SUGGESTIONS ABOUT
THE ROTATION OF THE
TYRES
166)77) 78) 79) 80)
The front and rear tyres are subject to
different loads and stress due to
steering, manoeuvres and braking. For
this reason they are subject to uneven
wear.
To resolve this problem, tyres should be
rotated at the appropriate time. This
operation is recommended for tyres
with a deep tread pattern, suitable both
for on-road and off-road driving.
Tyre rotation contributes to the
preservation of the grip and traction
performance on wet, muddy or snowy
roads, guaranteeing optimal driveability
of the car.
In the case of irregular wear of the
tyres, the reason must be identified and
corrected before rotating them.
WARNING
166)Do not cross switch the tyres if they
are "unidirectional" type. In this case,
always take care not to fit the tyres with a
direction of rotation that is opposite to that
indicated: you would risk losing grip and
control of the vehicle.
WARNING
77)The road holding qualities of the car
also depend on the correct inflation
pressure of the tyres.
78)If tyre pressure is too low, the tyre may
overheat and be severely damaged as a
result.
79)Do not switch tyres from the righthand
side of the vehicle to the lefthand side,
and vice versa.
80)Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring the use of
temperatures exceeding 150°C. The
mechanical properties of the wheels could
be impaired.

PRESERVING THE
BODYWORK
Paintwork
81)6)
Touch up abrasions and scratches
immediately to prevent the formation of
rust.
Versions with matt paint
(for versions/markets, where provided)
On some versions the car may have
an exclusive opaque paint on the roof,
which requires special care to keep it
in good condition.
82)
Washing the car
To correctly wash the car, follow these
instructions:
if the vehicle is washed remove the
aerial from the roof;
if high pressure jets or cleaners are
used to wash the vehicle, keep a
distance of at least 40 cm from the
bodywork to avoid damage or
alteration. Build up of water could
cause damage to the car in the long
term;
wash the bodywork using a low
pressure jet of water;
