WIPERS
BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using
special products TUTELA PROFES-
SIONAL SC 35is recommended.
If the rubber blades are bent or worn
they should be replaced. In any case
they should be changed once a year.
RUBBER HOSES
As far as the brake system and fuel rub-
ber hoses are concerned, carefully fol-
low 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.
Driving with worn
wiper blades is a seri-
ous hazard, because visibility
is reduced in bad weather.
WARNING
A few simple notions can reduce the pos-
sibility of damage to the blades:
❒if the temperature falls below zero,
make sure that ice has not frozen
the rubber against glass. If neces-
sary, thaw using an antifreeze prod-
uct;
❒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
wipers on dry glass.

CORRECT USE
OF THE CAR
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.
IMPORTANTBird droppings must be
washed off immediately and thorough-
ly as the acid they contain is particular-
ly aggressive.Front headlights
Front headlights shall be washed with
soft cloth moistened with water and car
detergent.
IMPORTANT Cleaning headlight lens-
es with a dry cloth will damage the
headlights with lack of performance as
a consequence. Solvents mat the lens-
es with lack of performance as a con-
sequence.
IMPORTANTWhen washing front
headlights using a water nozzle, keep
the water jet at 2 cm at least from lens-
es. Windows
Use specific window cleaner products.
Use also clean cloths to avoid scratching
the glass or damaging the transparen-
cy.
IMPORTANTThe inside of the
rearscreen should be wiped gently with
a cloth in the direction of the filaments
to avoid damaging the heating device.
