BODYWORK
PRESERVING THE
BODYWORK
Paint
70)
6)To correctly wash the car, proceed as
follows:
remove the aerial from the roof to
prevent damage to it if the car is
washed in an automatic system;
if high pressure jets or cleaners are
used to wash the vehicle, keep a
distance of at least 40 cm from the
bodywork to avoid damage or
alteration. It should be remembered
that the build up of water can damage
the car over a period of time;
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.
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.
The car should not be taken to a closed
area immediately, but left outside so
that residual water can evaporate.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
vehicle.
Avoid parking under trees; the resin
dropped by trees makes the paintwork
go opaque and increases the possibility
of corrosion.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings should be
washed off immediately and thoroughly
as the acid they contain is particularly
aggressive.
WARNING
70)In order to preserve the aesthetic
appearance of the paint, abrasive products
and/or polishes should not be used for
cleaning the vehicle.
WARNING
6)Detergents pollute the environment.
Only wash your vehicle in areas equipped
to collect and treat wastewater from this
type of activity.
INTERIOR
SEATS AND FABRIC
PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a
vacuum cleaner.
Rub the seats with a sponge moistened
with a solution of water and neutral
detergent.
WARNING To avoid ruining the
upholstery, do not use acetone, acetic
alcohol, denatured ethyl alcohol or
any highly aggressive solvents or
detergents to clean the fabric parts.
Use spotting agents such as isopropyl
alcohol or dry stain removers.

172)The maximum speed for snow tyres marked “Q” is 160 km/h, while it is 190 km/h for “T” tyres and 210 km/h for "H" tyres. The highway
code speed limits must however always be complied with.
173)185/55 R15 82T tyres cannot be fitted with chains.

during the next 2 seconds, the first
track contained in the new folder will be
played.

moment selected is played, the next
folder will be played.
WARNING
178)If the volume is too loud this could be
dangerous for the driver and for
passengers when driving in traffic. Always
adjust the volume so that you can still
hear background noises.
179)Multimedia CDs include data tracks in
addition to the audio tracks. Playing this
type of CD can cause hissing at a volume
that may jeopardise road safety as well
as cause damage to the final stages and
the speakers.
180)Using some of the system functions
whilst driving can distract attention away
from the road, risking an accident or other
serious consequences; they should
therefore be used only when driving
conditions allow it and, if necessary, only
with the vehicle stationary.
181)WARNING: Looking at the system
when driving can divert attention from the
road, with the risk of accidents or other
serious consequences. Do not change the
system settings or load data while driving.
Stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner
before carrying out these operations.
Adopting these precautions is important
since setting or changing some functions
may require the driver to be distracted from
the road and remove their hands from the
steering wheel.182)Looking at the display for a long time:
while driving, do not use any function
that requires looking at the display for a
long time. Pull over in a safe and legal
manner before attempting to access a
function of the system that requires
prolonged attention. Even occasional short
glances at the display may be hazardous
if your attention is diverted from driving at a
critical moment.
183)Setting the volume: do not turn the
volume up too high. Keep the volume at a
level where you can still hear outside traffic
and emergency signals while driving.
Driving while unable to hear these sounds
may cause an accident.
WARNING
73)Do not press the eject button
accidentally when inserting a CD.

WARNING
184)If the volume is too loud this could be
dangerous for the driver and for
passengers when driving in traffic. Always
adjust the volume so that you can still
hear background noises.
185)The use of some of the system's
features whilst driving can divert attention
away from the road, with the risk of
causing accidents or other serious
consequences; therefore they must only be
used when the driving conditions allow
and, where necessary, only when the
vehicle is stationary.186)Read and follow these instructions:
before using your system, read and follow
all the safety information and instructions in
this manual. Failure to observe the
precautions found in this manual may lead
to an accident or other serious
consequences.
187)Keep the manual in the car: if it is kept
in the car, the manual will become
something quick and easy to consult for
those not familiar with the system. Ensure
that everyone has access to the manual
and reads the instructions and the safety
information carefully before using the
system for the first time.
188)Warning: looking at the system when
driving can divert attention from the road,
with the risk of accidents or other serious
consequences. Do not change system
settings or enter data non-verbally (using
the manual controls) while driving. Stop the
vehicle in a safe and legal manner before
carrying out these operations. Adopting
these precautions is important since setting
or changing some functions might require
the driver to be distracted away from
the road and remove his or her hands from
the steering wheel.
189)Voice commands: the system
functions can be carried out using only
voice commands. The use of voice
commands when driving allows you to
manage the system without taking your
hands off the steering wheel.190)Looking at the display for a long time:
while driving, do not use any function
that requires looking at the display for a
long time. Pull over in a safe and legal
manner before attempting to access a
function of the system that requires
prolonged attention. Even occasional quick
glances at the display can be dangerous
if the driver's attention is diverted at a
critical moment.
191)Setting the volume: do not turn the
volume up too high. When driving, keep the
volume at a level that allows you to hear
the traffic outside and emergency sirens.
Driving while unable to hear these sounds
may cause an accident.
192)Using the voice recognition: the voice
recognition software is based on a
statistical process that is subject to error. It
is your responsibility to monitor voice
recognition functions included in the
system and address any errors.
193)Danger of distraction: the functions
may require manual settings (not using
voice commands). Attempting to perform
such setup or insert data while driving
can seriously distract your attention and
could cause an accident or other serious
consequences. Stop the vehicle in a safe
and legal manner before carrying out these
operations.
