🛡️ Safety Features
Ratings
Crash Test Ratings:
No standardized ratings like Euro NCAP or NHTSA existed for vehicles of this era in their contemporary context.
Active Features
Braking System:
Ventilated front disc brakes, solid rear disc brakes. ABS was optional or standard on later models.
Traction Control:
Not explicitly mentioned as a primary feature in the manual's description, but advanced AWD system inherently aids traction.
Passive Features
Seatbelts:
Three-point inertia-reel seatbelts (front), likely lap belts for rear passengers in early models.
Airbags:
Driver's airbag became standard in later Evoluzione models, not present in all 1986-1993 variants.
💡 Technology Features
Infotainment
Audio System:
Basic analog radio/cassette player common in this era. Manual may cover wiring for upgrades.
Driver Assistance
ABS:
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) was an option on earlier models and standard on later ones. Manual covers its operation and diagnostics.
Connectivity
Diagnostics:
On-board diagnostics (OBD) were nascent in this period. Manual details specific diagnostic procedures and trouble codes.
🔧 Maintenance
Service Intervals
Oil Change:
Typically every 7,500-10,000 km or annually. Refer to manual for exact specifications based on driving conditions.
Timing Belt:
Critical interval, typically 50,000-60,000 km or 4-5 years due to interference engine design. Manual provides precise recommendation.
Fluid Specifications
Engine Oil:
High-quality synthetic or semi-synthetic oil, viscosity grade typically 10W-40 or 15W-50. Manual specifies exact OEM recommendations.
Coolant:
Ethylene glycol-based coolant with anti-corrosion additives. Capacity around 7-8 liters. Manual confirms type and capacity.
Brake Fluid:
DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid. Manual specifies exact type and flush intervals.
Transmission Fluid:
Manual gearbox oil, typically GL-4 specification. Capacity around 2-2.5 liters. Refer to manual for exact type and grade.
Differential Fluid:
Specific gear oil for front and rear differentials. Manual will detail types and capacities.
Known Issues
Rust:
Significant concern in wheel arches, sills, and around window seals. Requires diligent inspection and preventative maintenance.
Engine Seals:
Valve stem seals and oil seals can degrade over time, leading to oil consumption and smoke.
Turbocharger:
Requires proper warm-up and cool-down periods to ensure longevity. Oil feed and return lines can clog.
Suspension Bushings:
Rubber bushings in the suspension can wear out, leading to imprecise handling and knocking noises.
Cooling System:
Hoses and radiator can degrade, leading to coolant leaks. Thermostat issues can also occur.
