Normal maintenance of paintwork consists
in washing the car: the frequency 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
a high environmental pollution or on roads
sprinkled with salt.
To correctly wash the car:
remove the aerial from the roof to pre-
vent 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 so-
lution 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 parts less in sight particularly care-
ful ly, such as the door fram es and the
headlight frames, where water may stag-
nate more easily. It is a good idea to leave
the car in the open for a while after wash-
ing it to give time for the water to evap-
orate.Do not wash the car after it has been
parked in the sun or when the engine is
bonnet is hot: this could take the shine off
the paint.
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 re-
lease give the paint a dull appearance and
increase the possibility of triggering rust
processes.
IMPORTANT Bir d droppings must be
washed off immediately and thoroughly as
the acid they contain is partic ularly ag-
gressive.
Detergents cause water pollu-
tion. The car should be washed
in areas equipped for collect-
ing and purifying the liquid
used in the washing process.
Windows
Use specific window cleaner products.
Use also clean cloths to avoid scratching
the glass or damaging the transparency.
IMPORTANT The inside of the rear win-
dow should be wiped gently with a cloth
in the direction of the filaments to avoid
damaging the heating device.
Engine compartment
Wash the engine compartment carefully
after the end of the winter. Be careful not
to direct the jet of water onto electronic
control units. Adequately protect the up-
per air vents to prevent damage to the
windscreen wiper motor. Have this op-
eration performed at a specialised work-
shop.
IMPORTANT Perform this operation on
a cold engine and with the key at STOP.
After the washing operation, make sure
that the various protections (e.g. rubber
caps and guards) have not removed or
damaged.
Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic sub-
stances (e.g.: petrol) or ketenes (e.g.: ace-
tone) for cleaning front headlight plastic
lens.

The fabric upholstery of your
car is designed to withstand
the normal wear and tear of
your car for a long time. Some
precautions are however needed. Avoid
prolonged rubbing against clothing ac-
cessories, such as metal buckles, Velcro
strips and the like, which by applying a
high pressure on the fabric in a small
area could cause the breakage of some
threads and damage the upholstery.
CLEANING SEATS AND FABRIC
PA RT S
Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacu-
um 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 de-
tergent.
Never use flammable prod-
ucts, such as petrol ether or
rectified petrol to clean inside the car.
The electrostatic charges which are
generated by rubbing during the
cleaning operation may cause a fire.
WARNING
Do not keep aerosol cans in
the car : risk of explosi on.
Aerosol cans must not be exposed to
temperatures higher than 50°C . The
temperature may raise well beyond
that figure when the car is left in the
sun.
WARNINGINTERIORS
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.

GENUINE LEATHER STEERING
WHEEL/GEAR LEVER KNOB
These components must be cleaned with
mild soap and water only.
Never use spirit and/or alcohol based
products.
Before using off-the-shelves products de-
signed for cleaning car interiors, make sure
that they do not contain spirit and/or al-
cohol based substances before using them.
If window cleaner accidentally drips onto
the steering wheel or gear lever knob,
wipe away immediately and then wash the
concerned area with mild soap and water. IMPORTANT Be carefully when arranging
a steering wheel lock device, where applic-
able, to prevent damaging the leather up-
holstery by rubbing. 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 plas-
tic, 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 spirit or petro-
leum to clean the instrument panel.
