SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

240

Dry the less visible parts (e.g. door frames, hood,
headlight frames, etc.) with special care, as water
may stagnate more easily in these areas. Do not
wash the vehicle after it has been left in the sun
or with the hood hot: this may alter the shine of
the paintwork.

NOTE:
Avoid parking under trees; the resin dropped by
trees makes the paintwork go opaque and
increases the possibility of corrosion.
Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned in the
same way as the rest of the vehicle.
If washing the vehicle in a service that moves the
vehicle, for vehicles with automatic
transmissions, proceed with the following
directions:
Ensure that the vehicle is on a flat surface.
Disable the automatic engagement of the
parking brake
Ú
page 89.
With the vehicle stationary, the gear in
NEUTRAL (N) and the brake pedal pressed,
push the START button.

NOTE:
The vehicle will remain in NEUTRAL (N) for
15 minutes before PARK (P) will be engaged
automatically.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 vehicles.

NOTE:

Never use aromatic substances (e.g. gasoline)
or ketones (e.g. acetone) for cleaning the
plastic lenses of the headlights.
When cleaning with a pressure washer, keep
the pressure washer at least eight inches
(20 cm) away from the headlights.
Engine Compartment
At the end of every Winter, wash the engine
compartment thoroughly, taking care not to aim
the jet of water directly at the electronic control
units or at the windshield wiper motors. Have this
operation performed at a specialized workshop

Ú
page 208.

NOTE:
The washing should take place with the engine
cold and the ignition device 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.
INTERIORS
Periodically check the cleanliness of the interior,
beneath the mats, which could cause oxidation of
the sheet metal.
SEATS AND FABRIC PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacuum
cleaner. It is advised to use a moist brush on
velvet upholstery. Rub the seats with a sponge
moistened with a solution of water and neutral
detergent.
Cleaning heat press images on seats —
if equipped:
Due to the color, opacity and wear-resistant
protection with which the heat press images on
some seats are made, they may be subject to
temporary scratching if they are touched by finger
nails, keys, or other hard objects. In such cases,
the visible signs do not impair the profiled
images, and can easily be removed by wiping the
affected area with a microfiber cloth moistened
with water (not dry) to restore the seat to its
original condition. The microfiber cloth must not
have been previously soaked in other substances
or detergents.
CAUTION!
Wipe the rear window inside gently with a
cloth following the direction of the filaments to
avoid damaging the heating device.
