WINDSCREEN WIPER
BLADES
Regularly clean the rubber part using
appropriate products;
TUTELA PRO-
FESSIONAL SC 35
is recommended.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is
deformed or worn. In any case, it is ad-
visable to replace them approximately
once a year.
A few simple precautions can reduce the
possibility of damage to the blades:
❒
make sure that the rubber part is not
stuck to the windscreen at sub-zero
temperatures. Use a de-icing 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
overheating;
❒
do not operate the windscreen wipers
on dry glass.
Driving with worn wiper
blades is a serious hazard,
because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.
WARNING
RUBBER HOSES
As far as the brake system and rubber fuel
hoses are concerned, follow the “Sched-
uled Servicing Plan” in this chapter carefully.
Ozone, high temperatures and prolonged
lack of fluid in the system may cause hard-
ening and cracking of the hoses, with pos-
sible leaks. Careful checking is therefore
necessary.
If the pressure is too low, the
tyre will overheat and could
be seriously damaged.
WARNING
Avoid switching the tyres
from the right side of the ve-
hicle to the left side and vice versa.
WARNING
Never submit alloy rims to re-
painting treatments requiring
the use of temperatures exceeding
150°C. The mechanical properties of
the wheels could be impaired.
