Exterior plastic parts should be
cleaned in the same way as the rest
of the vehicle. Where possible, do
not park the vehicle under trees; the
resinous substances released by
many species give the paint a dull
appearance and increase the
possibility of corrosion.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must
be washed off immediately and
thoroughly, as the acid they contain
is particularly aggressive.Windows
To clean windows, use specific
cleaning products.
Use clean cloths to avoid scratching
the glass or damaging the
transparency.
Engine compartment
At the end of each winter,
thoroughly wash the engine
compartment, taking care to avoid
spraying the water jet directly onto
the electronic control units or the
fuse box on the left side of the
engine compartment (driving
direction).
Have this operation performed at a
specialised workshop.
IMPORTANT Washing should take
place with the engine cold and the
ignition key removed.
After the washing operation, make
sure that the various protections
(e.g. rubber caps and guards) have
not been removed or damaged.
Detergents cause water
pollution. The vehicle
should be washed in
areas equipped for collecting
and purifying the liquid used in
the washing process.
Some car washes with
old-style blades and/or
in a poor state of repair
can damage the paintwork,
facilitating the formation of
lines that give the paint a
dull/misty appearance,
especially on dark colours.
If this happens, lightly polish the
paintwork with appropriate
products.
Dry the less visible parts, such as the
door frames, bonnet and the
headlight frames with special care, as
in these areas water may stagnate
more easily.
It is a good idea to leave the vehicle
outdoors for a while after washing it
to give the water time to evaporate.
Do not wash the vehicle after it has
been left in the sun or with the
bonnet hot: this may alter the shine
of the paintwork.

Never use flammable
products, such as
petroleum ether or modified
petrol, to clean the inside of
the vehicle.
The electrostatic charges which
are generated by rubbing
during the cleaning operation
may cause a fire.
WARNING
Do not keep aerosol
cans in the vehicle: they
might explode.
Aerosol cans must not be
exposed to temperatures
above 50°C. Temperatures
may greatly exceed this value
inside a vehicle exposed to
direct sunlight.
WARNINGFront headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic
substances (e.g. petrol) or ketenes
(e.g. acetone) for cleaning the plastic
lenses of the front headlights.INTERIORS
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.
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.
