IMPORTANT
Avoid parking under trees; the resin
dropped by trees makes the paintwork
go opaque and increases the possibility
of corrosion.
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.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window
inside gently with a cloth following the
direction of the filaments to avoid
damaging the heating device.
Front headlights
Use a soft cloth soaked in water and
detergent for washing cars.
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic
substances (e.g. petrol) or ketenes (e.g.
acetone) for cleaning the plastic lenses
of the front headlights.
IMPORTANT When cleaning with a
pressure washer, keep the water jet at
least 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 windscreen wiper motors. Have this
operation performed at a specialised
workshop.
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.
IMPORTANT
6) Detergents cause water pollution.
Only wash your car in areas
equipped to collect and treat
wastewater from this type
of activity.
IMPORTANT
38) In order to preserve the aesthetic
appearance of the paint abrasive
products and/or polishes should
not be used for cleaning the car.
217
Page 222 of 288
39) Avoid washing with rollers
and/or brushes in washing
stations. Wash the car 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 car. Bird droppings must
be washed off immediately and
thoroughly as the acid they
contain is particularly aggressive.
Avoid (if at all possible) parking
the car 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 opacity
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.INTERIORS
155) 156) 157)
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 advisable to use a
moist brush on velvet upholstery. Rub
the seats with a sponge moistened with
a solution of water and neutral
detergent.
LEATHER SEATS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Remove the dry dirt with a slightly
damp buckskin or cloth, without
exercising too much pressure. Remove
any liquid or grease stains using an
absorbent dry cloth, without rubbing.
Then clean with a soft cloth or buckskin
cloth dampened with water and mild
soap. If the stain persists, use specific
products and observe the instructions
carefully.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol. Make
sure that the cleaning products used
contain no alcohol or alcohol
derivatives, even in small quantities.PLASTIC AND COATED
PARTS
Clean interior plastic parts with a damp
cloth (if possible made from microfibre),
and a solution of water and neutral,
non-abrasive detergent. To clean oily or
persistent stains, use specific products
free from solvents and designed to
maintain the original appearance and
colour of the components.
Remove any dust using a microfibre
cloth, if necessary moistened with
water. The use of paper tissues is not
recommended as these may leave
residues.
40)
LEATHER PARTS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Use only water and mild soap to clean
these parts. Never use alcohol or
alcohol-based products. Before using a
specific product for cleaning interiors,
make sure that it does not contain
alcohol and/or alcohol-based
substances.
