Cleaning the vehicle

Cleaning the exterior
Proper care of the vehicle on the part of the owner is essential for the
vehicle long life.
Below is a list of the main precautions to be taken.
• Certain parts of the vehicle should not be left wet or dirty for long
periods of time, particularly, the passenger and luggage compartment
ERRARI
floors, which should always be clean and dry. The draining holes
under the doors should be kept unclogged to allow any water to
drain.
• The underbody and the lower surfaces of the vehicle should be
cleaned regularly, and more frequently (at least once a week) if the
vehicle is used on salty or rough roads. The vehicle should be cleaned
thoroughly and carefully: cleaning in a way that only wets encrusted
mud without removing it completely may damage the bodywork.
• The vehicle must be washed regularly with suitable equipment. Do
not use very hot water or steam to clean the paint or the lower
surfaces.
It is advisable to soften any dirt first and then remove it with a jet of
water at room temperature.
• Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight or when the bodywork is
still warm.
• Ensure that the jet of water does not strike against the paintwork too
hard.
• Wash the vehicle with a sponge and a solution of mild soap and water.
• Rinse the vehicle again with a jet of water and dry it with a piece of
chamois leather.
When the vehicle has been washed, apply slight pressure
to the brake pedal at moderate speed before driving at a
normal speed, until the brake discs and pads have cleaned off.
