Windscreen wipers
In order not to damage the wiper blades,
avoid using them when:
• the windscreen is dry
• the blades are stuck to the windscreen
due to freezing temperatures
• there are traces of snow on the
windscreen or the wiper arms
• there are deposits on the windscreen.
The wiper blades must be cleaned periodically
and checked for wear.
Replacing the wiper blades
• Turn on the windscreen wipers and stop
them (ignition key in position
0
) when
the blades are in a vertical position.
• Lift the arm, remove the blade and
replace it checking that it is properly
locked on the arm.
Never lift the windscreen wiper arms from the
rest position.
Windscreen wipers and washer fl uid
Periodically check that there is fl uid in the
tank.
The tank for the windscreen wipers and
washer fl uid can be accessed by lifting the
luggage compartment lid.
• Lift the cap and fi ll the tank with the
specifi ed fl uid (see the “Capacities” table
on
page 14
) until it can be seen in the
fi lling tank.
• Close the cap.
Wheels and tyres
To ensure performance, endurance and
the best tyre adjustment on the rim, it is
important to comply with the following
instructions for the fi rst 200-300 km of use
of new tyres:
• avoid sudden acceleration
• avoid sharp braking and steering
• drive at moderate speed on straight roads
and on curves.
How to use the tyres
For safe driving, it is of major importance that
the tyres be constantly maintained in good
conditions.
The infl ation pressure must correspond to
the specifi ed values and the tyres should
be checked only when they are cold. Tyre
pressure increases as the tyre temperature
progressively increases.
Never reduce the pressure if the tyres are
hot.
Insuffi cient tyre pressure can lead to
overheating, damage and even destruction
of the tyres.
Infl ating the tyres to a pressure different from
that specifi ed (see table on
page 12
) will
render the tyre pressure monitoring system
ineffi cient (where fi tted).
Violent impact against sidewalks, pot holes
in the road and other obstacles of various
types, as well driving on rough roads for
long periods of time may cause damage to
