WARNING
227) Driving with worn windscreen/rear
window wiper blades is a serious risk,
because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.
228) If the window needs to be cleaned,
make sure the device is turned off or the
ignition device is in the STOP position.
RAISING THE CAR
81)
If the car needs to be lifted, go to a
which is equipped with workshop lifts
and jack arms.
IMPORTANT
81) For versions equipped with side-skirts,
pay particular attention when positioning
the lift arms at the workshop.
WHEELS AND TYRES
229) 230) 231) 232)
Check the pressure of each tyre
approximately every two weeks and
before long journeys. The pressure
should be checked with the tyre rested
and cold.
It is normal for the pressure to increase
when the car is used; for the correct
tyre inflation pressure, see the
"Wheels" chapter in the "Technical
specifications" section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal
tyre wear fig. 217:
A B C
217 F0S1279
A normal pressure: tread evenly worn.
B low pressure: tread particularly worn
at the edges.
C high pressure: tread particularly
worn in the centre. The tyres must be
replaced when the tread is less than
1.6 mm thick. In any case, follow the
laws in force in the country where you
are driving.
WARNINGS
As far as possible, avoid sharp
braking, screech starts and violent
shocks against pavements, potholes or
other hard obstacles.
Driving for long stretches over uneven
roads can damage the tyres;
periodically check that the tyres have
no cuts in the side wall, abnormal
swelling or irregular tyre tread wear. Go
to a Dealership if required;
avoid overloading the vehicle when
travelling: this may cause serious
damage to the wheels and tyres;
