If you put the car through a car
wash, follow these
recommendations:
❒remove the aerial from the roof so it
does not get damaged;
❒the vehicle should be washed with
water added to a soapy solution;
❒rinse thoroughly to avoid soap marks
remaining on the bodywork or less
visible parts.
55)
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.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.5)
Windows
To clean glasses, use specific
cleaning products. Use clean cloths
to avoid scratching the glass or
damaging the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window
inside gently with a cloth following
the direction of the filaments to
avoid damaging the heating device.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.
Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic
substances (e.g. petrol) or ketones
(e.g. acetone) for cleaning the
plastic lenses of the front
headlights.
249
IMPORTANT
55) 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.
IMPORTANT
5) Detergents cause water pollution.
The vehicle should be washed in
areas equipped for collecting
and purifying the liquid used in
the washing process.
INTERIORS
Regularly check that water is not
trapped under the mats (due to
water dripping off shoes, umbrellas,
etc.), as this could cause oxidation
of the sheet metal.
198) 199)
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 mild soap.
PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior parts
with a moist cloth and a solution
of water and non-abrasive mild
soap. Use specific products for
cleaning plastic, without solvents
and specifically designed to prevent
damage to the appearance and
colour of the treated parts, to
remove grease and tough stains.IMPORTANT Do not use alcohol,
petrols or derivatives to clean
the instrument panel glass.
LEATHER STEERING
WHEEL/GEAR
KNOB/HANDBRAKE
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
These components must be
cleaned with mild soap and water
only. Never use alcohol or
alcohol-based products.
Read the product label carefully
before using specific products for
cleaning the interiors: make sure
that the product does not contain
spirits or alcohol-based
substances.
If, when cleaning the windscreen
with special products, window
cleaner accidentally drips onto the
leather of the steering wheel/gear
lever knob/handbrake, wipe away
immediately and then wash the
affected area with mild soap and
water.
250
SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT Be careful when using
a steering wheel lock device, where
applicable, to avoid damaging the
leather upholstery by rubbing.
WARNING
198) 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.
199) Do not keep aerosol cans in the
vehicle: they might explode.
Aerosol cans must not be exposed
to a temperature exceeding 50°C.
When the vehicle is exposed to
sunlight, the internal temperature
can greatly exceed this value.
