Advice on care and
maintenance
General recommendations
Observe the following recommendations to avoid
damaging the vehicle.
Exterior
Never use a high-pressure jet wash in the
engine compartment - risk of damaging
the electrical components!
Do not wash the vehicle in bright sunshine or
extremely cold conditions.
When washing the vehicle in an automatic
roller-brush car wash, be sure to lock the
doors and, depending on version, move the
electronic key away and deactivate the
"hands-free" function (Hands-Free Tailgate
Access).
When using a pressure washer, keep the jet
nozzle at a minimum distance of 30 cm from
the vehicle (particularly when cleaning areas
containing chipped paint, sensors or seals).
Promptly clean up any stains containing
chemicals liable to damage the vehicle's
paintwork (including tree resin, bird droppings,
insect secretions, pollen and tar).
Depending on the environment, clean the
vehicle frequently to remove salty deposits
(in coastal areas), soot (in industrial areas)
and mud/salts (in wet or cold areas). These
substances can be highly corrosive.
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop for
advice on removing stubborn stains requiring
special products (such as tar or insect
removers).
Preferably, have paint touch-ups performed by
a dealer or a qualified workshop.
Interior
When washing the vehicle, never use a
water hose or high-pressure jet to clean
the interior.
Liquids carried in cups or other open
containers can spill, presenting a risk of
damage to the instruments and controls and
the controls located on the centre console. Be
vigilant!
To clean instrument panels, touch screens
or other displays, wipe gently with a soft,
dry cloth. Do not use products (e.g. alcohol,
disinfectant) or soapy water directly on these
surfaces - risk of damage!

Practical information07
Bodywork
High-gloss paint
Do not use abrasive products, solvents,
petrol or oil to clean the bodywork.
Never use an abrasive sponge to clean
stubborn stains - risk of scratching the
paintwork!

plastic or rubber parts.
Use a soft cloth and soapy water or a pH
neutral product.
Gently wipe the bodywork with a clean
microfibre cloth.
Apply polish with the vehicle clean and dry.
Comply with the instructions for use stated on
the product.
Decals
(Depending on version)
Do not use a high-pressure washer to
clean the vehicle - risk of damaging or
detaching the decals!
Use a high-flow hose (temperature
between 25°C and 40°C).
Place the jet of water perpendicular to the
surface to be cleaned.
Rinse the vehicle with demineralised water.
Textile
The dashboard, door panels and seats may
contain parts made of textile material.
Maintenance
Do not use aggressive cleaning products
(e.g. alcohol, solvent or ammonia).
Do not use steam-cleaning systems - risk of
affecting the adhesion of the fabrics!
Remove dust from the textile parts
regularly with a dry cloth, soft brush or
vacuum cleaner.
Rub down the textile parts once per year with
a clean, damp cloth. After leaving overnight to
dry, brush with a soft-bristled brush.
Stain removal
Do not rub the stain or it may spread or
you may cause the substance to
penetrate the surface.
Act quickly by reducing the stain from its
edges inwards.
Remove as much substance or solids as
possible using a spoon or spatula, and
remove as much liquid as possible using
absorbent paper.
