For cleaner replacement, contact an authorized

LUBRICATING MOVING PARTS OF THE
B
ODYWORK
Ensure that the locks and bodywork junction
points, including components such as the seat
guides, door hinges (and rollers), liftgate and
hood are periodically lubricated with
lithium-based grease to ensure correct, silent
operation and to protect them from rust and
wear.
Thoroughly clean the components, eliminating
every trace of dirt and dust. After lubricating,
eliminate excess oil and grease. Also pay
particular attention to the hood closing devices,
to ensure correct operation. Operations of the
hood are to be carried out with the engine cold. Remember to check, clean and lubricate the
locking, release and safety devices.
Lubricate the external lock barrels twice a year.
Apply a small amount of high-quality lubricant
directly into the lock barrel.
If necessary, contact an authorized dealer as
soon as possible.
WINDSHIELD WIPER
Periodically clean the windshield, rear window
and rubber profile of the windshield wiper blades,
using a sponge or a soft cloth and a non-abrasive
detergent. This eliminates the salt or impurities
accumulated when driving.
Prolonged operation of the windshield window
wipers with dry glass may cause the deterioration
of the blades, in addition to abrasion of the
surface of the glass. To eliminate the impurities
on the dry glass, always operate the windshield
washers.
In the event of very low outdoor temperatures,
below 0°F (-17.8°C), ensure that the movement
of the rubber part in contact with the glass is not
obstructed. Use a suitable deicing product to
release it if required.
Avoid using the windshield wipers to remove frost
or ice.
Also avoid contact of the rubber profile of the
blades with petroleum derivatives such as engine
oil, gas, etc.

NOTE:
The life of the windshield wiper blades varies
according to the usage frequency. It is advised to
replace the blades approximately once a year.
When the blades are worn, noise, marks on the
glass or streaks of water may be noticed. In the
presence of these conditions, clean the wind
-
shield wiper blades or, if necessary, replace
them.
Raising The Windshield Wiper Blades
(“Service Position” Function)
The “service position” function allows the driver
to replace the windshield wiper blades easily. It is
also recommended to activate this function when
it is snowing and to make it easier to remove any
dirt deposits in the area where the blades are
normally positioned, while washing.

NOTE:
If the windshield wipers are raised while not in
the “service position,” it is possible to damage
the hood.
WARNING!
Use only refrigerants and compressor
lubricants approved by the manufacturer for
your air conditioning system. Some
unapproved refrigerants are flammable and
can explode, injuring you. Other unapproved
refrigerants or lubricants can cause the
system to fail, requiring costly repairs. Refer to
Warranty Information Book, located in your
owner’s information kit, for further warranty
information.
WARNING!
Driving with worn windshield wiper blades is a
serious hazard, because visibility is reduced in
bad weather conditions.

Activation Of The Function
To activate this function, disable the windshield
wiper before placing the ignition in the OFF
position.
This function can only be activated within two
minutes of placing the ignition in the OFF
position.
To activate this function, move the lever upward
for at least three seconds.Windshield Wiper Stalk
Function Deactivation
The function is deactivated if:
More than two minutes has passed before
placing the ignition in the OFF position after
raising the lever and placing the wipers in
service position.
The ignition is placed in the ACC position and
the windshield wiper control is used. If, after using the function, the ignition is set back
to ACC with the blades in a position other than
rest position (at the base of the windshield), they
will only return to rest position following a
command given using the stalk (stalk upwards,
into unstable position) or when a speed of 3 mph
(5 km/h) is exceeded.
Replacing The Windshield Wiper Blades

Proceed as follows:
1. Raise the wiper arm, push tab of the attach- ment spring and remove the blade from the
arm.
Wiper Release Tab
2. Fit the new blade, inserting the tab in the dedicated housing in the arm and checking
that it is locked.
3. Lower the wiper arm onto the windshield.

NOTE:
Do not operate the windshield wiper with the
blades lifted from the windshield. Front/Rear Windshield Washers
The window washer nozzles are fixed. If there is
no jet of fluid, first check that there is fluid in the
reservoir

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Use only a transmission oil with the character-
istics indicated
Ú
page 242.
Special Additives
Do not use any type of additive with the
automatic transmission oil. The automatic
transmission oil is a product designed especially
for this vehicle and its performance may be
compromised through the use of further
additives. Frequency of Oil Changes
In normal vehicle operating conditions, it is not
necessary to change the transmission oil.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
If necessary, replace the battery with another
battery with the same specifications. It is advised
to contact an authorized dealer for replacement.

NOTE:
Each time the 12 Volt battery is reconnected,
cycle the steering wheel all the way to the left.
Then cycle the steering wheel all the way to the
right to allow the steering angle sensor to learn
the steering angle thresholds.
Follow the battery manufacturer's instructions for
maintenance.

NOTE:
It will not be possible to open the liftgate with a
key or by pushing the button in the passenger compartment when the battery is disconnected.
Always position the manual liftgate opening strap
on the liftgate lock before disconnecting the
battery. The procedure is described in the “Lift
-
gate Emergency Opening”

FUSES
General Information
The fuses protect electrical systems against
excessive current.
When a device does not work, you must check the
electrical circuit inside of the fuse for a break/
melt.
Also, please be aware that using power outlets for
extended periods of time with the engine off may
result in vehicle battery discharge.
Blade Fuses
To avoid contamination from foreign matter
or moisture, use only new brake fluid or fluid
that has been in a tightly closed container.
Keep the master cylinder reservoir cap
secured at all times. Brake fluid in an open
container absorbs moisture from the air
resulting in a lower boiling point. This may
cause it to boil unexpectedly during hard or
prolonged braking, resulting in sudden brake
failure. This could result in a collision.
Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result
in spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts,
causing the brake fluid to catch fire. Brake
fluid can also damage painted and vinyl
surfaces, care should be taken to avoid its
contact with these surfaces.
Do not allow petroleum-based fluid to
contaminate the brake fluid. Brake seal
components could be damaged, causing
partial or complete brake failure. This could
result in a collision.
WARNING! CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your
transmission as the chemicals can damage
your transmission components. Such damage
is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
CAUTION!
If a transmission fluid leak occurs, visit an
authorized dealer immediately. Severe
transmission damage may occur. An
authorized dealer has the proper tools to
adjust the fluid level accurately.
