WINDSCREEN/REAR
WINDOW WIPER
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
BLADES
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.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
SPRAY NOZZLES
If the jet is not coming out, firstly
check that there is fluid in the
windscreen/rear window reservoir
(for versions/markets where
provided) (see “Checking levels” in
this section).
Then check that the nozzle holes are
not clogged; use a needle to
unblock them if necessary.
Windscreen (washer)
The window washer nozzles are
fixed. The nozzle holders are located
under the bonnet (see fig. 218).Rear window (washer)
The rear window washer jets are
fixed. The nozzle holder is located
above the rear window.
WARNING
138) Driving with worn windscreen
wiper blades is a serious hazard,
because visibility is reduced in
bad weather conditions.
WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre,
including the space-saver wheel,
approximately every two weeks and
before long journeys: the pressure
should be checked with the tyre
rested and cold.
It is normal for the pressure to
increase when the vehicle is used;
for the correct tyre inflation pressure,
see “Wheels” in the “Technical
specifications” section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal
tyre wear fig. 219:
Anormal pressure: tread evenly worn;
Blow pressure: tread particularly worn
at the edges;
Chigh pressure: tread particularly worn
in the centre.

RUBBER HOSES
As far as the maintenance of the
brake system and fuel supply
system rubber hoses is 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.
PROLONGED
VEHICLE INACTIVITY
If the vehicle needs to be off the
road for longer than one month, the
following precautions must be
taken:
❒park the vehicle indoors in a dry and,
if possible, well-ventilated place;
❒engage a gear and check that the
handbrake is not engaged;
❒disconnect the negative terminal from
the battery pole (see paragraph
“Vehicle inactivity” in the "Dashboard
and controls" chapter) and check
the charge conditions (see paragraph
“Battery” in the “Care and
maintenance” chapter);
❒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
windscreen and rear window wiper
rubber blades and lift them off the
glass;
❒slightly open the windows;❒cover the vehicle with a piece of
fabric or perforated plastic sheet. Do
not use compact plastic tarpaulins,
which prevent humidity from
evaporating from the surface of the
vehicle;
❒inflate tyres to +0.5 bar above the
standard specified pressure and
check it at intervals;
❒do not drain the engine cooling
system.
215
If you put the vehicle through a car
wash, follow these
recommendations:
– remove the aerial from the roof so
it does not get damaged;
– water added to a soapy solution
should be used for washing;
– rinse thoroughly to avoid soap
marks staying on the bodywork or
less visible parts.
39)
Dry the less visible parts with special
care, such as the door frames,
bonnet and the headlight frames,
where water may stagnate more
easily. It is a good idea to leave the
vehicle outdoors for a while after
washing it to give water time to
evaporate.
Do not wash the vehicle after it has
been left in the sun or with the
bonnet hot: this may alter the shine
of the paintwork.Exterior plastic parts should be
cleaned in the same way as the rest
of the vehicle. Where possible, do
not park the vehicle under trees; the
resinous substances released by
many species give the paint a dull
appearance and increase the
possibility of corrosion.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings should
be washed off immediately and
thoroughly as the acid they contain
is particularly aggressive.6)
Windows
To clean glasses, use specific
cleaning products. Use clean cloths
to avoid scratching the glass or
damaging the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the inside
surface of the rear window gently
with a cloth in the direction of the
filaments to avoid damaging the
heater coils.Engine compartment
At the end of each winter,
thoroughly wash the engine
compartment, taking care to avoid
spraying the water jet directly onto
the electronic control units and
the relay/fuse box on the left side of
the engine compartment (driving
direction). Have this operation
performed at a specialised
workshop.
IMPORTANT The washing should
take place with the engine cold and
the ignition key in the STOP
position. After the washing
operation, make sure that the
various protections (e.g. rubber
caps and guards) have not been
removed or damaged.
Headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic
substances (e.g. petrol) or ketones
(e.g. acetone) for cleaning the
plastic lenses of the front headlights.
217
IMPORTANT
39) Some car washes with old-style
blades and/or in a poor state of
repair can damage the paintwork,
facilitating the formation of lines
that give the paint a dull/misty
appearance, especially on dark
colours. If this happens, lightly
polish the paintwork with
appropriate products.
IMPORTANT
6) Detergents cause water pollution.
The vehicle should be washed in
areas equipped for collecting
and purifying the liquid used in
the washing process.
INTERIORS
Regularly check that water is not
trapped under the mats (due to
water dripping off shoes, umbrellas,
etc.), as this could cause oxidation
of the sheet metal.
143) 144)
SEATS AND FABRIC
PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a
vacuum cleaner. It is advisable to
use a moist brush on velvet
upholstery.
Rub the seats with a sponge
moistened with a solution of water
and mild soap.
PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior parts
with a moist cloth and a solution
of water and non-abrasive mild
soap. Use specific products for
cleaning plastic, without solvents
and specifically designed to prevent
damage to the appearance and
colour of the treated parts, to
remove grease and tough stains.IMPORTANT Do not use alcohol,
petrols or their derivatives to clean
the instrument panel glass.
LEATHER STEERING
WHEEL/GEAR
KNOB/HANDBRAKE
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
These components must be cleaned
with mild soap and water only.
Never use alcohol or alcohol-based
products.
Read the product label carefully
before using specific products for
cleaning the interiors: make sure the
product does not contain spirits or
alcohol-based substances.
If, when cleaning the windscreen
with special products, window
cleaner accidentally drips onto the
leather of the steering wheel/gear
lever knob/hand brake, wipe away
immediately and then wash the
affected area with mild soap and
water.
IMPORTANT Be careful when using
a steering wheel locking device,
to avoid damaging the leather
upholstery through abrasion.
