a mixture of water and TUTELA PRO-
FESSIONAL SC 35, in the following

Do not travel with the wind-
screen washer reservoir emp-
ty. The windscreen washer is funda-
mental for improving visibility.
WARNING
Certain commercial addi-
tives for windscreen washers
are inflammable. The engine com-
partment contains hot components
which may set it on fire.
WARNINGIn case of temperatures below –20°C, use
undiluted TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC 35 fluid.
Check level through the reservoir.
For versions fitted with headlight wash-
er, remove the filter and the relevant dip-
stick. Use the dipstick to check the fluid
level inside the reservoir.

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.
A few simple notions can reduce the pos-
sibility 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 ad-
dition to protecting the blades, this pre-
vents effort on the motor and over-
heating;
❒do not operate the windscreen and
rear window wipers on dry glass.Changing the windscreen
wiper blades
Proceed as follows:
❒raise the windscreen wiper arm A-fig.
22and position the blade so that it
forms an angle of 90° with the arm;
❒press tab Bof the coupling spring and
remove the blade to be replaced from
the arm A;
❒fit the new blade by inserting the tab in-
to the special slot in the arm. Make sure
it is properly locked into place.For certain versions, to replace the blades
proceed as follows:
❒raise the windscreen wiper arm and po-
sition the blade so that it forms an an-
gle of 90° with the arm;
❒press tabs A-fig. 23(set aside the
blade) and remove the blade to be re-
placed from the arm;
❒fit the new blade and check it is prop-
erly locked into place.
Driving with worn wiper
blades is a serious hazard,
because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.

Changing the rear window blade
Proceed as follows:
❒raise the cover A-fig. 24and remove
the arm from the car, slackening the nut
Bthat fastens it to the pivot pin;
❒ fit the new arm, positioning it correct-
ly, and fully tighten the nut;
❒ lower the cover.SPRAY NOZZLES
Windscreen wiper fig. 25
If the jet of fluid is inadequate, firstly check
that there is fluid in the reservoir: see
“Checking fluid levels” in this section).
Then check that the nozzle holes are not
clogged, if necessary use a needle.
The windscreen jets are directed by ad-
justing the angle of the nozzles: turn the
nozzle cylinder by inserting a screwdriv-
er in A.
Fluid jets shall be directed at about 1/3
height from the window upper edge.Rear window wiper fig. 26-27
Rear window washer jets can be adjust-
ed in the same way.
The nozzle holder is on the rear window.

MAINTENANCE
To correctly wash the car:
❒ remove the aerial from the roof to pre-
vent damage to it if the car is washed in
an automatic system;
❒wash the body using a low pressure jet
of water;
❒ wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy so-
lution over the bodywork, frequently
rinsing with the sponge;
❒ rinse well with water and dry with a jet
of air or a chamois leather.
When drying, take particular care with the
less visible parts like door surrounds, bon-
net and around the headlights where wa-
ter may stagnate. The car should not be
taken to a closed area immediately, but left
in the open so that residual water can
evaporate.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.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be
washed off immediately and thoroughly as
the acid they contain is particularly ag-
gressive.Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic sub-
stances (e.g.: petrol) or ketones (e.g.: ace-
tone) for cleaning front headlight plastic
lens.
Windows
Use specific window cleaner products.
Use also clean cloths to avoid scratching
the glass or damaging the transparency.
IMPORTANT The inside of the
rearscreen 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 com-
partment should be carefully washed,
without directing the jet against electron-
ic control units. Contact a specialised
workshop to have this done.
IMPORTANT The car should be washed
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 dam-
aged or removed. Detergents cause water
pollution. Therefore the car
should be washed in areas
equipped for collecting and
purifying the liquid used in the wash-
ing process.
Do not wash the car after it has been left
in the sun or with the bonnet hot: this may
alter the shine of the paintwork.
