IN AN EMERGENCY
182
IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS
– It is important to keep calm.
– If you are not directly involved in
the accident, stop at least ten meters
away from the accident.
– If you are on a motorway do not
obstruct the emergency lane with
your car.
– Turn off the engine and turn on the
hazard lights.
– At night, illuminate the scene of the
accident with your headlights.
– Act carefully, you must not risk be-
ing run over.
– Mark the accident by putting the
red triangle at the regulatory distance
from the car where it can be clearly
seen.
– Call for rescue making the infor-
mation you give as accurate as you can.
One the motorway use the special col-
umn-mounted emergency phones.– In pile-ups on the motorway, par-
ticularly when visibility is bad, there is
a high risk of other vehicles running in-
to those already stopped. Get out of
the car immediately and take refuge
behind the guard-rail.
– Remove the ignition keys from the
vehicles involved.
– If you can smell petrol or other
chemicals, do not smoke and make
sure all cigarettes are extinguished.
– Use a fire extinguisher, blanket, sand
or earth to put out fires no matter how
small they are. Never use water.
– If the doors are blocked, do not at-
tempt to smash the windscreen to get
out of the car. It is made of layered
glass and is very hard. Side and rear
window are much more easily broken.IF ANYONE IS INJURED
– Never leave the injured person
alone. The obligation to provide as-
sistance exists even for those not di-
rectly involved in the accident.
– Do not congregate around the in-
jured person.
– Reassure the injured person that
help is on its way and will arrive soon.
Stay close by to calm him/her down in
case of panic.
– Unfasten or cut seat belts holding
injured parties.
– Do not give an injured person any-
thing to drink.
– Do not move an injured person un-
less the following situations arise.
– Pull the injured person from the
car only if it risks catching fire, it is
sinking in water or is likely to fall over
a cliff or similar. Do not pull his/her
arms or legs, do not bend the head
and, as far as possible, keep the body
horizontal.

These devices will, in fact, run off the
battery even when the key is not in-
serted (car parked) and can deploy the
battery.
The total intake of these systems
(factory and after-market) must be less
than a 0.6 mA x Ah (of the battery), as
shown in the following table:
Battery:
50 Ah
60 Ah
70 AhMaximum
admitted
stand-by intake:
30 mA
36 mA
42 mA
Furthermore, remember that high in-
take electric devices (such as baby bot-
tle warmers, vacuum cleaners, cellular
phones, mini-fridges, etc.) powered
when the engine is off can deploy the
battery.
IMPORTANTIf you need to fit ad-
ditional systems in the car, remember
that improper wiring connections, in
particular if they affect safety devices,
are dangerous.ELECTRONIC
CONTROL UNITS
When the car is being used normal-
ly, special measures are not necessary.
The following instructions must be
followed very carefully, however, if
you work on the electrical system or
in cases where emergency starting is
necessary:
– never disconnect the battery from
the electrical system while the engine
is running.
– disconnect the battery from the
electrical system if you are recharg-
ing it.
– never perform emergency start-
ups with a battery charger. Always use
an auxiliary battery.
– be particularly careful when con-
necting the battery to the electrical
system. Make sure that the polarity is
correct and that the connection is ef-
ficient.
– before connecting/disconnecting
the electronic unit terminals make
sure the ignition key.

Some simple steps can reduce po-
tential damage to the blades:
– if the temperature falls to below
zero, make sure the rubber blade is
not frozen to the windscreen. If nec-
essary, free it with a de-icing com-
pound;
– remove any snow that has settled
on the glass: besides saving the blades
you will avoid straining the electric
windscreen wiper motor and causing
it to overheat;
– do not operate the windscreen or
rear window wipers on dry glass.Changing the windscreen wiper
blade fig. 14-15
Proceed as follows:
– with the ignition key at Sor re-
moved, turn the right-hand stalk down
(impulse) within 60 seconds, so the
windscreen wipers Awill stop in ver-
tical position;
– remove nozzle Bpressure fitted in
the blade;
– lift the windscreen wiper arm C,
keep it in that position and position
the blade to make it form a 90° angle
with the arm itself;
– press the retainer tab Dand, at the
same time, push the blade downwards
until the arm Cis released from the
blade;– refit a new blade, inserting it on the
arm and pushing it upwards, until tab
D clicks;
– make sure the blade is fastened.
Keep the windscreen
arm lifted during the
blade replacement to
avoid damaging the windscreen.
After changing the blade, guide
the arm to its correct position on
the windscreen.

Windows
Use specific window cleaners to
clean the windows. Use very clean
cloths to avoid scratching the glass or
damaging the transparency.
IMPORTANT To prevent damage
to the electric heater element, wipe
the inside of the heated rear window
gently in the same direction as the el-
ements.
Engine compartment
At the end of each winter season,
carefully clean the engine compart-
ment. Have this done at a garage.IMPORTANTThe engine com-
partment should be washed while the
engine is cold and with the ignition key
at S. After washing, make sure that the
various protections (e.g. rubber boots
and various guards) have not been re-
moved or damaged.INTERIORS
From time to time check that water
has not collected under the mats
(from dripping shoes, umbrellas, etc.)
which could cause the steel to rust. Detergents pollute wa-
ter. The vehicle must
therefore be washed in an
area equipped for the collection
and purification of the liquids
used while washing.
Never use flammable
products (petroleum
ether or petrol) to clean
the inside of the vehicle. Electro-
static charges generated by rub-
bing while cleaning could cause
fires.
