To ensure that the vehicle is always

every 3000 km for checking and
topping up engine oil is advisable).

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING
188) Remember that the road
holding qualities of your vehicle
also depend on the correct
inflation pressure of the tyres.
189) If the pressure is too low, the
tyre will overheat and could be
seriously damaged.
190) Avoid switching the tyres from
the right side of the vehicle to the
left side and vice versa.
191) Never submit alloy rims to
repainting treatments requiring
the use of temperatures
exceeding 150°C. The mechanical
properties of the wheels could
be impaired.
RUBBER HOSESAs far as the brake system and fuel
supply system rubber hoses are
concerned, follow the "Scheduled
Servicing Plan" in this chapter carefully.
Ozone, high temperatures and
prolonged lack of fluid in the system
may cause hardening and cracking of
the hoses, with possible leaks. Careful
checking is therefore necessary.
WINDSCREEN
WIPERBLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using
special products; TUTELA
PROFESSIONAL SC 35 is
recommended.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is
deformed or worn. In any case, it is
advisable to replace them
approximately 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 glass: in
addition to protecting the blades,
this prevents effort on the motor and
overheating;
❒do not operate the windscreen and
rear window wipers on dry glass.

Replacing the
windscreen wiper
blades
53)
Proceed as follows:
❒raise the wiper arm, press tab A fig.
245 of the attachment spring and
remove the blade from the arm;
❒fit the new blade, inserting the tab
into the special slot in the arm,
making sure that it is locked;
❒lower the wiper arm on the
windscreen.SPRAY NOZZLES
Windscreen (washer)
fig. 246
If the jet of fluid is inadequate, firstly
check that there is fluid in the reservoir:
(see "Checking levels" in this chapter).
Then check that the nozzle holes are
not clogged; use a needle to unblock
them if necessary.
The washer jets should be positioned
by adjusting the angle of the sprays
using a small straight-headed
screwdriver.
The jets should be directed at about a
third of the height from the top edge
of the windscreen.HEADLIGHT WASHERS
Check the correct condition and
cleanliness of nozzles at regular
intervals.
The headlight washers come on
automatically when the windscreen
washer is operated with the low beams
on.
WARNING
192) Driving with worn windscreen
wiper blades is a serious hazard,
because visibility is reduced in
bad weather conditions.
IMPORTANT
53) Do not operate the windscreen
wiper with the blades lifted from
the windscreen.
