Doing so could cause stains or damage
the finish.
Cleaning plastic parts
Use a sponge or chamois leather. If a
car wax adheres on a grey or black
rough surface of the bumper, moulding
or lamps, the surface becomes white.
In such a case, wipe it off using
lukewarm water and soft cloth or
chamois leather.
212) 213)
Chrome parts
In order to prevent spots and corrosion
of chrome parts, wash with water, dry
thoroughly, and apply a special
protective coating. This should be done
more frequently in winter.
Aluminium wheels (if so equipped)
Remove dirt using a sponge while
sprinkling water on the wheel.Use
neutral detergent on any dirt that
cannot be removed easily with
water. Rinse off the neutral
detergent after washing the
wheel.Dry the wheel thoroughly
using a chamois leather or a soft
cloth.
214) 215) 216) 217)
Window glass
The window glass can normally be
cleaned using only a sponge and water.
Glass cleaner can be used to removeoil, grease, insect carcasses, etc. After
washing the glass, wipe it dry with a
clean, dry, soft cloth. Never use a cloth
that is used for cleaning a painted
surface to clean a window. Wax from
the painted surface could get on the
glass and lower glass transparency and
visibility.
NOTE To clean the inside of the rear
window, always use a soft cloth and
wipe the window glass along the
demister heater element so as not to
cause damage.
Wiper blades
Use a soft cloth and glass cleaner to
remove grease, insect carcasses, etc.,
from the wiper blades. Replace the
wiper blades when they no longer wipe
properly.
Engine compartment
Clean the engine compartment at the
beginning and end of winter. Pay
particular attention to flanges, crevices
and peripheral parts where dust
containing road chemicals and other
corrosive materials might collect.
If salt and other chemicals are used on
the roads in your area, clean the engine
compartment at least every three
months.
Never spray or splash water on the
electrical components in the engine
compartment, as this may cause
damage.Do not bring the nearby parts, the
plastic parts and so on into contact
with sulphuric acid (battery electrolyte)
which may crack, stain or discolour
them.
If they are in contact, wipe off with soft
cloth, chamois or the like and an
aqueous solution of neutral detergent
then immediately rinse the affected
parts with plenty of water.
Versions with tonneau cover
Hand washing is recommended for the
tonneau cover; modern automatic
washing systems equipped with soft
brushes which do not apply excessive
pressure with specific products may be
used.
Never use high-pressure washing
systems. If a water jet is used, direct
away from the edges of the fabric and
the rear window to prevent water
infiltration.
Versions with stickers or wrapping
To correctly clean and wash the stickers
and/or wrapping parts, proceed as
follows:
Avoid washing with rollers and/or
brushes in washing stations. Then,
wash the vehicle, only by hand, using
pH-neutral detergents; dry it with a wet
chamois leather. Abrasive products
and/or polishes should not be used for
cleaning the vehicle.
If high pressure jets or cleaners are
used to wash the vehicle, hold at least

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

206)Refrain from excessively using a car
wash as its brushes may scratch the paint
surface, causing it to lose its gloss.
Scratches will be especially visible on
darker coloured vehicles.
207)Never spray or splash water on the
electrical components in the engine
compartment. Doing so could have an
adverse effect on the engine startability.
Exercise caution also when washing the
underbody; be careful not to spray water
into the engine compartment.
208)Some types of hot water washing
equipment apply high pressure and heat to
the vehicle. They may cause heat distortion
and damage to the vehicle resin parts and
may result in flooding of the vehicle interior.
Therefore maintain a good distance of
approx. 70 cm or more between the vehicle
body and the washing nozzle. Also, when
washing around the door glass, hold the
nozzle at a distance of more than 70 cm
and at right angles to the glass surface.
209)After washing the vehicle, drive the
vehicle slowly while lightly depressing the
brake pedal several times in order to dry
out the brakes. Leaving the brakes wet
could result in reduced braking
performance. Also, there is a possibility that
they could freeze up or become inoperative
due to rust, rendering the vehicle unable to
move.210)Using an automatic car wash, pay
attention to the following items, referring to
the operation manual or consulting a car
wash operator. If the following procedure is
not followed, it could result in damage to
your vehicle: 1 – the outside rear view
mirrors are retracted.2–Ifyour vehicle is
equipped with the pillar antenna, it can be
retracted. If your vehicle is equipped with
the roof antenna, it can be removed. 3 –
The wiper arms are secured in place with
tape.4–Ifyour vehicle has rain sensor
wipers, place the wiper switch lever in the
“OFF” position to deactivate the rain
sensor.
211)Waxes containing high abrasive
compounds should not be used.
212)Do not use a scrubbing brush or other
hard tools as they may damage the plastic
part surface.
213)Do not bring the plastic parts into
contact with petrol, light oil, brake fluids,
engine oils, greases, paint thinners and
sulphuric acid (battery electrolyte) which
may crack, stain or discolour the plastic
parts. If they touch the plastic parts, wipe
them off with soft cloth, chamois or the like
and an aqueous solution of neutral
detergent then immediately rinse the
affected parts with water.
214)Do not use a brush or other hard
implement on the wheels. Doing so could
scratch the wheels.
215)Do not use any cleaner that contains
an abrasive substance or is acidic or
alkaline. Doing so could cause the coating
on the wheels to peel or become
discoloured or stained.
216)Do not directly apply hot water using a
steam cleaner or by any other means.217)Contact with seawater and road
deicer can cause corrosion. Rinse off such
substances as soon as possible.
IMPORTANT
6)Detergents pollute the environment. Only
wash your vehicle in areas equipped to
collect and treat waste water from this type
of activity.
