Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned in
the same way as the rest of the car.
Where possible, do not park under trees;
the resinous substance many species re-
lease give the paint a dull appearance
and increase the possibility of triggering
rust processes.
IMPORTANTBird droppings must be
washed off immediately and thorough-
ly as the acid they contain is particular-
ly aggressive.

Windows
Use specific window cleaner products. Use
also clean cloths to avoid scratching the
glass or damaging the transparency.
IMPORTANTThe inside of the
rearscreen should be wiped gently with
a cloth in the direction of the filaments
to avoid damaging the heating device.
Front headlights
Front headlights shall be washed with
soft cloth moistened with water and car
detergent.
IMPORTANT Cleaning headlight lens-
es with a dry cloth will damage the
headlights with lack of performance as
a consequence. Solvents mat the lens-
es with lack of performance as a con-
sequence.
IMPORTANT When washing the front
headlights with a water monitor noz-
zle keep at least 2 cm away from the
lenses. To wash the car correctly proceed as fol-
lows:
❒remove the aerial from the roof to
prevent damage to it if the car is
washed in an automatic system;
❒wash the body using a low pressure
jet of water;
❒wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy
solution over the bodywork, fre-
quently rinsing with the sponge;
❒rinse well with water and dry with a
jet of air or a chamois leather.
When drying, take particular care with
the less visible parts like door surrounds,
bonnet and around the headlights where
water may stagnate. The car should not
be taken to a closed area immediately,
but left in the open so that residual wa-
ter can evaporate.
Do not wash the car after it has been left
in the sun or with the bonnet hot: this
may alter the shine of the paintwork.
Detergents cause water
pollution. Therefore the
car should be washed
in areas equipped for collecting
and purifying the liquid used in
the washing process.

–extra-urban cycle: frequent ac-
celerating in all gears, simulating ex-
traurban use of the car; the speed varies
between 0 and 120 km/h;
–combined consumption: is cal-
culated weighing about 37% of urban
cycle consumption and about 63% of
extraurban consumption.IMPORTANT The type of route,
traffic situations, weather condi-
tions, driving style, general con-
ditions of the car, trim level/
equipment/accessories, load, cli-
mate control system, roof rack,
other situations that affect air
drag may lead to different fuel
consumption levels than those
measured.FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in
the table below are determined on the
basis of the homologation tests set
down by specific European Directives.
The procedures below are followed for
measuring consumption:
–urban cycle: cold starting followed
by driving that simulates urban use of
the car;
