CAR INACTIVITY
If the car is to be left inactive for longer
than a month, the following precautions
should be noted:
❒ park the car in covered, dry and if pos-
sible well-ventilated premises;
❒ engage a gear;
❒ check that the handbrake is not en-
gaged;
❒disconnect the battery negative termi-
nal and check the battery charge. This
check is to be repeated every three
months. Recharge if the optical indica-
tor shows a dark colour without the
central green area;
❒ clean and protect the painted parts us-
ing protective wax;
❒clean and protect the shiny metal parts
using special compounds readily avail-
able;
❒ 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 cloth or perforat-
ed plastic sheet. Do not use sheets of
non-perforated plastic as they do not
allow moisture on the car body to
evaporate;
❒inflate tyres to +0.5 bar above the nor-
mal specified pressure and check it at
intervals;
❒ if you don’t disconnect the battery from
the electric system, check its charge
every month and recharge it if the op-
tical indicator shows a dark colour
without the central green area;
❒ do not drain the engine cooling system.
IMPORTANT Where relevant, switch off
the car alarm with the remote control.
Keep your speed down when
snow chains are fitted. Do
not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid
potholes, steps and pave-
ments and avoid also to dri-
ve for long distances on
roads not covered with snow to pre-
vent damaging the car and the
roadbed.
WARNING
Tyres 195/55 R16 87H and
205/45 R17 88V cannot be
