Advice on care and
maintenance
Recommendations on the care and
maintenance of your vehicle are given in the
Maintenance and Warranty Guide.
Textured paint
Textured paint reacts to light with variations of
appearance and finish that emphasise the car's
lines and form. This paint coating has particles
that remain visible and create a unique satin
relief effect. Its lightly granulated texture gives
it a
surprising feel. Observe the following recommendations
to avoid damaging the paint finish:
-

c
hoose a high pressure wash, or at
least a high water delivery; roller brush
washing is compatible.
-
g
ently wipe the body with a clean
microfibre cloth.
-
c
arefully wipe off any fuel spilt on the
body using a soft cloth, then allow to
d r y.
-

c
lean off minor marks (for example,
finger marks), using the product in the
"TECHNATURE" range intended for
removing insects.
H o w eve r,
-

d
o not select the programme with hot
wax finish.
-

d
o not use waterless cleaning.
-

n
ever polish the vehicle.
-

d
o not use paint restorers, abrasive
or polishing products, or bright paint
preser vers (wax polish, for example).
It is always preferable to have paint
repairs carried out in the dealer network or
by a


qualified workshop.

Practical information

Leather
Leather is a natural product. Appropriate
regular care and cleaning is essential for its
durability.
Refer to your vehicle's Maintenance and
Warranty Guide for information on all the
special precautions to observe.
Care of the stickers
These styling stickers are treated to give good
resistance to ageing and tearing.
They have been designed to allow you to
customise your vehicle's bodywork.
Available also as accessories, we recommend
that you have them applied by a
network dealer
or a


qualified workshop.
When washing your vehicle, keep the
high-pressure lance tip at least 30
cm
away from the stickers.
Fabric roof
Before washing the fabric, remove as
much dirt as possible using a soft brush or
a
vacuum cleaner.
We recommend cleaning your vehicle in
an automatic roller-brush car wash.
To avoid damaging the roof, never use
a
high-pressure jet wash.
Allow the vehicle to dry in the shade and
avoid exposing it to direct sunlight.
To remove stains, dab them (never rub
them) with a
sponge and some soapy
water, then immediately rinse the fabric
with clean water.
Immediately remove bird droppings or
plant resins, their caustic nature could
damage the fabric. For regular care of the fabric and to keep
its original appearance, we recommend
using the environmentally friendly product
"Insect remover – all-roof cleaner" from
the "TECHNATURE" range. To obtain this
product, visit your dealer.
Never use chemical products, detergents,
stain removers, solvents, alcohol, petrol,
etc. to clean the fabric.
To waterproof the fabric, use only
waterproofing products specifically for
fabric hoods.
Acoustic air deflector
We recommend that you clean the
acoustic air deflector with care
, using
a
soft brush.
