mixture of water and TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35, in the following
concentrations:
❒30% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 and 70% water in summer.
❒50% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 and 50% water in winter.
In case of temperatures below –20°C, use undiluted TUTELA
PROFESSIONAL SC 35 fluid.

WARNINGDo not travel with the windscreen washer reservoir empty. The windscreen washer
is fundamental for improving visibility.
WARNINGCertain commercial additives for windscreen washers are inflammable. The engine
compartment contains hot components which may set it on fire.

RUBBER TUBING
As far as the brake system and fuel rubber hoses are
concerned, carefully follow the Service Schedule in this
section. Indeed ozone, high temperatures and
prolonged lack of fluid in the system may cause
hardening and cracking of the hoses, with possible
leaks. Careful control is therefore necessary.
WINDSCREEN/
REAR WINDOW WIPERS
BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using special
products; TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 is
recommended.
If the rubber blades are bent or worn they should be
replaced. In any case they should be changed once a
year.
A few simple notions can reduce the possibility of
damage to the blades:
❒if the temperature fall below zero, make sure that
ice has not frozen the rubber against glass. If
necessary, thaw using an antifreeze product;
❒remove any snow from the glass: in addition to
protecting the blades, this prevents effort on the
motor and overheating;
❒do not operate the windscreen and rear window
wipers on dry glass.
WARNINGDriving with worn wiper blades is a serious hazard, because visibility is reduced in
bad weather.

Changing the windscreen wiper blades
On certain versions, to remove the blade proceed as follows:
❒Raise the windscreen wiper arm and position the blade so that it
forms an angle of 90° with the arm;
❒press tabs (A) (set aside the blade) and remove the blade from the
arm;
❒Fit the new blade by inserting it into the special slot in the arm. Make
sure it is properly locked into place.
Changing the rear window blade
❒Lift the cover (C).
❒Loosen screw (D).
❒Remove the blade to be replaced and fit the new blade, making sure
that during operation it reaches the lower edge of the window.

SPRAY NOZZLES
If there is no jet of fluid, first make sure there is fluid in the reservoir: see
“Checking fluids” in this section.
Then check that the nozzle holes are not clogged, if necessary use a
needle.
The windscreen jets are directed by adjusting the angle of the nozzles.
Fluid jets shall be directed at about 250 mm from the window upper
edge.
Rear window wiper nozzle holder is set at the base of the rear window
wiper. Nozzles are fixed and cannot be adjusted.

Windows
Use specific window cleaner products to clean cloths
to avoid scratching the glass or damaging the
transparency.
IMPORTANT The inside of the rear window should
be wiped gently with a cloth in the direction of the
filaments to avoid damaging the heating device.
Engine compartment
At the end of the winter the engine compartment
should be carefully washed, without directing the jet
against electronic control units. Contact a specialised
workshop to have this done.
IMPORTANT Wash with the engine cold and the
ignition key at STOP. After washing make sure that the
various protections (e.g. rubber caps and various
covers) have not been damaged or removed.
Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g.:
petrol) or ketones (e.g.: acetone) for cleaning front
headlight plastic lens.
IMPORTANT Wash with the engine cold and the
ignition key at STOP. After washing make sure that the
various protections (e.g. rubber caps and various
covers) have not been damaged or removed.INTERIORS
Periodically check that water is not trapped under the
mats (due to water dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.)
which could cause oxidisation of the sheet metal.
CLEANING SEATS AND FABRIC/JERSEY
UPHOLSTERY
❒Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to remove dust.
❒Rub the seats with a sponge moistened with a
solution of water and neutral detergent.
PLASTIC PARTS INSIDE THE CAR
Clean the plastic parts inside the car with a cloth
moistened with a solution of water and non-abrasive
neutral detergent. To remove grease or hard stains,
use special solvent-free products designed not to alter
the appearance and colour of components.
IMPORTANT Do not use alcohol or petrol to clean
the instrument panel.
Detergents cause water pollution.
Therefore the engine compartment should
be washed in areas equipped for
collecting and purifying the liquid used in
the washing process.
