Glasses
To clean glasses, use specific window cleaner products.
Also use clean cloths to avoid scratching the glass or dam-
aging the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window inside gently with
a cloth in the direction of the filaments to avoid damag-
ing the heating device.
Engine compartment
At the end of the winter the engine compartment should
be carefully washed, without directing the jet against any
electronic control unit. Have this operation performed
at a specialised workshop.
IMPORTANT The washing should take place with the en-
gine cold and the ignition key in the
STOP
position. After
the washing operation, make sure that the various pro-
tections (e.g. rubber caps and guards) have not been re-
moved or damaged.
Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g.: petrol)
or ketenes (e.g.: acetone) for cleaning front headlight plas-
tic lens. To correctly wash the vehicle, proceed as follows:
❒
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, frequently rinsing with the sponge;
❒
rinse well with water and dry with a jet of air or
a chamois leather.
Dry the less visible parts, such as the door frames, bonnet
and the headlight frames with special care, as in these ar-
eas water may stagnate more easily. The car should not
be taken to a closed area immediately, but left outside 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 paint-
work.
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 ap-
pearance and increase the possibility of triggering rust
processes.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be washed off imme-
diately and thoroughly as the acid they contain is particu-
larly aggressive.
Detergents cause water pollution. The vehi-
cle should be washed in areas equipped for
collecting and cleaning the liquid used in the
washing process.

INTERIORSRegularly check that water is not trapped under the mats
(due to water dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.), as this
would cause oxidation of the sheet metal.
Never use flammable products, such as
petrol ether or rectified petrol to clean the
car inside. The electrostatic charges which are
generated by rubbing during the cleaning opera-
tion may cause a fire.
WARNING
Do not keep aerosol bottles in the vehicle:
risk of bursting. Aerosol bottles must not
be exposed to a temperature exceeding 50 °C.
When the car is exposed to sunlight, inner tem-
perature can greatly exceed this value.
WARNING
SEATS AND FABRIC PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. It is
advisable to use a moist brush on velvet upholstery.
Rub the seats with a sponge moistened with a solution of
water and neutral detergent.
INTERIOR PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior parts with a moist cloth and
a solution of water and mild soap. Use specific products
for cleaning plastic, without solvents and specifically de-
signed to prevent damage to the appearance and colour
of the treated parts to remove grease and tough stains.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol or petroleum to clean
the instrument panel.
CLEANING SEAT PROTECTORS
In order to clean/remove stains from the
seat protectors, it is not advisable to use
alcohol or alcohol based products (e.g. solvents).
