WHEELS AND TYRES
165) 166) 167) 168) 169)
IMPORTANT NOTES
Take the following precautions to
prevent damage to the tyres:
avoid braking suddenly, racing starts
and violent impact against the curb,
potholes or other obstacles and driving
for extended periods on uneven road
surfaces;
periodically check that the tyres
have no cuts in the side wall, abnormal
swelling or irregular tread wear;
avoid travelling with the vehicle
overloaded. If a tyre is punctured, stop
immediately and change it;
tyres age even if they are not used
much. Cracks in the tread rubber
and at the sides are a sign of ageing. In
any case, if the tyres have been on
the car for over 6 years, they should be
checked by specialised personnel.
Also remember to check the
space-saver wheel very carefully (for
versions/markets, where provided);
alternate the tyres, between front
and rear, every 10-15 thousand
kilometres, keeping them on the same
side of the car so as not to reverse
the direction of rotation;
in the case of replacement, always
fit new tyres, avoiding those of
unknown origin;
if a tyre is changed, also change the
inflation valve.
avoid travelling with partially or
completely deflated tyres as this can
compromise safety and damage the
tyres beyond repair.
WARNING
165)The road holding qualities of the car
also depend on the correct inflation
pressure of the tyres.
166)If tyre pressure is too low, it may
overheat and be severely damaged as a
result.
167)Do not cross switch the tyres, moving
them from the right of the car to the left
and vice versa.
168)Do not repaint alloy wheel rims at
temperatures higher than 150°C. The
mechanical characteristics of the wheels
might be compromised.
169)Travelling with partially or completely
deflated tyres can cause safety problems
and damage the concerned tyre beyond
repair.
BODY
PRESERVING THE
BODYWORK
Paint
Touch up abrasions and scratches
immediately to prevent the formation of
rust.
Maintenance of paintwork consists of
washing the car: the frequency
depends on the conditions and
environment where the car is used. For
example, in highly polluted areas, or if
the roads are spread with salt, it is
advisable to wash the car more
frequently.
To correctly wash the car, proceed as
follows:
remove the aerial from the roof to
prevent damage to it if the car is
washed in an automatic system;
if there is any decorative sticker or if
high pressure jets or cleaners are used
to wash the car, keep a distance of
at least 40 cm from the bodywork to
avoid damage or alteration;
wash the bodywork using a low
pressure jet of water;
wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy
solution over the bodywork, frequently
rinsing the sponge;
145

rinse well with water and dry with a
jet of air or a chamois.
Dry the less visible parts (e.g. door
frames, bonnet, headlight frames etc.)
with special care, as water may
stagnate more easily in these areas.
The car should not be taken to a closed
area immediately, but left outside so
that residual water can evaporate.
Do not wash the car after it has been
left in the sun or with the bonnet hot:
this may alter the shine of the
paintwork.
Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned
in the same way as the rest of the
vehicle.
Avoid parking under trees; the resin
dropped by trees makes the paintwork
go opaque and increases the possibility
of corrosion.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be
washed off immediately and thoroughly
as the acid they contain is particularly
aggressive.
66)8)
Windows
Use specific detergents and clean
cloths to prevent scratching or altering
the transparency.IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window
inside gently with a cloth following the
direction of the filaments to avoid
damaging the heating device.
Front headlights
Use a soft cloth soaked in water and
detergent for washing cars.
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic
substances (e.g. petrol) or ketones (e.g.
acetone) for cleaning the plastic lenses
of the headlights.
IMPORTANT When cleaning with a
pressure washer, keep the water jet at
least 20 cm away from the headlights.
Engine compartment
At the end of every winter, wash the
engine compartment thoroughly, taking
care not to aim the jet of water directly
at the electronic control units or at
the windscreen wiper motors. 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.
WARNING
66)In order to preserve the aesthetic
appearance of the paint abrasive products
and/or polishes should not be used for
cleaning the vehicle.
WARNING
8)Detergents pollute the environment.
Only wash your vehicle in areas equipped
to collect and treat wastewater from this
type of activity.

SERVICING AND CARE

COLD TYRE INFLATION PRESSURE (bar)
When the tires are warm, the inflation pressure should be + 0.3 bar in relation to the recommended figure.
However, recheck that the value is correct with the tyre cold.

SNOW CHAINS
67) 68)
The use of snow chains should be in compliance with local regulations of each country. In certain countries, tyres marked with
code M+S (Mud and Snow) are considered as winter equipment; therefore their use is equivalent to that of the snow chains.
Snow chains can be fitted to the tyres of the front wheels (drive wheels) only.
Check the tension of the snow chains after the first few metres have been driven.
Using snow chains with tyres with non-original dimensions may damage the vehicle.
Using different size or type (M+S, snow, etc.) tyres between front and rear axle may adversely affect car driveability, with the risk
of losing control of the car and resulting accidents.
IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be fitted to the space-saver wheel. If a front tyre is punctured, replace a rear wheel with the
space-saver wheel and move the rear wheel to the front axle. In this way, with two normal drive wheels at the front, snow
chains can be fitted.
WARNING
170)DO NOT fit wheel hub caps when using integral hub caps fixed (with springs) to the steel rim and after sale tyres provided with Rim
Protector. Use of unsuitable tyres and wheel caps may cause sudden decrease of tyre pressure.
171)The maximum speed for snow tyres marked “Q” is 160 km/h, while it is 190 km/h for “T” tyres and 210 km/h for "H" tyres. The highway
code speed limits must however always be complied with.
WARNING
67)Keep the vehicle's speed down when snow chains are fitted; never exceed 50 km/h. Avoid potholes, steps and pavements and avoid
driving long distances on roads not covered with snow to avoid damaging the car and the road surface.
68)With snow chains, use the accelerator with extreme care to prevent, or to limit as much as possible, slipping of the drive wheels that
could cause chain breakage, resulting in damage to the car body or mechanical components.
