IMPORTANT The headlight inner surface might be
slightly misted: this should not be considered irregular
but a natural phenomenon due to low temperature
and the air humidity level. Misting will disappear as
soon as the headlights are turned on.
Drops inside the headlight mean water infiltration:

ADVICE FOR PRESERVING
THE BODYWORK
Paint
Paintwork does not only serve an aesthetic purpose,
but also protects the underlying sheet metal.
In the case of deep scrapes or scores, you are advised
to have the necessary touching up carried out
immediately to avoid the formation of rust.
Only use original products when touching up the
paintwork (see section “Technical specifications”).
Ordinary paint maintenance consists in washing at
intervals depending on the conditions and environment
of use. For example, in highly polluted areas, or if the
roads are sprayed with salt, it is wise to wash the car
more frequently.
To wash the car properly:
❒remove the aerial from the roof to prevent damages
if the car is washed in an automatic carwash;
❒wash the body using a low pressure jet of water.
❒wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy solution over
the bodywork, frequently 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 frames, bonnet and around the
headlights where water may collect. The car should
not be taken to a closed area immediately, but left in
the open so that residual water 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.
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 release give the paint a dull
appearance and increase the possibility of triggering
rust processes.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be washed off
immediately and thoroughly as the acid they contain is
particularly aggressive.
Detergents cause water pollution. Therefore the engine compartment should be washed in areas
equipped for collecting and purifying the liquid used in the washing process.

Windows
Use specific window cleaner products to clean cloths
to avoid scratching the glass or damaging the
transparency.
IMPORTANT The inside of the rear window should
be wiped gently with a cloth in the direction of the
filaments to avoid damaging the heating device.
Engine compartment
At the end of the winter the engine compartment
should be carefully washed, without directing the jet
against electronic control units. Contact a specialised
workshop to have this done.
IMPORTANT Wash with the engine cold and the
ignition key at STOP. After washing make sure that the
various protections (e.g. rubber caps and various
covers) have not been damaged or removed.
Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g.:
petrol) or ketones (e.g.: acetone) for cleaning front
headlight plastic lens.
IMPORTANT Wash with the engine cold and the
ignition key at STOP. After washing make sure that the
various protections (e.g. rubber caps and various
covers) have not been damaged or removed.INTERIORS
Periodically check that water is not trapped under the
mats (due to water dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.)
which could cause oxidisation of the sheet metal.
CLEANING SEATS AND FABRIC/JERSEY
UPHOLSTERY
❒Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to remove dust.
❒Rub the seats with a sponge moistened with a
solution of water and neutral detergent.
PLASTIC PARTS INSIDE THE CAR
Clean the plastic parts inside the car with a cloth
moistened with a solution of water and non-abrasive
neutral detergent. To remove grease or hard stains,
use special solvent-free products designed not to alter
the appearance and colour of components.
IMPORTANT Do not use alcohol or petrol to clean
the instrument panel.
Detergents cause water pollution.
Therefore the engine compartment should
be washed in areas equipped for
collecting and purifying the liquid used in
the washing process.
