Recommendations on care of your vehicle
The general recommendations on the care of your vehicle are given in the maintenance and warranty guide.
Fabric roof
To avoid damaging the roof.
-  n ever   use   a   high   pressure   jet   wash,
-
 
n
ever   wash   your   vehicle   in   an  
a

utomatic   roller-brush   car   wash.Remove
  bird   droppings   or   tree   resins   as  
t

heir   acidity   may   damage   the   roof.Never
  use   chemical   products,  
d

etergents,   stain   removers,   solvents,  
a

lcohol,   petrol, ...   to   clean   the   roof.
We   recommend   that   you   clean   the  
a

ero-acoustic   defector   with care
 
using  
a

  soft   brush.
Before
  washing   the   fabric   roof,   first  
r

emove   as   much   dirt   as   possible   from  
t

he   sur face   using   a   soft   brush   or   a  
v

acuum   cleaner.
To waterproof the roof, use only special
waterproofing   products   for   fabric   roofs.
To
  remove   marks,   sponge   them  
(but   never   rub   them)   using   soapy   water,  
t

hen   immediately   rinse   with   clean   water.
Allow   the   vehicle   to   dry   in   a   shaded  
a

rea   and   avoid   direct   exposure   to  
t

he sun. For
  the   regular   maintenance   of   the  
f

abric   roof   and   to   conserve   its   original  
a

ppearance,   we   recommend   an  
e

cological   "Fly   remover   -   Fabric   roof  
c

leaner"   from   the   "TECHNATURE"  
r

ange.   To   obtain   this   product   go   to   a  
C
