WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW
WIPER/WASHERBLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using special products;
TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 is recommended.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is deformed or worn.
In all cases, it is advisable to replace them approximately once
a year.
A few simple precautions can reduce the possibility of dam-
age to the blades:❒
make sure that the rubber part is not stuck to the wind-
screen at sub-zero temperatures. Use an antifreeze
product to release it if required;
❒
remove any snow from the glass: in addition to pro-
tecting the blades, this prevents effort on the motor
and overheating;
❒
do not operate the windscreen and the rear screen
wipers on dry glass.
RUBBER HOSESAs far as the brake system and fuel rubber hoses are concerned,
follow the “Scheduled Servicing Programme” in this chapter care-
fully.
Ozone, high temperatures and prolonged lack of fluid in the sys-
tem may cause hardening and cracking of the hoses, with pos-
sible leaks. Careful control is therefore necessary.
Driving with worn wiper blades is a serious
hazard, because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.

INTERIORSRegularly check that water is not trapped under the mats
(due to water dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.), as this
would cause oxidation of the sheet metal.
Never use flammable products, such as
petrol ether or rectified petrol to clean the
car inside. The electrostatic charges which are
generated by rubbing during the cleaning opera-
tion may cause a fire.
WARNING
Do not keep aerosol bottles in the vehicle:
risk of bursting. Aerosol bottles must not
be exposed to a temperature exceeding 50 °C.
When the car is exposed to sunlight, inner tem-
perature can greatly exceed this value.
WARNING
SEATS AND FABRIC PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. It is
advisable to use a moist brush on velvet upholstery.
Rub the seats with a sponge moistened with a solution of
water and neutral detergent.
INTERIOR PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior parts with a moist cloth and
a solution of water and mild soap. Use specific products
for cleaning plastic, without solvents and specifically de-
signed to prevent damage to the appearance and colour
of the treated parts to remove grease and tough stains.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol or petroleum to clean
the instrument panel.
CLEANING SEAT PROTECTORS
In order to clean/remove stains from the
seat protectors, it is not advisable to use
alcohol or alcohol based products (e.g. solvents).
