CAUTION DUE TO THE HIGH TEMPERATURES THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER CAN REACH, ALWAYS TAKE CARE, WHEN PARKING THE VEHICLE, THAT THE EX- 02_06 HAUST DOES NOT COME INTO CONTACT WITH FLAMMABLE MATERIALS, TO AVOID SERIOUS BURNS.
  • Page 25: Automatictransmission

    CAUTION WHEN PARKING THE VEHICLE, DUE TO THE HIGH TEMPERATURES THE CAT- ALYTIC CONVERTER CAN REACH, ALWAYS BE CAREFUL THAT THE MUF- FLER DOES NOT COME INTO CONTACT WITH FLAMMABLE MATERIALS, TO AVOID SERIOUS BURNS. CAUTION DO NOT SHUT OFF THE ENGINE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. UNBURNED FUEL COULD ENTER THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND BURN, CAUSING THE CONVERTER TO OVERHEAT AND POSSIBLY DESTROYING IT.

    CAUTION ELECTROLYTE CONTAINS SULPHURIC ACID: AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES, SKIN AND CLOTHES. IN CASE OF ACCIDENTAL CONTACT, RINSE WITH ABUN- DANT WATER AND CONSULT A DOCTOR. CAUTION IN ORDER TO AVOID DAMAGING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, NEVER DISCON- NECT THE WIRING WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. DO NOT TIP THE VEHICLE TOO MUCH IN ORDER TO AVOID DANGEROUS LEAKAGE OF THE BATTERY ELECTROLYTE.
  • Page 39: Long Periods Of Inactivity

    Long periods of inactivity Battery performance will be poor if the vehicle is not used for a long time. This is the result of the natural phenomenon of battery discharging, and may be due to residual absorption by vehicle components with constant power consumption. Poor battery performance may also be due to environmental conditions and the cleanliness of the poles.

  • Page 46: Frontandreardiscbrake

    Frontandreardiscbrake (03_23, 03_24) The brake disc and pad wear is automatically compensated, therefore it has no effect on the functioning of the front and rear brakes. For this reason it is not necessary to adjust the brakes. An excessively elastic brake lever stroke may indicate the presence of air in the braking circuit or an irregular brake operation.
  • Page 47: Puncture

    Puncture (03_25) The vehicle is equipped with Tubeless tyres. When there is a puncture, Tubeless tyres - unlike tyres with inner tubes - go flat very slowly. This offers greater riding safety. A tyre that goes flat very slowly can be repaired with an "Inflate and Repair" spray. Tyres should be later fully repaired or replaced at an Authorised Service Centre.
  • Page 48: Cleaningthevehicle

    Cleaningthevehicle Use a low pressure jet of water to soften the caked dirt and mud deposited on the painted surfaces. Once softened, sponge off mud and dirt using a car body sponge soaked in a car body shampoo and water solution (2-4% of car shampoo in water). Then rinse with abundant water, and dry with a shammy cloth.
