❒wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy solution over the
bodywork, frequently rinsing the sponge;
❒rinse well with water and dry with a jet of air or
a chamois leather.
Dry the less visible parts particularly carefully, such as
the door frames, bonnet and the headlight frames,
where water may stagnate more easily. It is a good idea
to leave the vehicle outdoors for a while after washing it
to give the water time to evaporate.
Do not wash the vehicle after it has been left in the sun
or with the bonnet hot: this may alter the shine of the
paintwork.
Exterior plastic parts should be cleaned in the same way
as the rest of the vehicle.
Where possible, do not park the vehicle under trees;
the resinous substances released by many species give
the paint a dull appearance and increase the possibility
of rust.
To protect the paint more effectively, polish
occasionally with special protective waxes; when the
paint tends to cloud because of a build-up of smog,
polish with slightly abrasive protective waxes.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be washed off
immediately and carefully as the acid they contain is
particularly aggressive. VEHICLE BODY AND UNDERBODY
WARRANTY
Your vehicle is covered by warranty against perforation
due to rust of any original element of the structure or
body.
For the general terms of this warranty, refer to the
Warranty Booklet.
ADVICE FOR PRESERVING THE BODYWORK
Paint
Paintwork does not only serve an aesthetic purpose, but
also protects the underlying sheet metal. Touch up
abrasions and scratches immediately to prevent rust
formation. Use only original paint products for touch-
ups (see “Bodywork paint identification plate” in the
“Technical specifications” section). Normal maintenance
of paintwork consists in washing the car: the frequency
depends on the conditions and environment where the
car is used. For example, it is advisable to wash the
vehicle more often in areas with high levels of
environmental pollution or on roads spread with salt.
To correctly wash the vehicle proceed as follows:
❒remove the aerial from the roof to prevent damage
to it if the vehicle is washed in an automatic system;
❒wash the body using a low pressure jet of water;

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.

INTERIOR PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior parts with a moist cloth
and a solution of water and mild soap. Use specific
products for cleaning plastic, without solvents and
specifically designed to prevent damage to the
appearance and colour of the treated parts to remove
grease and tough stains.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol or petroleum to clean
the instrument panel.
LEATHER STEERING WHEEL/GEAR KNOB
These components must be cleaned with mild soap and
water only.
Never use alcohol and/or alcohol-based products.
Before using off-the-shelves products designed for
cleaning car interiors, make sure that they do not
contain alcohol and/or alcohol based substances before
using them.
If window cleaner accidentally drips onto the steering
wheel or gear lever knob, wipe away immediately and
then wash the affected area with mild soap and water.
IMPORTANT Be careful when using a steering wheel
lock device, where applicable, to prevent damaging the
leather upholstery by rubbing. 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.
The fabric upholstery of your vehicle is
designed to withstand the normal wear
and tear of your vehicle for a long time.
You are however recommended to avoid strong
and/or continuous scratching with clothing
accessories such as metal buckles, studs, Velcro
fastenings and the like, as these items cause stress
of the cover fabric that could lead threads to
break and damage the upholstery.
