STARTING AND DRIVING193
3
Keep your speed down when snow chains are
fitted. Do not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid potholes,
steps and pavements and also avoid driving
long distances on roads not covered with snow in
order to prevent damaging the car and the roadbed.
SNOW CHAINS
The use of snow chains should be in compliance with lo-
cal regulations.
The snow chains may be applied only onto the front wheel
(drive wheels).
Check the tension of the snow chains after the first few
metres have been driven.
IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be fitted to the space-
saver wheel. So, if a front (drive) wheel is punctured and
chains are needed, a rear wheel should be fitted to the front
of the car and the space-saver wheel should be fitted to
the rear. In this way, with two normal drive wheels at the
front, snow chains can be fitted.
CAR INACTIVITY
If the car is to be left inactive for longer than a month, the
following precautions should be followed:
❍ park the car in a covered, dry and, if possible, well-
ventilated place;
❍ engage a gear;
❍ check that the handbrake is not engaged;
❍ disconnect the negative battery terminal;
❍ clean and protect the painted parts of the vehicle with
protective wax;
❍ clean and protect the shiny metal parts using special
compounds commercially available;
❍ sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber windscreen and
rear window wiper blades and lift them off the glass;
❍ open the windows slightly;
❍ cover the car with a fabric 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 a pressure of +0.5 bar above the nor-
mal specified pressure and check regularly;
❍ do not drain the engine cooling system.

SCHEDULED SERVICING PLAN
The checks listed in the Scheduled Servicing Plan, after reaching 120,000 km/6 years, must be cyclically repeated starting from
the first interval, thus following the same intervals as before.

233-256 Delta GB 1ed 03/04/14 13:27 Pagina 235

PERIODIC CHECKS
Every 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 CAR
Should the prevailing use of the car be under one of the
following specially demanding conditions:
❍ trailer or caravan towing;
❍ dusty roads;
❍ short (less than 7-8 km) and repeated journeys in sub-
zero temperatures;
❍ engine often idling or driving long distances at low
speeds or prolonged inactivity;

WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW WASHER FLUID
C - fig. 1
Remove the cap, operating on the special tab, to add fluid.
Use a mixture of water and TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC35 fluid, in the following concentrations:
❍30% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC35 and 70% wa-
ter in summer.
❍ 50% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC35 and 50% wa-
ter in winter.
In case of temperatures below –20°C, use undiluted
TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC35 fluid.
Check fluid level through the reservoir.
Close the plug by pressing the centre section.
Do not travel with the windscreen washer
fluid reservoir empty: the windscreen wash-
er is essential for improving visibility.
Some commercial windscreen washer additives are
flammable. The engine compartment contains hot
parts which could cause a fire if they come into con-
tact with these additives.
BRAKE FLUID D - Fig. 1
Undo the plug and check that the liquid contained in the
reservoir is at the maximum level. The fluid level in the
reservoir must not exceed the MAX mark. If you need to
top up, you should use the brake fluid shown in the “Flu-
ids and lubricants” table (see chapter “6”).
NOTE Carefully clean the plug of the reservoir and the
surrounding surface.
Take great care to ensure that impurities do not enter the
reservoir when the plug is opened.
For topping-up, always use a funnel with integrated filter
with mesh equal to or lower than 0.12 mm.
IMPORTANT Brake fluid is hygroscopic (i.e. it absorbs
moisture). For this reason, if the car is mainly used in ar-
eas with a high degree of atmospheric humidity, the flu-
id should be replaced at more frequent intervals than spec-
ified in the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.

RUBBER HOSES
As 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 WIPER
BLADES
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.
