Before towing, turn the key

without extracting it. The steering
column will automatically lock when
the key is removed and the wheels
cannot be steered.
WARNING
The power brakes and pow-
er steering will not work while
the car is being towed. More effort on
the brake pedal and steering wheel will
therefore be required. Do not use flex-
ible cables when towing and avoid
jerky movements. Make sure not to
damage parts in contact with the car
while towing. Respect the specific rules
of the Highway Code when towing the
car specifically in relation to the tow-
ing device and the behaviour to main-
tain on the road.
WARNING
Do not start the engine while
towing the car.

MAINTENANCE
AND CARE
RUBBER HOSES
Carefully follow the information contained
in the “Service schedule” in this section
for maintenance of brake system and fuel
feed rubber hoses.
Ozone, high temperatures and prolonged
lack of fluid in the system may cause hard-
ening and cracking of the hoses, with pos-
sible leaks. Careful inspections are there-
fore necessary.
WINDSCREEN/REAR
WINDOW
WIPER/WASHER
BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using
special products; TUTELA PROFES-
SIONAL SC 35is recommended.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is
deformed or worn. In all cases, it is ad-
visable 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 prod-
uct to release it if required;
❒remove the snow from the window:
this will avoid overstressing the elec-
trical motor and causing it to overheat
in addition to protecting the blades;
❒do not operate the windscreen and
rear window wipers on dry glass.
Driving with worn wiper
blades is a serious hazard,
because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.
WARNING
Replacing the windscreen wiper
blades fig. 16
Proceed as follows:
❒lift the arm Aof the wiper and posi-
tion the blade so that it forms an an-
gle of 90° with the arm itself;
❒press the tab Bon the clip and extract
the blade from the arm A;
❒fit the new blade, inserting the tab in
the specific set on the arm. Make sure
that it is locked.

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 met-
al.
CLEANING SEATS AND FABRIC
PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacu-
um 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 de-
tergent.
LEATHER SEATS
Remove dry dirt with a moist chamois
leather or cloth without pressing too hard.
Remove stains of liquid or grease with a
dry absorbing cloth. Do not rub. Then
wipe with a soft cloth or chamois leather
dipped in water and mild soap.
Use specific products for persistent stains
paying attention to instructions for use.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol. Make
sure that the products used do not con-
tain alcohol or derivates, even in low con-
centrations. 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 clean-
ing plastic, without solvents and specifically
designed to prevent damage to the ap-
pearance and colour of the treated parts
to remove grease and tough stains.
IMPORTANT Never use spirit or petro-
leum to clean the instrument panel trans-
parent cover or other plastic parts.
Do not keep aerosol cans in
the car: risk of explosion.
Aerosol cans must not be exposed to
a temperature exceeding 50°C. When
the vehicle is exposed to sunlight, in-
ner temperature can greatly exceed
this value.
WARNING
The fabric upholstery of your
car is designed to withstand
the normal wear and tear of
your car for a long time.
Some precautions are however need-
ed. Avoid prolonged rubbing against
clothing accessories, such as metal
buckles, Velcro strips and the like,
which by applying a high pressure on
the fabric in a small area could cause
the breakage of some threads and
damage the upholstery.
LEATHER STEERING
WHEEL/GEAR KNOB
These components must be cleaned with
mild soap and water only. Never use spir-
it and/or alcohol based products. Read
the product label carefully before using
specific products for cleaning the interi-
ors: make sure the product does not con-
tain alcohol or alcohol based substances.
If window cleaner accidentally drips onto
the steering wheel or gear lever knob,
wipe away immediately and then wash the
concerned area with mild soap and water.
IMPORTANT Be careful when arranging
a steering wheel lock device, where ap-
plicable, to prevent damaging the leather
upholstery by rubbing.
