Replacing the windscreen wiper blades fig. 234
Proceed as follows:

that it forms an angle of 90° with the arm;
❒remove the press-fitted blade B from arm A;
❒insert the new blade making sure it is locked.

Windscreen washer fig. 235
If the jet of fluid is inadequate, firstly check that there is
fluid in the reservoir (see “Checking fluid levels” in this
section).
WINDSCREEN WIPER
BLADES
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
damage to the blades:
❒make sure that the rubber part is not stuck to the
windscreen at sub-zero temperatures. Use an
antifreeze product to release it if required;
❒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.
Driving with worn wiper blades is
a serious hazard, because visibility is
reduced in bad weather.

INTERIORS
Periodically check that water is not trapped under the
mats (due to water dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.)
which could cause oxidisation of the sheet metal.
Detergents pollute the environment.
The vehicle should be washed in areas
equipped for collecting and purifying the
liquid used in the washing process.
Glasses
To clean glasses, use specific window cleaner products.
Also use clean cloths to avoid scratching the glass or
damaging the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window inside gently with
a cloth in the direction of the filaments to avoid
damaging the heating device.
Engine compartment
Wash the engine compartment thoroughly at the end of
every winter. Be careful not to direct the jet of water
onto electronic control units. Adequately protect the
upper air vents to prevent damage to the windscreen
wiper motor. Have this operation performed at a
specialised workshop.
IMPORTANT The washing should take place with the
engine cold and the ignition key in the STOP position.
After the washing operation, make sure that the various
protections (e.g. rubber caps and guards) have not been
removed or damaged.
Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g.:
petrol) or ketones (e.g.: acetone) for cleaning the front
headlight plastic lenses.
Never use flammable products, such as
petrol, ether or rectified petrol, to clean
the vehicle interior. The electrostatic charges
which are generated by rubbing during the
cleaning operation may cause a fire.
WARNING
Do not keep aerosol cans in the vehicle:
risk of explosion Aerosol cans must not
be exposed to a temperature exceeding 50 °C.
When the vehicle is exposed to sunlight, the
internal temperature can greatly exceed this
value.
