SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
Page 221 of 323

If you put the vehicle through a car
wash, follow these
recommendations:
– remove the aerial from the roof so
it does not get damaged;
– water added to a soapy solution
should be used for washing;
– rinse thoroughly to avoid soap
marks staying on the bodywork or
less visible parts.
39)
Dry the less visible parts with special
care, such as the door frames,
bonnet and the headlight frames,
where water may stagnate more
easily. It is a good idea to leave the
vehicle outdoors for a while after
washing it to give 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.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 should
be washed off immediately and
thoroughly as the acid they contain
is particularly aggressive.6)
Windows
To clean glasses, use specific
cleaning products. Use clean cloths
to avoid scratching the glass or
damaging the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the inside
surface of the rear window gently
with a cloth in the direction of the
filaments to avoid damaging the
heater coils.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 and
the relay/fuse box on the left side of
the engine compartment (driving
direction). 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 washing
operation, make sure that the
various protections (e.g. rubber
caps and guards) have not been
removed or damaged.
Headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic
substances (e.g. petrol) or ketones
(e.g. acetone) for cleaning the
plastic lenses of the front headlights.

4. Do not travel with a heavy load:
the weight of the vehicle (especially
when driving in town) and its trim
greatly affect fuel consumption and
stability.
5. Remove roof racks or ski racks
after use. These accessories reduce
the vehicle's aerodynamic
penetration and have a negative
effect on fuel consumption.
6. When transporting particularly
large objects, use a trailer if
possible.
7. Use the vehicle's air vents if
possible: travelling with the windows
open impairs aerodynamics.
8. Use electrical devices only for the
amount of time needed. The
vehicle’s heated rear window,
additional headlights, screen wipers
and heater fan require a
considerable amount of energy;
increasing the current uptake
increases fuel consumption (by up
to +25% in an urban cycle).
9. Air conditioning leads to higher
fuel consumption (on average up to
+30%). If the temperature outside
is not too extreme, try and use
the air vents.Driving style
1. After starting the engine you
should drive away immediately and
slowly, avoiding high revs. Do not
warm up the engine at low or high
revs when the vehicle is stationary;
this causes the engine to warm
up more slowly, thereby increasing
fuel consumption, emissions and
mechanical component wear.
2. Avoid pointless actions such as
revving up when at traffic lights
or before stopping the engine. The
latter action, like double-
declutching, is unnecessary and
causes increased fuel consumption
and pollution.
3. Gear selection: select a high gear
as soon as possible (taking into
account normal engine operation
and traffic conditions) without
pushing the engine to high revs
during the intermediate gears. Using
low gears at high revs to get lively
acceleration increases fuel
consumption, harmful emissions
and engine wear.4. Vehicle speed: fuel consumption
increases exponentially as the speed
of the vehicle increases. Keep your
speed moderate and as even as
possible, avoiding unnecessary
braking and acceleration, which
cause excessive fuel consumption
and increased emissions. Keeping a
safe distance from the vehicle in
front helps to maintain a steady
speed.
5. Acceleration: accelerating
violently severely affects
consumption and emissions.
Acceleration should be gradual and
should not exceed the maximum
engine torque rate.
