INTERIORS
Periodically check that water is not trapped under the
mats (due to water dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.)
which could cause oxidisation of the sheet metal.
Detergents pollute the environment.
The vehicle should be washed in areas
equipped for collecting and purifying the
liquid used in the washing process.
Glasses
To clean glasses, use specific window cleaner products.
Also use clean cloths to avoid scratching the glass or
damaging the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window inside gently with
a cloth in the direction of the filaments to avoid
damaging the heating device.
Engine compartment
Wash the engine compartment thoroughly at the end of
every winter. Be careful not to direct the jet of water
onto electronic control units. Adequately protect the
upper air vents to prevent damage to the windscreen
wiper motor. 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.
Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g.:
petrol) or ketones (e.g.: acetone) for cleaning the front
headlight plastic lenses.
Never use flammable products, such as
petrol, ether or rectified petrol, to clean
the vehicle interior. The electrostatic charges
which are generated by rubbing during the
cleaning operation may cause a fire.
WARNING
Do not keep aerosol cans in the vehicle:
risk of explosion Aerosol cans must not
be exposed to a temperature exceeding 50 °C.
When the vehicle is exposed to sunlight, the
internal temperature can greatly exceed this
value.
