Maintenance and Care
A/C System Maintenance
For best performances, the air
conditioning system should be checked
and serviced by the
Service Network at
the beginning of the warm season.
This service should include cleaning of
the condenser check of the drive belt
tension and a performance test.
During the winter, the air conditioning
system should be operated at least
once a month for about 10 minutes.
CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your air
conditioning system as the chemicals
can damage your air conditioning
components. Such damage is not
covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
WARNING!
•
Use only refrigerants and
compressor lubricants approved
by the manufacturer for your
air conditioning system. Some
refrigerants are flammable and
can explode, causing injuries.
Other unapproved refrigerants or
lubricants can cause the system to
fail, requiring costly repairs.
• The air conditioning system contains
refrigerant under high pressure.
To avoid risk of personal injury
or damage to the system, adding
refrigerant or any repair requiring
lines to be disconnected should be
done by an experienced technician.
Periodically remove any leaves and
insects that may build up and obstruct
the inlet of external air in the air
conditioning system through the grille
present underneath the rear part of
the hood.
To access the grille, lift the hood
as described in “Open and Close the
Hood” in section “Before Starting”.
Wheels Maintenance
Tires Maintenance
CAUTION!
To obtain the best performances and
the longest mileage from the tires,
take following precautions during the
first 500 km (310 mi):
•
do not drive at the vehicle’s
maximum speed;
• drive at low speed on curves;
• avoid sudden steering;
• avoid sudden braking;
• avoid sudden acceleration;
•
do not drive at high speeds for too
long.
The tires inflation pressure must
correspond to the prescribed values
(
: chapter “Tire Inflation Pressure”
in section “Technical Specifications”)
and should be checked only when
the tires have cooled down. In fact,
the pressure increases as the tire
temperature progressively increases.
Never reduce the pressure if tires are
hot (
: chapter “Tires Information”
chapter in section “Safety”).
Insufficient tire inflating pressure can
cause tire overheating and possible
