156STARTING UP AND DRIVING
Keep your speed down when snow chains are
fitted. Do not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid potholes,
steps and pavements and avoid also driving
for long distances on roads not covered with snow
to avoid damaging the car and the roadbed.
SNOW CHAINS
The use of snow chains should be in compliance with lo-
cal regulations.
Snow chains may be applied only to the front wheel tyres
(drive wheels).
Check the tension of the chains after the first few metres
have been driven.
IMPORTANT The spare wheel cannot be fitted with snow
chains. If the front tyre has a puncture, replace a rear wheel
with the spare wheel and move the rear wheel to the front
axle. This way, having two standard size wheels on the
front axle, is it possible to fit the chains.
EXTENDED CAR INACTIVITY
If the car is to be left inactive for longer than a month, the
following precautions should be observed:
park the car in covered, dry and if possible well-ven-
tilated place;
engage a gear;
check that the handbrake is not engaged;
disconnect battery negative terminal and check the bat-
tery charge (see paragraph “Battery - Charge and elec-
trolyte level check” in chapter “5”);
clean and protect the painted parts of the vehicle with
protective wax;
clean and protect the shiny metal parts using special
compounds readily available;
sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber windscreen and
rear window wiper blades and lift them off the glass;
slightly open the windows;
cover the car with a fabric or perforated plastic sheet.
Do not use compact plastic sheets which do not allow
humidity to evaporate from the surface of the car;
inflate the tyres to a pressure of +0.5 bar above the
normal specified pressure and check the pressure at
regular intervals;
do not drain the engine cooling system.
