MAINTENANCE AND CARE
255
Windows
Use specific detergents and clean cloths to prevent scratch-
ing or altering the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the inside surface of the rear window
gently with a cloth in the direction of the filaments to avoid
damaging the heater coils.
Engine compartment
At the end of each winter, thoroughly wash the engine
compartment, taking care to avoid spraying the water jet
directly onto the electronic control units and the relay/fuse
box on the left side of the engine compartment (driving
direction). Have this operation performed at a specialised
workshop.
IMPORTANT The washing should take place with the en-
gine cold and the ign
ition key in the STOP position. After
the washing operation, make sure that the various protec-
tions (e.g. rubber caps and guards) have not been removed
or damaged.Front headlights
Use a soft cloth soaked in water and detergent for wash-
ing cars.
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g. petrol)
or ketones (e.g. acetone) for cleaning the plastic lenses of
the front headlights.
IMPORTANT When cleaning the car with a pressure wash-
er, keep the water jet at least 20 cm away from the head-
lights.
