Windows and rear window
To clean the windows, use special
detergents.
Only use clean cloths so as not to
scratch the windows or make them
less transparent.
WARNING: In order not to damage
the electric elements fi tted inside
the heated rear window, rub gently
following the direction of the
elements.
WARNING: When cleaning the
transparent plastic covers of the
headlights, never use aromatic
compounds (e.g. petrol) or ketones
(e.g. acetone).
Cleaning the soft top
The functional and aesthetic lifetime
of the soft top depends on proper
care and appropriate use.
Improper handling and use may
compromise the soft top effi ciency.
Normally, the soft top does not need
be washed every time the vehicle is
washed. It is usually suffi cient to rinse
it with water.
We recommend that you clean and
wash light colour soft tops with
the greatest care and frequently.
In addition, dirt will be much more
visible on light colour soft tops rather
than on dark ones, therefore we
recommend that you only use specifi c
products for soft top treatment,
which you can buy from the Maserati
Service Network.
Washing
Do not use high-pressure
cleaning systems to wash the
soft top.
WARNING: Use water and soft
brushes; do not use hard-bristle
brushes.
It is always advisable to handwash the
soft top with the vehicle parked in the
shade and to avoid exposure to the
sun.
- Remove the dirt residues using a
vacuum cleaner.
- Thoroughly rinse the canvas with
water and a neutral shampoo
specifi cally designed for soft tops.
WARNING: Do not use solvents,
alcohol, petrol or generic detergents
to clean the soft top.
- Let the product act for a few
minutes.
- Then rinse thoroughly until all
traces of foam have been removed.
- Let the canvas dry.
