CAR INACTIVITYIf the car is to be left inactive for longer than a
month, the following precautions should be
observed:
❒park the car in covered, dry and if possible
well-ventilated premises and slightly open
the windows;
❒ engage a gear and disengage the handbrake;
❒ disconnect the negative battery terminal and check
charge (see paragraph “Battery - Charge and
electrolyte level check” in chapter “Maintenance
and care”);
❒ clean and protect the painted parts using
protective wax;
❒ clean and protect the shiny metal parts using
special compounds available commercially;
❒ sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber windscreen
and rear window wiper blades and lift them off the
glass; ❒
cover the car with a cloth or perforated plastic
sheet. Do not use sheets of non-perforated plastic
as they do not allow moisture on the car body
to evaporate;
❒ inflate tyres to +0.5 bar above the standard
specified pressure and check it at intervals;
❒ do not drain the engine cooling system.
IMPORTANT Where relevant, switch off the car
alarm with the remote control.

WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW
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
an antifreeze 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/rear window
wipers on dry glass.
WARNING
Driving with worn windscreen/rear
window wiper blades is a serious hazard,
because visibility is reduced in bad weather.
