MAINTENANCE
PROCEDURES
The following pages contain instructions on
the required maintenance from the technical
personnel who designed the vehicle.
In addition to these specific maintenance
in
structions specified for routine scheduled
servicing, there are other components which
may require periodic maintenance or
replacement over the vehicle’s life cycle.
Body Lubrication
Ensure that the locks and bodywork junction
points, including components such as the
seat guides, door hinges (and rollers), trunk
and hood are periodically lubricated with
lithium based grease to ensure correct, silent
operation and to protect them from rust and
wear.
Thoroughly clean the components, elimi-
nating every trace of dirt and dust. After
lu
bricating, eliminate excess oil and grease.
Also pay particular attention to the hood
closing devices, to ensure correct operation.
During operations on the hood, be sure to
pe
rform with the engine cold, also remember
to check, clean and lubricate the locking,
release and safety devices.
Make sure the hood's secondary latch keeps
th
e hood from opening when the primary
latch is released.
Lubricate the external lock cylinders twice a
ye
ar. Apply a small amount of high-quality
lubricant directly into the lock cylinder. If
necessary, contact your authorized dealer.
Battery gas is flammable and explosive.
Keep flame or sparks away from the
battery. Do not use a booster battery or
any other booster source with an output
greater than 12 Volts. Do not allow cable
clamps to touch each other.
Battery posts, terminals, and related
accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash hands after handling.
CAUTION!
It is essential when replacing the cables
on the battery that the positive cable is
attached to the positive post and the
negative cable is attached to the nega
-
tive post. Battery posts are marked posi-
tive (+) and negative (-) and are
id
entified on the battery case. Cable
clamps should be tight on the terminal
posts and free of corrosion.
If a “fast charger” is used while the
battery is in the vehicle, disconnect both
vehicle battery cables before connecting
the charger to the battery. Do not use a
“fast charger” to provide starting
voltage.
