Detergents pollute water.
For this reason the car
must be washed in an
area equipped for the collection
and purification of the liquids
used while washing.TIPS FOR KEEPING THE BODY
IN GOOD CONDITIONS
Paintwork
The paintwork is not only to make
your car look attractive but also to
protect the steel.
If the paint is scuffed or scratched
deeply you are therefore advised to
touch up as necessary to prevent rust
from forming.
Only use genuine products when
touching up the paintwork (see
“Bodywork paint identification
plate” in chapter “Technical
Specifications”).
Ordinary maintenance of the
paintwork means washing it. The
frequency you should do this
depends on the conditions and the
environment the car is driven in. For
example, you should wash your car
more often if it is driven in areas
with a high level of air pollution or
on road sprinkled with saltwash.Before leaving your car
into the automatic car-
wash tunnel, disengage
the parking brake following the
instructions given in the relevant
paragraph, and leave the Keyless
System CID (where fitted) in the
car to prevent automatic steering
locking.Before cleaning the
windscreen (e.g. at filling
stations), make sure to
have deactivated the rain sensor
and turned the ignition key to
STOP. Deactivate the rain sensor
also when washing your car man-
ually or at automatic carwash.

Engine compartment
At the end of each winter season,
carefully clean the engine compart-
ment without directing the water jet
against electronic control units.
Have this done at a garage.
Detergents pollute water.
For this reason the car
must be washed in an
area equipped for the collection
and purification of the liquids
used while washing.
IMPORTANTThe car should
washed with the engine cold and the
ignition key at STOP. After washing
make sure that the various protec-
tions (e.g. rubber caps and various
covers) have not been damaged or
removed.INTERIORS
From time to time check that water
has not collected under the mats
(from dripping shoes, umbrellas,
etc.) which could cause the steel to
rust.
Never use inflammable
products like fuel oil
ether or rectified petrol
for cleaning inside the car. The
electrostatic discharges generat-
ed when rubbing to clean may
cause fire.
Do not keep aerosol cans
in the car. There is the
risk they might explode.
Aerosol cans must never be
exposed to a temperature above
50°C; when the weather starts to
get hot the temperature inside the
car might go well beyond that fig-
ure.
PLASTIC PARTS INSIDE
THE CAR
Use special products designed not
to alter the appearance of the com-
ponents.
IMPORTANTDo not use alcohol
or petrol to clean the instrument
panel.
CLEANING ALCANTARA
SEATS
Alcantara upholstery is easy to
clean. Follow the same instructions
provided for velvet upholstery.
