CONTAINING RUNNING COSTS
Here are some suggestions which may help you to keep
the running costs of your vehicle down and lower the
amount of toxic emissions released into the
atmosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Vehicle maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in accordance
with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Tyres
Check the pressure of the tyres routinely at an interval
of no more than 4 weeks: if the pressure is too low,
consumption levels increase as resistance to rolling is
higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight of
the vehicle (especially when driving in town) and its
geometry greatly affect fuel consumption and stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof
after use. These accessories decrease aerodynamic
penetration of the vehicle and have a negative effect on
fuel consumption. It is better to use a trailer, particularly
for transporting bulky objects. In addition to these general precautions, some simple
precautions can improve driving safety, travelling
comfort and vehicle durability:
❒distribute the load evenly over the floor: if it is
necessary to concentrate it in a single area, choose
an area mid-way between both axles;
❒remember that the lower the load, the lower the
vehicle’s centre of gravity, making for a safer drive:
therefore always position the heaviest goods lower
down;
❒lastly, remember that the vehicle’s dynamic
behaviour is affected by the weight transported:
in particular, the stopping distances are longer,
especially at high speed.
If you wish to carry petrol in a reserve
tank, observe the legal restrictions and
only use a tank that is type approved and
properly secured to the load anchorage
eyebolts. However, the risk of fire in the event
of an accident increases.

❒wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy solution over the
bodywork, frequently rinsing the sponge;
❒rinse well with water and dry with a jet of air or
a chamois leather.
Dry the less visible parts particularly carefully, such as
the door frames, bonnet and the headlight frames,
where water may stagnate more easily. It is a good idea
to leave the vehicle outdoors for a while after washing it
to give the water time to evaporate.
Do not wash the vehicle after it has been left in the sun
or with the bonnet hot: this may alter the shine of the
paintwork.
Exterior plastic parts should be cleaned in the same way
as the rest of the vehicle.
Where possible, do not park the vehicle under trees;
the resinous substances released by many species give
the paint a dull appearance and increase the possibility
of rust.
To protect the paint more effectively, polish
occasionally with special protective waxes; when the
paint tends to cloud because of a build-up of smog,
polish with slightly abrasive protective waxes.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be washed off
immediately and carefully as the acid they contain is
particularly aggressive. VEHICLE BODY AND UNDERBODY
WARRANTY
Your vehicle is covered by warranty against perforation
due to rust of any original element of the structure or
body.
For the general terms of this warranty, refer to the
Warranty Booklet.
ADVICE FOR PRESERVING THE BODYWORK
Paint
Paintwork does not only serve an aesthetic purpose, but
also protects the underlying sheet metal. Touch up
abrasions and scratches immediately to prevent rust
formation. Use only original paint products for touch-
ups (see “Bodywork paint identification plate” in the
“Technical specifications” section). Normal maintenance
of paintwork consists in washing the car: the frequency
depends on the conditions and environment where the
car is used. For example, it is advisable to wash the
vehicle more often in areas with high levels of
environmental pollution or on roads spread with salt.
To correctly wash the vehicle proceed as follows:
❒remove the aerial from the roof to prevent damage
to it if the vehicle is washed in an automatic system;
❒wash the body using a low pressure jet of water;
