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.
