BODY AND UNDERBODY WARRANTY
Your car is covered by warranty against
perforation due to corrosion of any original
element of the structure or body.
For the general terms of this warranty, refer to
your Warranty Booklet.
PRESERVING THE BODYWORK
Paint
Touch up abrasions and scratches immediately to
prevent the formation of rust.
Maintenance of paintwork consists of washing the
car: the frequency depends on the conditions
and environment where the car is used. For
example, in highly polluted areas, or if the roads
are spread with salt, it is advisable to wash the car
more frequently.
To correctly wash the car, proceed as follows:
❒remove the aerial from the roof to prevent
damage to it if the car is washed in an
automatic system;
❒if high pressure jets or cleaners are used to wash
the car, keep a distance of at least 40 cm from
the bodywork to avoid damage or alteration.
It should be remembered that the build up
of water can damage the car over a period of
time;
❒wash the body using a low pressure jet of water;❒wipe the bodywork using a sponge with a
slightly soapy solution, frequently rinsing the
sponge;
❒rinse well with water and dry with a jet of air or
a chamois leather.
Dry the less visible parts (e.g. door frames,
bonnet, headlight frames etc.) with special care, as
water may stagnate more easily in these areas.
The car should not be taken to a closed area
immediately, but left outside so that residual water
can evaporate.
Do not wash the car after it has been left in the
sun or with the bonnet hot: this may alter the
shine of the paintwork.
Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned in the same
way as the rest of the car.
Avoid parking under trees as much as possible; the
resin from trees dulls the paintwork and increases
the possibility of corrosion.

IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be washed off
immediately and thoroughly as the acid they
contain is particularly aggressive.
Detergents pollute the environment.
Only wash your car in areas equipped
to collect and treat wastewater from
this type of activity.In order to preserve the aesthetic
properties of the paintwork, abrasive
products and/or polishes should not be
used to clean the car.Windows
Use specific detergents and clean cloths to prevent
scratching 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 heating
device.
Front headlights
Use a soft, damp 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 the car with a
pressure washer, keep the water jet at least 2 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 washing, make sure that the
various protective devices (e.g. rubber caps and
guards) have not been removed or damaged.

INTERIORSPeriodically check for water puddles under the
mats that could cause the panels to rust.
WARNING
Never use flammable products, such
as petrol ether or rectified petrol to
clean the inside of the car. The electrostatic
charges which are generated by rubbing
during the cleaning operation may cause a
fire.
WARNING
Do not keep aerosol cans in the car:
they might explode. Aerosol cans
must not be exposed to a temperature
exceeding 50°C. When the car is exposed to
sunlight, internal temperature can greatly
exceed this value.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 and a solution of
water and mild soap.
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.
IMPORTANT Never use spirits or petroleum to
clean the instrument panel.
