PERIODIC CHECKSEvery 1,000 km or before long journeys, check and, if nec-
essary, top up the following:
❍engine coolant fluid level;
❍brake fluid level;
❍windscreen washer fluid level;
❍tyre pressure and condition;
❍operation of lighting system (headlights, direction in-
dicators, hazard warning lights, etc.);
❍operation of the windscreen/rear window wiper/wash-
er system, position and wear of windscreen/rear win-
dow wiper blades;
Every 3,000 km check and top up if required: engine oil
level.
DEMANDING USE OF THE CARShould the prevailing use of the car be under one of the
following specially demanding conditions:

RUBBER HOSESAs far as the brake system and fuel supply system rub-
ber hoses are concerned, follow the “Scheduled Servic-
ing 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 neces-
sary.
WINDSCREEN/
REAR WINDOW WIPERBLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using special products;
TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC35 is recommended.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is deformed or worn.
In any case, it is advisable to replace them approximate-
ly once a year.
A few simple precautions can reduce the possibility of
damage to the blades:
❍make sure that the rubber part is not frozen to the
windscreen in case of sub-zero temperatures. Use a de-
icing product to release it if required;
❍remove any snow from the glass: in addition to pro-
tecting the blades, this prevents effort from the motor
and overheating;
❍do not operate the windscreen and the rear window
wipers on dry glass.
Driving with worn windscreen wiper blades
is a serious hazard, because visibility is re-
duced in bad weather conditions.
