Maintenance and Care
• Remove the used filter slipping it off
from within the air intake.
• Install the new filter with arrows
pointing in the direction of airflow,
which is toward the rear of the
vehicle (text and arrows on the filter
will indicate this).
• Close the filter retaining cover and
reinstall the access door.
CAUTION!
Failure to replace the filter may
considerably reduce the air
conditioning and heating system
efficiency.
Wiper Maintenance and Blades
Replacement
Windshield Wiper Arms Lifting
When the windshield wiper arms are
in rest position it is not possible to
check or replace the blades as they
remain under the engine hood.
To service the blades it is necessary
to move the wiper arms in “Service”
position (see chapter “Wipers and
Washers” in section “Understanding
the Vehicle”). In this way it is possible
to lift the arms for cleaning or
replacing the wiper blades.
WARNING!
It is dangerous to operate or service
the wiper blades with the windshield
wipers in an active position (any
position different from “OFF”) and
with the ignition switch in the RUN
position. The rain sensors may
suddenly activate the wipers. Always
use the “Service” position for any
intervention on the windshield wiper
blades.
Windshield Wiper Maintenance
Life expectancy of wiper blades varies
depending on the geographical area’s
weather conditions where the car
is used and frequency of use. Poor
performance of blades may be present
with chattering, marks on the glass,
water lines or wet spots. If any of
these conditions are present, clean the
wiper blades or replace if necessary.
Clean the rubber edges of the wiper
blades and the windshield/rear
window glasses periodically with
a sponge or soft cloth and a mild
nonabrasive cleaner. This will remove
accumulations of salt or road film.
