MAINTENANCE
AND CARE
To correctly wash the car:
❒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 pres-
sure jet of water;
❒wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy
solution over the bodywork, fre-
quently 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
carefully, such as the door frames and
the headlight frames, where water
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
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 release give the paint a dull
appearance and increase the possibil-
ity of triggering rust processes.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be
washed off immediately and thor-
oughly as the acid they contain is par-
ticularly aggressive.Windows
Use specific window cleaner products.
Also use clean cloths to avoid scratch-
ing the glass or damaging the trans-
parency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window
inside gently with a cloth in the di-
rection of the filaments to avoid dam-
aging the heating device.
Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic
substances (e.g.: petrol) or ketenes
(e.g.: acetone) for cleaning front
headlight plastic lens.Detergents pollute the envi-
ronment. The vehicle
should be washed in areas
equipped for collecting and
purifying the liquid used in the
washing process.
