PRESERVING THE BODYWORK
Paint
24) 25)
6)
Touch up abrasions and scratches
immediately.
Maintenance of paintwork consists of
washing the car: the frequency depends
on the conditions and environment
where the car is used.
For example, in highly polluted areas, or
if the roads are spread with salt, it is
advisable to wash the car more
frequently.
To correctly wash the car, proceed as
follows:
❒ wash the bodywork using a low
pressure jet of water. It should be
remembered that the build up of water
can damage the car over a period of time;
❒ use a sponge to wipe a slightly soapy
solution over the bodywork, frequently
rinsing the sponge;
❒ rinse well with water and dry with a jet
of air or leather pad.
When drying take care to dry the least
exposed parts where the water could
collect most easily. 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 tailgate 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.
IMPORTANT NOTES
❒ Avoid parking under trees as much as
possible; the resin from trees dulls the
paintwork.
❒ 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.
Front headlights
Use a soft cloth soaked in water and
detergent for washing cars.
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic
substances (e.g.: petrol) or ketones
(e.g.: acetone) for cleaning front
headlight plastic lens.
IMPORTANT When cleaning the car with
a pressure washer, keep the water jet at
least 20 cm away from the headlights.
Engine compartment
At the end of the winter the engine
compartment should be carefully
washed, without directing the jet against
any electronic control unit. Have this
operation performed at a specialised
workshop.

117
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.
6)Detergents pollute water. Only wash
your vehicle in areas equipped to collect
and treat wastewater from this type of
activity.
WARNING
24)In order to preserve the aesthetic
appearance of the paint abrasive
products and/or polishes should not be
used for cleaning the car.
25)Avoid washing with rollers and/or
brushes in washing stations. Wash the
vehicle 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 vehicle. Bird droppings must be
washed off immediately and thoroughly
as the acid they contain is particularly
aggressive. Avoid (if at all possible)
parking the vehicle 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 opaqueness of
the paint. Do not use pure windscreen
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.
IMPORTANT
INTERIOR
130) 131)
Periodically check the cleanliness of the
interiors, beneath the mats, also to
prevent damage to carbon parts.
To remove and reposition the mats in the
passenger compartment, proceed as
follows:
❒ undo the screws with folding ring 1
fig. 103, driver side and passenger side;
❒ separate the Velcro fabric strips 2 in
the front area under the mats, lifting
them from the floor.
Reposition the mats on the floor, making
sure that the holes at the back of the
mats coincide with the screw housings on
the floor.
