following specially heavy conditions:
❒trailer or caravan towing;
❒dusty roads;
❒short distances (less than 7-8 km) and repeated
with external temperatures below zero;
❒frequently idling engines or long distance low
speed driving (e.g.: door-to-door deliveries) or in
case of a long term inactivity;
❒urban routes;carry out checks more frequently than required on
Service Schedule:
❒check front disk brake pad conditions and wear;
❒check cleanness of bonnet and boot locks and
lever cleanness and lubrication;
❒sight inspect the conditions of: engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and hoses (exhaust - fuel -
brakes), rubber parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❒check battery charge and fluid level (electrolyte);
❒visual check on various drive belt conditions;
❒check and replace pollen filter, if required;
❒check and replace air cleaner, if required.

WARNINGNever smoke while working in the engine compartment; gas and inflammable
vapours may be present, with the risk of fire.
When topping up take care not to confuse the various types of fluids: they are all incompatible
with one another and could seriously damage the car.

BRAKE FLUID
Unscrew cap (A) and check that the fluid level in the reservoir is at
maximum.
Fluid level in the reservoir shall not exceed the MAX mark.
Check that the fluid level in the reservoir is at maximum.
Top up with the brake fluid specified in the table “Fluids and lubricants”
(see section “Technical Specifications ")
When opening the cap take the utmost care to prevent impurities
entering the tank.
When topping up, always use a funnel with built-in filter with mesh equal
to or lower than 0.12 mm.
F0E00685m
Make sure that the highly corrosive brake fluid does not drip onto the paintwork; if it does, wash it
off immediately with water.
Symbol πon the container indicates synthetic brake fluid, distinguishing it from
the mineral kind. Using mineral fluids irreversibly damages the special braking
system rubber seals.WARNING
Brake fluid is poisonous and highly corrosive. In the event of accidental contact,
wash the parts involved immediately with neutral soap and water, then rinse
thoroughly. Call the doctor immediately if the fluid is swallowed.WARNING

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.
