Windows
Use specific detergents and clean cloths to
prevent scratching or altering the transpar-
ency.
CAUTION!
Wipe the rear window inside gently with a
cloth following the direction of the filaments
to avoid damaging the heating device.
Front Headlights
Use a soft cloth soaked in water and detergent
for washing cars.
NOTE:
Never use aromatic substances (e.g. gaso-
line) or ketones (e.g. acetone) for cleaning
the plastic lenses of the headlights.
When cleaning with a pressure washer,
keep the pressure washer at least eight
inches (20 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 windshield wiper
motors. Have this operation performed at a
specialized workshop. Refer to "Pressure
Washing" in "Engine Compartment" for further
information.
NOTE:
The washing should take place with the engine
cold and the ignition device in the STOP posi-
tion. After the washing operation, make sure
that the various protections (e.g. rubber caps
and guards) have not been removed or
damaged.
INTERIORS
Periodically check the cleanliness of the inte-
rior, beneath the mats, which could cause
oxidation of the sheet metal.
Seats And Fabric Parts
Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacuum
cleaner. Rub the seats with a sponge moist-
ened with a solution of water and neutral
detergent.
Cleaning heat press images on seats — if
equipped:
Due to the color, opacity and wear-resistant
protection with which the heat press images
on some seats are made, they may be subject
to temporary scratching if they are touched by
finger nails, keys, or other hard objects. In
such cases, the visible signs do not impair the
profiled images, and can easily be removed by
wiping the affected area with a microfiber
cloth moistened with water (not dry) to restore
the seat to its original condition. The micro-
fiber cloth must not have been previously
soaked in other substances or detergents.
Leather Seats
Remove the dry dirt with a chamois or slightly
damp cloth, without exerting too much pres-
sure.
Remove any liquid or grease stains using an
absorbent dry cloth, without rubbing. Then
clean with a soft cloth or buckskin cloth damp-
ened with water and mild soap. If the stain
persists, use specific products and observe
the instructions carefully.
NOTE:
Never use alcohol. Make sure that the
cleaning products used contain no alcohol or
alcohol derivatives, even in small quantities.
Plastic And Coated Parts
Clean interior plastic parts with a damp cloth
(if possible made from microfiber), and a solu-
tion of water and neutral, non-abrasive deter-
gent.
To clean oily or persistent stains, use specific
products free from solvents and designed to
maintain the original appearance and color of
the components.
Remove any dust using a microfiber cloth, if
necessary moistened with water. The use of
paper tissues is not recommended as these
may leave residues.
