WARNING

The road holding qualities of the car
also depend on the correct inflation

pressure of the tyres.

WARNING

If tyre pressure is too low, it may
overheat and be severely damaged as a

result.

WARNING

Do not cross switch the tyres, moving
them from the right of the car to the

left and vice versa.

WARNING

Do not repaint alloy wheel rims at
temperatures higher than 150°C.The

mechanical characteristics of the wheels might
be compromised.

WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW

WIPER

BLADES

Replace the blades if the rubber edge is deformed or
worn. In any event, it is advisable to replace them
approximately once a year.
A few simple precautions can reduce the possibility
of damage to the blades:
❒ if the temperature falls below zero, make sure that

ice has not frozen the rubber against the glass. Use
an antifreeze product to release it if required;

❒ remove any snow from the glass: in addition to

protecting the blades, this prevents effort on
the motor and over-heating;

❒ do not operate the windscreen/rear window

wipers on dry glass.

WARNING

Driving with worn windscreen/rear
window wiper blades is a serious hazard,

because visibility is reduced in bad weather.
