OF THE CAR
If the pressure is too
low the tyre overheats
and this can cause it serious
damage.
WARNING
Never submit alloy rims
to repainting treat-
ments requiring to use temper-
atures exceeding 150°C since
the mechanical properties of the
wheels could be impaired.
WARNING
Do not cross switch the
tyres, moving them
from the right of the car to the
left and vice versa.
WARNING
RUBBER HOSES
As far as the brake system and fuel rub-
ber hoses are concerned, carefully fol-
low the Service schedule in this section.
Indeed ozone, high temperatures and
prolonged lack of fluid in the system
may cause hardening and cracking of
the hoses, with possible leaks. Careful
control is therefore necessary.
WINDSCREEN
WIPER
BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using
special products TUTELA PROFES-
SIONAL SC 35 is recommended.
If the rubber blades are bent or worn
they should be replaced. In any case
they should be changed once a year.
A few simple notions can reduce the pos-
sibility of damage to the blades:
❒ if the temperature falls below zero,
make sure that ice has not frozen
the rubber against glass. If neces-
sary, thaw using an antifreeze prod-
uct;
❒ remove any snow from the glass:
in addition to protecting the blades,
this prevents effort on the motor and
overheating;
❒ do not operate the windscreen
wipers on dry glass.
Driving with worn
wiper blades is a seri-
ous hazard, because visibility
is reduced in bad weather.
