IMPORTANT
316) The maximum speed for snow tyres
marked "Q" is 160 km/h, while it is 190
km/h for "T" tyres and 210 km/h for "H"
tyres. You should, however, always stick to
the speed limits of the highway code.

SNOW CHAINS

The use of snow chains should be in
compliance with local regulations of
each country.
Snow chains can be fitted to the tyres
of the front wheels (drive wheels) only.
Check the tension of the snow chains
after the first few feet/meters have been
driven.

WARNING With snow chains, use
the accelerator with extreme care
to prevent, or to limit as much as
possible, slipping of the drive wheels
that could cause chain breakage,
resulting in damage to the vehicle body
or mechanical components.
WARNING For versions fitted with
225/75 R16 tyre, use snow chains with
max. thickness 16 mm.When travelling
330
on snowy roads with snow chains, it
may be helpful to turn the ASR off: in
fact, in these conditions, the driving
wheels skidding when moving off gives
you better traction.
WARNING
126) Keep the speed down when snow
chains are fitted; never exceed 50 km/h.
Avoid potholes, do not drive over steps
or pavements, and do not drive long
distances over roads without snow, to
avoid damaging both your vehicle and the
road surface.

BODYWORK

127)
PROTECTION AGAINST
ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS
The main causes of corrosion are the
following:
atmospheric pollution;
salty air and humidity (coastal areas,
or hot humid climates);
seasonal environmental conditions.
The abrasive action of wind-borne
atmospheric dust and sand, as well as
mud and gravel raised by other cars is
also not to be underestimated.
On your vehicle, the Manufacturer has
implemented the best manufacturing
technologies to effectively protect the
bodywork against corrosion.
These include:
painting products and systems which
give the vehicle particular resistance to
corrosion and abrasion;
use of galvanised (or pre-treated)
steel sheets, with high resistance to
corrosion;
spraying the underbody, engine
compartment, wheelhouse internal
parts and other parts with highly
protective wax products;
spraying of plastic parts, with a
protective function in the more exposed
points: underdoor, inner wing, edges,
etc.;
use of "open" boxed sections to
prevent condensation and pockets of
moisture from triggering rust inside.
VEHICLE BODY AND
UNDERBODY WARRANTY
Your vehicle is covered by warranty
against perforation due to corrosion of
any original element of the structure or
bodywork.
For the general terms of this warranty,
refer to the Warranty Booklet.
