RUBBER TUBING
As far as the brake system and fuel rubber hoses are
concerned, carefully follow the Service Schedule in this
section. Indeed ozone, high temperatures and
prolonged lack of fluid in the system may cause
hardening and cracking of the hoses, with possible
leaks. Careful control is therefore necessary.
WINDSCREEN/
REAR WINDOW WIPERS
BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using special
products; TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 is
recommended.
If the rubber blades are bent or worn they should be
replaced. In any case they should be changed once a
year.
A few simple notions can reduce the possibility of
damage to the blades:
❒ if the temperature fall below zero, make sure that
ice has not frozen the rubber against glass. If
necessary, thaw using an antifreeze product;
❒ remove any snow from the glass: in addition to
protecting the blades, this prevents effort on the
motor and overheating;
❒ do not operate the windscreen and rear window
wipers on dry glass.
WARNING
Driving with worn wiper blades is a serious hazard, because visibility is reduced in
bad weather.
