BODY AND UNDERBODY WARRANTY
Your car is covered by warranty against perforation due to rust of any
original element of the structure or bodywork. For the general terms
of this warranty, refer to the Warranty Booklet.
PRESERVING THE BODYWORK
Paintwork
Touch up abrasions and scratches immediately to prevent the formation
of rust.
Maintenance of paintwork consists of washing the car: the frequency
depends on the conditions and environment where the car is used. For
example, it is advisable to wash the car more often in areas with
high levels of atmospheric pollution or salted roads.
On some versions the car may be equipped, on request, with an
exclusive opaque paint on the roof which, in order to be maintained
intact, requires special care: see the instructions below.
Avoid washing with rollers and/or brushes in washing
stations. Wash the car only by hand using neutral pH
detergents; dry it with a wet chamois leather. Abrasive
products and/or polishes should not be used for cleaning the car. Bird
droppings must be washed off immediately and thoroughly as the acid
they contain is particularly aggressive. Avoid (if at all possible)
parking the car under trees; remove vegetable resins immediately as,
when dried, it may only be possible to remove them with abrasive
products and/or polishes, which is highly inadvisable as they could
alter the typical opacity of the paint. Do not use pure screen washer
fluid for cleaning the front windscreen and rear window; dilute it min.
50% with water. Only use pure screen washer fluid when strictly
necessary due to outside temperature conditions.
To correctly wash the car, follow these instructions:
❒remove the aerial from the roof when using a carwash;
❒if high pressure jets or cleaners are used to wash the car, keep a
distance of at least 40 cm from the bodywork to avoid damage
or alteration. Bear in mind that a build up of water could cause
damage to the car in the long term;
❒wash the bodywork using a low pressure jet of water;
❒wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy solution over the bodywork,
frequently rinsing the sponge;
❒rinse well with water and dry with a jet of air or a chamois leather.
Dry the less visible parts (e.g. door frames, bonnet, headlight frames,
etc.) with special care, as water may stagnate more easily in these
areas. Do not wash the car after it has been left in the sun or with the
bonnet hot: this may alter the shine of the paintwork.
Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned in the same way as the rest of
the car.
Detergents pollute the environment. Only wash your car in
areas equipped to collect and treat wastewater from this
type of activity.
In order to preserve the aesthetic properties of the
paintwork, abrasive products and/or polishes should not
be used to clean the car.

IMPORTANT
Avoid parking under trees; the resin dropped by trees makes the
paintwork go opaque and increases the possibility of corrosion.
Bird droppings must be washed off immediately and thoroughly as the
acid they contain is particularly aggressive.
Windows
Use specific detergents and clean cloths to prevent scratching or
altering the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window inside gently with a cloth following
the direction of the filaments to avoid damaging the heating device.
Front headlights
Use a soft cloth soaked in water and detergent for washing cars.
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g. petrol) or ketenes
(e.g. acetone) for cleaning the plastic lenses of the front headlights.
IMPORTANT When cleaning with a pressure washer, keep the water jet
at least 20 cm away from the headlights.
Engine compartment
At the end of every winter, wash the engine compartment thoroughly,
taking care not to aim the jet of water directly at the electronic control
units or at the windscreen wiper motors. 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.INTERIORS
Periodically check for water puddles under the mats that could cause
the panels to rust.
Never use flammable products, such as petrol ether or
rectified petrol to clean the inside of the car. The
electrostatic charges which are generated by rubbing
during the cleaning operation may cause a fire.
Do not keep aerosol cans in the car: they might
explode. Aerosol cans must not be exposed to a
temperature exceeding 50°C. When the car is exposed
to sunlight, the internal temperature can greatly exceed this
value.
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
soaked in a solution of neutral detergent and water.
CLEANING ALCANTARA SEATS
Alcantara trim can be treated and cleaned easily in the same way as
the other trims. The same indications given for cleaning fabrics are
also therefore applicable for this trim.
