To recognise a Genuine Part, check that the component bears our brands, always clearly visible on Genuine Parts,
from the braking system to windscreen wipers, from shock absorbers to ai\
r cleaner.
All Genuine Parts undergo strict controls, both during design and manufacturing stages, by specialists using vanguard materials, to test the component reliability.
This to guarantee performance and safety for you and your passengers on board, for a long time. Always ask for and make sure a Genuine Part has been used.

STARTING AND DRIVING189

SAVING FUEL
Some useful tips are given below for saving fuel and re-
ducing harmful emissions of CO
2and other pollutants (ni-
trogen oxides, unburnt hydrocarbons, Particulate Matter
(PM), etc.).
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in accordance
with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Ty r e s
Check the pressure of the tyres routinely at an interval of
no more than 4 weeks: if the pressure is too low, con-
sumption levels increase as resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded luggage compartment.
The weight of the car (especially when driving in town)
and its ride greatly affect consumption and stability. Accessories installed on longitudinal bars
Remove accessories like: roof racks, ski racks, luggage con-
tainer, etc. from the roof if they are no longer used. These
accessories lower aerodynamic penetration and adverse-
ly affect consumption levels. When transporting particu-
larly large objects, use a trailer if possible.
Electric devices
Use electrical devices only for the amount of time needed.
The heated rear window, additional headlights, wind-
screen/rear window wipers and heater fan need a con-
siderable amount of energy, therefore increasing fuel con-
sumption (by up to 25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control system
Using the climate control system leads to higher fuel con-
sumption (on average up to +20%). If the temperature
outside permits, try and use the ventilation only.
Devices for aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified devices for aerodynamic control
may adversely affect air drag and consumption levels.

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.
