the other 4 bolts;
❒tighten the retaining bolts using wrench A fig. 123;

If the pressure is too low the tyre overheats and can be
seriously damaged.Do not cross switch the tyres, moving them from the
right of the car to the left and vice versa.Never submit alloy rims to repainting treatments
requiring the use of temperatures exceeding 150°C.
The mechanical properties of the wheels could be
impaired.
WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW
WIPERBLADESWe recommend replacing the blades once a year.
A few simple precautions can reduce the possibility of damage to the
blades:
❒if the temperature falls below zero, make sure that ice has not frozen
the rubber against the glass. Use a de-icing product to release it if
required;
❒remove any snow from the window;
❒do not operate the windscreen/rear window wipers on dry glass.
Driving with worn windscreen/rear window wiper
blades is a serious hazard, because visibility is reduced
in bad weather.
