Windows
Use specific window cleaner products.
Use also 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
At the end of each winter, thoroughly
wash the engine compartment taking
care not to direct the water jet against
the electronic control units and the
relay/fuse control unit on the left side of
the engine compartment (running
direction). Have this operation
performed at a specialised workshop.
IMPORTANT Perform this operation
on a cold engine and with the key at
STOP. 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 ketenes
(e.g.: acetone) for cleaning front
headlight plastic lens.

EQUIPMENT
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.
Never use flammable
products, such as petrol
ether or rectified petrol to clean
inside the car. The electrostatic
charges which are generated by
rubbing during the cleaning
operation may cause a fire.
Don't 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, inner
temperature can greatly exceed
this value.
CLEANING SEATS AND FABRIC
PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a
vacuum cleaner.
Rub the seats with a sponge moistened
with a solution of water and neutral
detergent.
INTERIOR PLASTIC PARTS
WARNING
It is advisable to clean interior plastic
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 spirit or
petroleum to clean the instrument
panel.
