Engine compartment
At the end of each winter
season, carefully wash the engine
compartment, remembering to not
direct the jet of water for too long
directly on the ECUs and on the relay
and fuse boxes on the right-hand side
of the engine compartment (driving
direction). To perform this operation,
you must contact a specialised
workshop.
WARNING: Wash only when
the engine is cold and with the
ignition key turned to STOP. After
washing, make sure that the various
protections (e.g. rubber boots/caps,
guards etc.) have not been removed
or damaged.
