❒cover the vehicle with a piece of fabric or perforated
plastic sheet. Do not use compact plastic tarpaulins,
which prevent humidity from evaporating from the
surface of the vehicle;
❒inflate tyres to a pressure of +0.5 bar above the
normal specified pressure and check it at intervals;
❒if you don’t disconnect the battery from the electric
system, check its charge every month and recharge it
if the optical indicator shows a dark colour without
the central green area;
❒do not drain the engine cooling system.
IMPORTANT If the vehicle is equipped with an alarm
system, switch off the vehicle alarm with the remote
control.
LONG VEHICLE INACTIVITY
If the vehicle needs to be off the road for longer than
one month, the following precautions must be taken:
❒park the vehicle indoors in a dry and, possibly, well-
ventilated place;
❒engage a gear;
❒check that the handbrake is not engaged;
❒disconnect the negative battery terminal and check
battery charge. Repeat this check once every three
months during storage. Recharge if the optical
indicator shows a dark colour without the central
green area (see “Battery recharging” in the section
“Dashboard and controls”); If the vehicle is equipped
with a battery disconnection function (disconnector),
see the description of the procedure in the
“Controls” paragraph in the “Dashboard and
controls” section;
❒clean and protect the painted parts using protective
wax;
❒clean and protect the shiny metal parts using special
commercially-available compounds;
❒sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber windscreen
and rear window wiper blades and lift them off
the glass;
❒slightly open the windows;

Automatic FIX&GO QUICK TYRE
REPAIR KIT
(for versions/markets where provided)
The automatic tyre Fix & Go repair kit is positioned at
the front of the vehicle passenger compartment and
includes:
❒cylinder A containing sealer and fitted with:
– a transparent filler pipe B;
– a black pressure restoring pipe E;
– an adhesive label C with the message “max.
80 km/h” to be applied in a position clearly visible
by the driver (on the dashboard) after repairing
the tyre;
❒instruction brochure (see fig. 171), to be used for
prompt and proper use of the quick repair kit and
then to be handed to the personnel charged with
handling the treated tyre;
Each time the spare wheel is moved,
check that it is correctly positioned in its
housing under the floor. If it is not correctly
positioned, this could adversely affect safety.
WARNING
❒introduce the supplied wrench C-fig. 162 with the
suitable extension B-fig. 161 on the screw A-fig. 161
of the spare wheel housing manoeuvring device and
turn clockwise 2 to lift the spare wheel back up until
it is fully supported in its housing beneath the floor
pan, checking that the attachment reference
D-fig. 162 appears in the window on the device.
❒Check the correct position of the replaced wheel
under the floor (the lifting system is supplied with
a clutch to limit the end of the stroke). Incorrect
positioning may jeopardise safety.
❒place the removal spanner back in the tool box;
❒place the tool box in its housing under the passenger

DEMANDING VEHICLE USE
If the vehicle is mostly used in one of the following
conditions:
❒trailer or caravan towing;
❒dusty roads;
❒short distances (less than 7-8 km) and with external
temperatures below zero;
❒frequently idling engine or long distance low speed
driving or in the case of long term inactivity;
the following checks must be carried out more often
than indicated in the Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❒check front disc brake pad conditions and wear;
❒check cleanliness of bonnet and boot locks and lever
cleanliness and lubrication;
❒visually inspect the conditions of: engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and tubes (exhaust – fuel
– brakes), rubber parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❒check battery charge and liquid level (electrolyte);
❒visual check on various drive belt conditions;
❒check and if necessary change engine oil and oil filter.
PERIODIC CHECKS
Before long journeys, check and, if necessary, restore:
❒engine coolant fluid level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒windscreen washer fluid level;
❒tyre pressure and conditions;
❒operation of lights (headlights, direction indicators,
hazard lights, etc.);
❒operation of the windscreen wiper/washer system,
position and wear of the windscreen and rear
window wiper blades.
To ensure that the vehicle is always efficient and well
