WINDSCREEN WIPER
BLADES
Period ically clean the rub ber part with
suitable products.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is
deformed or worn. In all cas es, it is ad-
visable to replace them approximately
once a year.
A few simple precautions can reduce the
possibility of damage to the blades:
make sure that the rubber part is not
stuck to the windscreen at sub-zero
temperatures. Use an antifreeze prod-
uct to release it if required.
remove the snow from the window:
this will avoid overstressing the elec-
trical motor in addition to protecting
the blades;
do not operate the windscreen wipers
on dry glass.
Driving with worn wiper
blades is a serious hazard,
because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.
WARNING
RUBBER HOSES
Carefully follow the information contained
in the “Service schedule” in this section
for maintenance of brake system and fuel
feed rubber hoses.
Ozone, high temperatures and prolonged
lack of fluid in the system may cause hard-
ening and cracking of the hoses, with pos-
sible leaks. Careful inspections are there-
fore necessary.Excessively low pressure will
cause overheating of the
tyre and may cause severe tyre dam-
age.
WARNING
Do not exchange the tyres
from the left to the right of
the car and vice versa.
WARNING
Do not repaint alloy wheel
rims at temperatures higher
than 150°C. The mechanical features
of the wheels could be compromised.

Normal maintenance of paintwork consists
in washing the car: the frequency depends
on the conditions and environment where
the car is used. For example, it is advisable
to wash the car more often in areas with
a high environmental pollution or on roads
sprinkled with salt.
To correctly wash the car:
remove the aerial from the roof to pre-
vent damage to it if the car is washed in
an automatic system;
wash the body using a low pressure jet
of water;
wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy so-
lution over the bodywork, frequently
rinsing with the sponge;
rinse well with water and dry with a jet
of air or a chamois leather.
Dry the parts less in sight particularly care-
ful ly, such as the door fram es and the
headlight frames, where water may stag-
nate more easily. It is a good idea to leave
the car in the open for a while after wash-
ing it to give time for the water to evap-
orate.Do not wash the car after it has been
parked in the sun or when the engine is
bonnet is hot: this could take the shine off
the paint.
Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned in
the same way as the rest of the car.
Where possible, do not park under trees;
the resinous substance many species re-
lease give the paint a dull appearance and
increase the possibility of triggering rust
processes.
IMPORTANT Bir d droppings must be
washed off immediately and thoroughly as
the acid they contain is partic ularly ag-
gressive.
Detergents cause water pollu-
tion. The car should be washed
in areas equipped for collect-
ing and purifying the liquid
used in the washing process.
Windows
Use specific window cleaner products.
Use also clean cloths to avoid scratching
the glass or damaging the transparency.
IMPORTANT The inside of the rear win-
dow should be wiped gently with a cloth
in the direction of the filaments to avoid
damaging the heating device.
Engine compartment
Wash the engine compartment carefully
after the end of the winter. Be careful not
to direct the jet of water onto electronic
control units. Adequately protect the up-
per air vents to prevent damage to the
windscreen wiper motor. Have this op-
eration performed at a specialised work-
shop.
IMPORTANT Perform this operation on
a cold engine and with the key at STOP.
After the washing operation, make sure
that the various protections (e.g. rubber
caps and guards) have not removed or
damaged.
Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic sub-
stances (e.g.: petrol) or ketenes (e.g.: ace-
tone) for cleaning front headlight plastic
lens.
