VEHICLE BODY AND UNDERBODY
WARRANTY
Your car is covered by warranty against perforation, due
to rust, of any original element of the structure or body-
work.
For the general terms of this warranty, refer to your War-
ranty Booklet.
ADVICE FOR PRESERVING THE BODYWORK
Paint
Paintwork does not only serve an aesthetic purpose, but
also protects the underlying sheet metal.
Touch up abrasions and scratches immediately to prevent
the formation of rust. Use only original paint products
for touch-ups (see “Bodywork paint identification plate”
in the “Technical specifications” section).
Normal care for paintwork consists of washing the car;
how often depends on the conditions and environment
where the car is used. For example, it is advisable to wash
the car more often in areas with high atmospheric pollu-
tion or if you are travelling on gritted roads.
To wash the car properly, proceed as follows:
❒if taking your car through an automatic car wash, re-
move the aerial from the roof;
❒wash the body using a low-pressure jet of water;
❒use a sponge to wipe a slightly soapy solution over the
bodywork, frequently rinsing the sponge;

❒rinse with plenty of water and dry with a jet of air or
a chamois leather.
Dry the less visible parts particularly carefully, such as the
door frames, bonnet and the headlight frames, where wa-
ter may stagnate more easily. It is a good idea to leave
the car in the open for a while after washing it to give time
for the water to 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
substances that fall off many species give the paint a dull
appearance and increase the possibility of triggering rust
processes.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings should be washed off im-
mediately and thoroughly as the acid they contain is par-
ticularly aggressive.

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 con-
sumption:
❒urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that sim-
ulates urban use of the car;
❒extra-urban cycle: driving that simulates using the ve-
hicle out of town with frequent acceleration in all gears;
the speed varies from 0 to 120 km/h;
❒combined consumption: this is calculated with a weight-
ing of about 37% urban cycle consumption and about
63% extra-urban consumption.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic situations, weath-
er conditions, driving style, general state of the car, trim
level/equipment/accessories, load, climate control system,
roof rack, and other situations that affect how the car
moves through the air may lead to different fuel con-
sumption levels than those measured.
Fuel consumption according to the current European directive (litres x 100 km)
