RUBBER TUBES
As far as the brake system and fuel rubber hoses are con-
cerned, stick closely to the “Scheduled Servicing Plan” in
this section.
Ozone, high temperatures and a prolonged lack of fluid
in the system may cause hardening and cracking of the
tubes, which could result in leaks. Careful inspections are
therefore necessary.
WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW
WIPERS
(for versions/markets where provided)
BLADES
Regularly clean the rubber part using appropriate
products; TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 is recom-
mended.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is deformed or worn.
In any event, it is advisable to replace them approximate-
ly once a year.
A few simple precautions can reduce the possibility of dam-
age to the blades:
❒ make sure that the rubber part is not frozen to the wind-
screen in sub-zero temperatures. Use an antifreeze
product to release it if required;
❒ remove any snow from the glass: in addition to pro-
tecting the blades, this prevents the electric motor from
overheating;
❒ do not operate the windscreen and the rear window
wipers on dry glass.
Driving with worn wiper blades is a serious
hazard, because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.
