather.
WARNING

183VEHICLE MAINTENANCE
Do not wash the vehicle after it has
been parked in the sun or while the
bonnet is hot: it could take the shine
off the paint.
Outside plastic parts must be
cleaned following the usual vehicle
washing procedure.
Where possible avoid parking the
vehicle under trees; the resinous sub-
stances that certain species of tree
shed dull the paintwork and increase
the possibility of rust forming.To better protect the paintwork,
polish with protective wax from time
to time, that leaves a protective layer
on the paintwork.
When the paintwork tends to lose
its shine because of the build-up of
smog, use a wax (polish) which has a
slightly abrasive as well as protective
action.
Front headlights
IMPORTANTNever use aromat-
ic substances (e.g.: petrol) or ketones
(e.g.: acetone) for cleaning front head-
light plastic lens.
Windows
Use specific window cleaners to
clean the windows. Use very clean
cloths to avoid scratching the glass or
damaging its transparency.
IMPORTANTTo prevent damage
to the electric heater element, wipe
the inside of the heated rear window
(where fitted) gently in the same di-
rection as the elements.Engine compartment
At the end of each winter season,
carefully clean the engine compart-
ment. Have this done at a garage.
IMPORTANTThe engine com-
partment should be washed while the
engine is cold and with the ignition key
at STOP. After washing, make sure
that the various protections (e.g. rub-
ber boots and various guards) have
not be removed or damaged.
Detergents pollute wa-
ter. For this reason, the
vehicle must be washed
in an area equipped for the col-
lection and purification of the liq-
uids used while washing.
IMPORTANTBird droppings
must be washed off immediately and
with great care as their acid is partic-
ularly aggressive.
Detergents pollute wa-
ter. The vehicle must
therefore be washed in an
area equipped for the collection
and purification of the liquids
used while washing.
