MAINTENANCE
AND CARE
Engine compartment
At the end of every winter, wash the
engine compartment thoroughly, tak-
ing care not to aim the jet of water di-
rectly at the electronic control units or
at the windscreen wiper motors. Have
this operation performed at a spe-
cialised workshop.
IMPORTANT Perform this operation
on a cold engine and with the key at
STOP
. After the washing operation,
make sure that the various protections
(e.g. rubber caps and guards) have
not removed or damaged.
Never use flammable
products, such as petrol
ether or rectified petrol to clean in-
side the car. The electrostatic
charges which are generated by
rubbing during the cleaning oper-
ation may cause a fire.
WARNING
INTERIORS
Periodically check that water is not
trapped under the mats (due to water
dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.)
which could cause oxidisation of the
sheet metal.
CLEANING SEATS AND FABRIC
PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a
vacuum cleaner. It is advisable to use
a moist brush on velvet upholstery.
Rub the seats with a sponge moist-
ened with a solution of water and
neutral detergent.
INTERIOR PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior parts
with a moist cloth and a solution of
water and mild soap. Use specific
products for cleaning plastic, without
solvents and specifically designed to
prevent damage to the appearance
and colour of the treated parts to re-
move grease and tough stains.
IMPORTANT Never use spirit or pe-
troleum to clean the instrument panel.
