Replacing The Air Cleaner
See the "Maintenance Plan" for the
correct servicing intervals. It is advised to
replace it with a genuine spare part,
specifically designed for this vehicle.
Air Conditioning System Maintenance
To ensure the best possible performance,
the air conditioning system must be
checked and undergo maintenance at an
authorized dealer at the beginning of the
summer.
Caution!
Do not use chemicals to clean the air
conditioning system, since the internal
components may be damaged. This kind of
damage is not covered by warranty.
Replace The Cabin Air Filter
See the "Maintenance Plan" for the
correct servicing intervals. For cleaner
replacement, contact an authorized
dealer.
Warning!
Use only refrigerants and compressor
lubricants approved by the manufacturer for
your air conditioning system. Some
unapproved refrigerants are flammable and
can explode, injuring you. Other unapproved
refrigerants or lubricants can cause the
system to fail, requiring costly repairs. Refer
to Warranty Information Book, located in
your owner’s information kit, for further
warranty information.
Lubricating Moving Parts Of The
Bodywork
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,
eliminating every trace of dirt and dust.
After lubricating, eliminate excess oil and
grease. Also pay particular attention to
the hood closing devices, to ensure
correct operation. During operations on
the hood, to be carried out with the
engine cold, also remember to check,
clean and lubricate the locking, release
and safety devices.
Lubricate the external lock barrels twice
a year. Apply a small amount of
high-quality lubricant directly into the
lock barrel.
If necessary, contact your authorized
dealer as soon as possible.
Windshield Wiper
Periodically clean the windshield and rear
window and rubber profile of the
windshield wiper blades, using a sponge
or a soft cloth and a non-abrasive
detergent. This eliminates the salt or
impurities accumulated when driving.
Prolonged operation of the windshield
window wipers with dry glass may cause
the deterioration of the blades, in
addition to abrasion of the surface of the
glass. To eliminate the impurities on the
dry glass, always operate the windshield
washers.
In the event of very low outdoor
temperatures, below zero degrees,
ensure that the movement of the rubber
part in contact with the glass is not
obstructed. Use a suitable deicing
product to release it if required.
Avoid using the windshield wipers to
remove frost or ice.
Also avoid contact of the rubber profile
of the blades with petroleum derivatives
such as engine oil, gas, etc.
