side of the vehicle to the left­hand side, and
vice versa.

CAR INACTIVITY
If the car is left inactive for longer than a
month, the following precautions should
be observed:
park the car in covered, dry and if
possible well-ventilated premises and
slightly open the windows
check that the electric parking brake is
not activated
disconnect the negative battery
terminal and check the battery charge.
Repeat this check once every three
months during storage
if the battery is not disconnected from
the electrical system, check its state of
charge every thirty days
park the car with the auxiliary lithium
battery fully charged
clean and protect the painted parts
using protective wax
clean and protect the shiny metal parts
using special compounds commercially
available
sprinkle talcum powder on the
windscreen and rear window wiper
rubber blades and lift them off the glass
cover the car with a fabric or
perforated plastic sheet, paying
particular care not to damage the
painted surface by dragging any dust
that may have accumulated on it. Do not
use compact plastic sheets which do not
allow humidity to evaporate from the
surface of the car
inflate tyres to +0.5 bar above the
standard prescribed pressure and check
it periodically
do not drain the engine cooling system
any time the car is left inactive for
two weeks or more, operate the air
conditioning system with engine idling
for at least 5 minutes, setting external
air and with fan set to maximum speed.
This operation will ensure appropriate
lubrication for the system, thus
minimising the possibility of damage to
the compressor when the system is
operated again
WARNING After setting the ignition
device to STOP and having closed
the driver side door, wait at least two
minutes before disconnecting the
electrical supply from the battery. When
reconnecting the electrical supply to the
battery, make sure that the ignition
device is in the STOP position and the
driver's door is closed.

Maintenance of paintwork consists of
washing the car: the frequency depends
on the conditions and environment where
the car is used.
For example, it is advisable to wash the
car more often in areas with high levels
of atmospheric pollution or salted roads.
To correctly wash the car, follow these
instructions:
if the car is washed remove the aerial
from the roof
If high pressure jets or cleaners are
used to wash the car, keep a distance
of at least 40 cm from the bodywork to
avoid damage or alteration. Build up of
water could cause damage to the car in
the long term
