External plastic parts must be cleaned
with the same procedure followed for
the normal washing of the vehicle.
Avoid, as far as possible, parking the
vehicle under trees; the resinous
substances that very often drop from
the trees give the paint a dull
appearance and increase the
possibility of originating corrosive
processes.
It is important that the drain holes in
the lower sides of the doors, rocker
panels, and trunk bottom be kept
clear and open.
CAUTION!
• Bird droppings must be washed off
immediately and thoroughly, since
their acidity is particularly corrosive.
• To provide better protection for the
paint, polish the vehicle at intervals
with a suitable product leaving a
protective film on the paint.
• If the vehicle is washed using
high-pressure water jets or cleaners,
it is important that the nozzle of the
jet be kept at a distance of at least
40 cm (15.8 in) from the bodywork
to avoid damaging it.
Glass Surfaces
All glass surfaces should be cleaned on
a regular basis with any commercial
household-type glass cleaner.
Never use an abrasive type cleaner.
Use caution when cleaning the inside
rear window equipped with electric
defrosters. Do not use scrapers or
other sharp instrument that may
scratch the elements.
When cleaning the rear view mirror,
spray cleaner on the towel or rag that
you are using. Do not spray cleaner
directly on the mirror.
Labels can be peeled off after soaking
with warm water.
Keep all objects a safe distance from
the window.
Cleaning Headlights
Your vehicle has plastic headlights that
are lighter and less susceptible to
stone breakage than glass headlights.
Plastic is not as scratch resistant as
glass and therefore different lens
cleaning procedures must be followed.
To minimize the possibility of
scratching the lenses and reducing
light output, avoid wiping with a dry
cloth. To remove road dirt, wash with
a mild soap solution followed by
rinsing.
Do not use abrasive cleaning
components, solvents, steel wool or
other aggressive material to clean the
lenses.
Engine Compartment
At the end of each winter season,
carefully wash the engine
compartment, remembering to avoid
directing the jet of water for too long
on the electric parts.
To perform this operation, you must
contact the
Maserati Service Network .
