damaged.

Do not cross switch the tyres, moving
them from the right of the car to the

left and vice versa.

WARNING

Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring the use of

temperatures exceeding 150°C.The mechanical
properties of the wheels could be impaired.

WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW

WIPER

BLADES

Replace the blades if the rubber edge is deformed or
worn. In any event, it is advisable to replace them
approximately once a year.
A few simple precautions can reduce the possibility
of damage to the blades:
❒ if the temperature falls below zero, make sure that

ice has not frozen the rubber against the glass. Use
an antifreeze product to release it if required;

❒ remove any snow from the glass: in addition to

protecting the blades, this prevents effort on
the motor and over-heating;

❒ do not operate the windscreen/rear window

wipers on dry glass.

WARNING

Driving with worn windscreen/rear
window wiper blades is a serious hazard,

because visibility is reduced in bad weather.

Replacing the wiper blades

Proceed as follows:
❒ raise the wiper arm, press tab A fig. 145 of the

attachment spring and remove the blade from
the arm;
