RUBBER TUBING
Follow the Service Schedule to the
letter as concerns supply line, power
steering and brake system rubber tub-
ing. Ozone, high temperatures and
long absence of fluid in the system can
in fact cause the hardening and crack-
ing of the pipes with possible loss of
fluid. A careful check is therefore es-
sential.
WINDSCREEN/
REAR WINDOW
WIPER
BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part
with suitable products.
Change the blades if the rubber edge
is warped or worn out. You should in
any case change them approximately
once a year.
– Remove any snow that has settled
on the glass: besides saving the blades
you will avoid straining the electric
windscreen wiper motor and causing
it to overheat.
– Do not operate the wind-
screen/rear window wipers on dry
glass.
Replacing the windscreen wiper
blades fig. 21
1) Lift the windscreen wiper arm A
off the glass and position the blade
so as to form a 90° angle with the arm.
2) Push the blade downwards to re-
lease it from the arm A .
3) Refit a new blade, inserting the
tongue on the proper set of the arm.
Make sure that is locked.
Travelling with worn
wiper blades is dangerous
because it reduces visibil-
ity in bad weather.
Some simple steps can reduce po-
tential damage to the blades:
– If the temperature falls to below
zero, make sure the rubber blade is
not frozen to the glass. If necessary,
free it with a de-icing compound.
