CAUTION
During the tyre life, the rolling
direction of the first fitting shall
always be observed, also in case of
“non-directional” tyres.
CAUTION
Check the depth of the tyre
tread at regular intervals (minimum
allowed value 1.6 mm). The thinner
is the tread, the greater is the risk of
skidding.
CAUTION
Drive carefully on wet roads to
decrease the risk of aquaplaning.
WINDSCREEN
WIPERS
Clean the rubber parts regularly using the
appropriate products.
Change the blades if the edge of the rubber
is deformed or worn. In any case, the blades
should be changed about once a year.
CAUTION
Travelling with worn wiper
blades is very dangerous because it
reduces the visibility in the event of
poor atmospheric conditions.
CAUTION
The arms of the wiper blade
have to be replaced with new ones
after having disassembled them twice.
The special arm fixing system ensures
optimal mechanical stability only after
the first two refitting operations,
provided that the specified tightening
torque is observed.
CAUTION
We advise you to have any
operations involving removal of the
windscreen wiper arms performed at
an Authorised Service Centre of the
Manufacturer’s Network.
Some simple measures may reduce the
possibility of damage to the blades.
- In the case of temperatures below zero °C,
check that ice has not stuck the rubber part
against the windscreen glass. If necessary,
release with an anti-ice product.
- Remove any snow on the windscreen: as
well as protecting the blades, this avoids
forcing and overheating the electric motor.
- Do not activate the windscreen wipers when
the windscreen is dry.
