External 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 that many species release give the
paint a dull appearance and increase the possibility
of triggering rusting processes.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be washed off
immediately and thoroughly as the acid they contain
is particularly aggressive.
Detergents pollute the environment .
Therefore the engine compartment should
be washed in areas equipped for
collecting and purifying the liquid used in the
washing process.
Glasses
To clean glasses, use specific window cleaner
products.
Also use clean cloths to avoid scratching the glass or
damaging the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window inside gently
with a cloth in the direction of the filaments to avoid
damaging the heating device.Engine compartment
IMPORTANT The washing should take place with the
engine cold and the ignition key in the STOP
position. After the washing operation, make sure
that the various protections (e.g. rubber caps and
guards) have not been removed or damaged.

petrol) or ketenes (e.g. acetone) for cleaning the
plastic lenses of the front headlights.
