BODYWORK
PROTECTION FROM ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS
The car is equipped with the best available technological solutions
to protect the bodywork against corrosion.
These are the most important:
❍paint products and systems which give the car resistance to cor-
rosion and abrasion;
❍use of galvanised (or pre-treated) steel sheets with high resis-
tance to corrosion;
❍spraying protective plastic materials in the most exposed ar-
eas: underdoor, inner mudguard parts, edges, etc.;
❍using “open” boxed sections to prevent condensation and pock-
ets of moisture from causing rust inside.
❍use of special films to protect against abrasion in exposed ar-
eas (e.g. rear wing, doors, etc.).
BODY AND UNDERBODY WARRANTY
Your car is covered by warranty against perforation, due to rust,
of any original element of the structure or bodywork. For the gen-
eral terms of this warranty, refer to your Warranty Booklet.
PRESERVING THE BODYWORK
Paint
Touch up abrasions and scratches immediately to prevent the for-
mation of rust.
Maintenance of paintwork consists of washing the car: the fre-
quency depends on the conditions and environment where the
car is used. For example, it is advisable to wash the car more of-
ten in areas with high environmental pollution or salted roads.
To correctly wash the car:
❍remove the aerial from the roof when using a carwash;
❍in washing stations keep the steam jet/high pressure washing
nozzles at least 40 cm away from the bodywork to prevent dam-
age. It should be remembered that a build up of water could
cause damage, in the long term, to the car.
❍wash the body using a low pressure jet of water;
❍wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy solution over the body-
work, frequently rinsing the sponge;
❍rinse well with water and dry with a jet of air or chamois leather.

IMPORTANT
Avoid parking under trees; the resin dropped by trees makes the
paintwork go opaque and increasing the possibility of corrosion.
Bird droppings must be washed off immediately and thoroughly as
the acid they contain is particularly aggressive.
Windows
Use specific detergents and clean cloths to prevent scratching.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window gently with a cloth in the di-
rection of the filaments to avoid damaging the heating device.
Front headlights
Use a soft, damp cloth soaked in water and detergent for wash-
ing cars.
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g. petrol) or ketenes
(e.g. acetone) for cleaning the plastic lenses of the front head-
lights.
IMPORTANT When cleaning the car with a pressure washer, keep
the water jet at least 2 cm away from the headlights.
Engine compartment
At the end of every winter, wash the engine compartment thor-
oughly, taking care not to aim the jet of water directly at the elec-
tronic control units or at the windscreen wiper motors. Have this
operation performed at a specialised workshop.
IMPORTANT The washing should take place with the engine cold
and the ignition key in the STOP position. After the wash, make
sure that the various protective devices (e.g. rubber caps and
guards) have not been removed or damaged.
Detergents cause water pollution. Only wash the
car in areas equipped for the collection and pu-
rification of the fluids used in the actual washing
process.
When drying take care to dry the least visible parts where the
water could collect most easily. 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.
In order to preserve the aesthetic appearance of
the paintwork abrasive products and/or polishes
should not be used for cleaning the car.

INTERIORS
Periodically check for water puddles under the mats that could cause
the panels to rust.
SEATS AND FABRIC PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. It is advis-
able to use a moist brush on velvet upholstery. Wipe the seats with
a sponge soaked in a solution of neutral detergent and water.
LEATHER SEATS
(on request for versions/markets, where provided)
Remove the dry dirt with a buckskin or slightly damp cloth, with-
out exercising too much pressure.
Remove liquid or oil stains using a dry absorbent cloth, without rub-
bing. Then clean with a soft cloth or buckskin cloth dampened with
water and neutral soap.
If the stain persists, use specific products and observe the instruc-
tions carefully.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol. Make sure that the cleaning prod-
ucts used contain no alcohol or alcohol derivatives, even in small
quantities.
PLASTIC PARTS AND COVERS
Clean interior plastic parts with a damp cloth (if possible made from
microfibre), and a solution of water and neutral, non-abrasive de-
tergent. To clean oily or persistent stains, use specific products free
from solvents and designed to maintain the original appearance
and colour of the components.
Remove any dust using a microfibre cloth, if necessary moistened
with water. The use of paper tissues is not recommended as these
may leave residues.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol or petrol to clean the glass on the
instrument panel or other plastic parts.

Never use flammable products, such as petroleum
ether or modified petrol, to clean inside the car.
The electrostatic charges which are generated by
rubbing during cleaning may cause a fire.
Do not keep aerosol cans in the vehicle: these could
explode. Aerosol cans must not be exposed to a
temperature exceeding 50°C. When the vehicle
is exposed to sunlight, the internal temperature can great-
ly exceed this value.LEATHER UPHOLSTERY
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Use only water and neutral soap to clean these parts. Never use
alcohol or alcohol-based products.
Before using a specific product for cleaning interiors, make sure
that it does not contain alcohol and/or alcohol based substances.

SOUND SYSTEM
❍do not stick labels on the surface of the
CD and do not write on the recorded sur-
face using pens or pencils;
❍do not use CDs that are clearly
scratched, flawed, distorted, etc. Using
discs like this will result in malfunctions
or damage to the player;
❍to achieve the best quality audio repro-
duction we recommend the use of orig-
inal CD media. If CD-R/RWs that have
not been correctly recorded and/or with
a maximum capacity above 650 MB are
used, correct operation is not guaran-
teed;
❍do not use the protective sleeves sold
for CDs or discs with stabilizers, etc. be-
cause they may get stuck in the internal
mechanism and damage the disc;
❍if copy-protected CDs are used, it may
take a few seconds before the system
starts playing them. The CD player is not
guaranteed to play all copy-protected
discs. The fact that the CD is protected
from being copied is often shown in very
small letters on the CD cover itself where
it may, for example, say “COPY CON-
TROL”, “COPY PROTECTED”, “THIS CD
CANNOT BE PLAYED ON A PC/MAC”, or
it may be identified through the use of
symbols, such as, for example:
❍The CD player is capable of reading most
compression systems currently in use
(e.g.: LAME, BLADE, XING, FRAUN-
HOFER) but, following the development
of these systems, the reading of all com-
pression formats is not guaranteed.
CD
Dirt, scratches or any distortions on CDs
could cause problems and poor sound qual-
ity during playback. Follow these tips for op-
timum playback conditions:
❍only use CDs with the following brand :
❍clean every CD to remove any finger-
prints or dust using a soft cloth. Hold CDs
by the circumference and clean them
from the middle outwards;
❍never use chemicals (e.g. anti-static
products or thinners or sprays) for clean-
ing as they could damage the surface of
the CDs;
❍after listening, place CDs back in their
cases to avoid damaging them;
❍do not expose CDs to direct sunlight,
high temperatures or damp for long pe-
riods;
