4.10
Using a roller type car wash
Return the windscreen wiper stalk to
the Park position (refer to the informa-
tion on the “Windscreen washer, wiper”
in Section 1). Check the mounting of
external accessories, additional lights
and mirrors, and ensure that the wiper
blades are secured with adhesive tape.
Remove the radio aerial mast if your
vehicle is fitted with this equipment.
Remember to remove the tape and refit
the antenna after washing.
Observe the vehicle stopping distances
when driving on gravelled surfaces to
prevent paint damage.
Repair, or have repaired quickly, areas
where the paint has been damaged, to
prevent corrosion spreading.
Remember to visit the body shop pe-
riodically in order to maintain your
anti-corrosion warranty. Refer to the
Maintenance Document.
Respect local regulations about wash-
ing vehicles (e.g. do not wash your ve-
hicle on a public highway).
If it is necessary to clean mechani-
cal components, hinges, etc., spray
them with products approved by our
Technical Department to protect them
after they have been cleaned.
BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (2/2)
Cleaning the headlights
As the headlights are made of plastic
“glass”, use a soft cloth or cotton wool
to clean them. If this does not clean
them properly, moisten the cloth with
soapy water, then wipe clean with a soft
damp cloth or cotton wool.
Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry
cloth.
Cleaning products containing alco-
hol must not be used.
Vehicles with a matte paint
finish
This type of paint requires certain pre-
cautions.
Do not do the following
– use wax-based products (polishing);
– rub too hard;
– wash the vehicle in a roller-type car
wash;
– wash the vehicle using a high-pres-
sure device;
– attach stickers to the paintwork (risk
of leaving marks).
You should do the following
Wash the vehicle by hand using plenty
of water, using a soft cloth or a gentle
sponge.
We have selected special products
to care for your vehicle and you can
obtain these from the manufactur-
er’s accessory outlets.
Washing the vehicle
Never wash the engine
compartment, the charging
connection or the traction
battery with a high-pressure jet.
This risks damaging the electric cir-
cuit.
Never wash the vehicle while it is
charging.
Risk of electric shock and a risk to
life.

4.11
Glass instrument panel(e.g. instrument panel, clock, exterior
temperature display, radio display, etc.)
Use a soft cloth (or cotton wool).
If this does not clean it properly, use a
soft cloth (or cotton wool) slightly mois-
tened with soapy water and then wipe
clean with a soft damp cloth or cotton
wool.
Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry
cloth.
Cleaning products containing alco-
hol must not be used under any cir-
cumstances.
Seat belts
These must be kept clean.
Use products selected by our Technical
Department (Approved outlets) or
warm, soapy water and a sponge and
wipe with a dry cloth.
Detergents or dyes must not be used
under any circumstances.
INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE (1/2)
Textiles (seats, door trim, etc)
Vacuum-clean the textiles regularly.
Liquid stain
Use soapy water.
Dab lightly (never rub) with a soft cloth,
rinse and remove the excess.
Solid or pasty stain
Carefully remove the excess solid or
pasty material immediately with a
spatula (working from the edges to the
centre to avoid spreading the stain).
Clean as for a liquid stain.
Special instructions for sweets or
chewing gum
Put an ice cube on the stain to solidify
it, then proceed as for a solid stain.
A well-maintained vehicle will last
longer. It is therefore recommended to
maintain the interior of the vehicle regu-
larly.
A stain should always be dealt with
swiftly.
Whatever type of stain is on the trim,
use
cold (or warm) soapy water with
natural soap.
Detergents (washing-up liquid, pow-
dered products, alcohol-based prod-
ucts) should not be used.
Use a soft cloth.
Rinse and soak up the excess.
For further recommendations for
maintaining the interior, and/or for
any unsatisfactory results, please
see an authorised dealer.

4.12
You are strongly recom-
mended not to use high-
pressure or spray cleaning
equipment inside the pas-
senger compartment: use of such
equipment could impair the correct
functioning of the electrical or elec-
tronic components in the vehicle, or
have other detrimental effects.
INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE (2/2)
You should not:
You are strongly advised not to po-
sition objects such as deodorants,
scents, etc. near air vents, as this could
damage your dashboard trim.
Removal/replacing removable
equipment originally fitted in
the vehicle
If you need to remove equipment in
order to clean the passenger com-
partment (for example, mats), always
ensure that they are correctly refitted
and are the right way around (the driv-
er’s mat should be fitted on the driver’s
side, etc.) and fit them with the compo-
nents supplied with the equipment (for
example, the driver mat should always
be fixed using the pre-fitted mounting
components).
With the vehicle stationary, ensure that
nothing will impede driving (anything
obstructing the pedals, heel wedged by
the mat, etc.).
