CARE OF THE VEHICLE
195
●
Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight.
●
Only wash the vehicle when the bodywork and engine are cold.
●
Do not apply stickers to the bodywork.
●
Any areas that are cracked or chipped by stones, scratches or
parking manoeuvres, etc., must be immediately repaired by the
Ferrari Service Network.
Important note
DO NOT lean against the vehicle especially if you are wearing clothes
with buttons, buckles or are wearing rings, necklaces, etc. This may
cause irreparable damage to the bodywork.
Important note
To use suitable products, contact the Ferrari Service Network.
Cleaning of protective anti stone-chipping film (optional)
The film has been designed to protect the bodywork: anything that
damages the paint will also damage the film.
Warning
Do not pour denatured ethyl alcohol, acetone, isopropyl alcohol,
heptane or substances that contain these compounds on the film.
●
Do not apply adhesive elements on the film.
●
When cleaning, do not use metal or abrasive substances in general
and acid chemical compounds.
Important note
Avoid the film coming into contact with the brake fluid: the film will
become opaque.
●
Do not use solvents along the edges of the film to prevent them
penetrating the adhesive layer.
Important note
Nürburgring Silver, Avus White, Alloy Grey, Met Avio, Ivory, Met
Light Blue, Met Sky-Blue and Fuji White vehicles must be washed
every month and waxed at least twice a year so that dirt, acid rain,
pollutants, etc. do not penetrate the pores of the film and cause it to
tarnish.
Important note
We recommend that the film be replaced every 24 months for
Nürburgring Silver, Avus White, Alloy Grey, Met Avio, Ivory, Met
Light Blue, Met Sky-Blue and Fuji White vehicles, which may show
a light visible tarnish due to dirt inside the pores of the film.
It should be noted that timely and accurate cleaning (monthly washing
and waxing twice a year at least) will prevent deterioration of the film.
Cleaning the interior
Cleaning and care of the leather upholstery
As indicated in the “Maintenance Schedule” (see the “Warranty
Booklet”), proper and regular treatment, at least once a year, will help
preserve the quality, natural characteristics and softness of the leather
upholstery in your Ferrari.
