Dry the less visible parts (e.g. door
frames, bonnet, headlight frames etc.)
with special care, as water may
stagnate more easily in these areas.
The car should not be taken to a closed
area immediately, but left outside so
that residual water can evaporate.
Do not wash the car after it has been
left in the sun or with the bonnet hot:
this may alter the shine of the
paintwork.

6) Detergents pollute the environment.
Only wash your vehicle in areas equipped
to collect and treat wastewater from this
type of activity.
SEATS AND FABRIC
PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a
vacuum cleaner.
Rub the seats with a sponge moistened
with a solution of water and neutral
detergent.
Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned
in the same way as the rest of the
vehicle.
WARNING To avoid ruining the
upholstery, do not use acetone, acetic
alcohol, denatured ethyl alcohol or
any highly aggressive solvents or
detergents to clean the fabric parts.
Use spotting agents such as isopropyl
alcohol or dry stain removers.
Avoid parking under trees; the resin
dropped by trees makes the paintwork
go opaque and increases the possibility
of corrosion.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings should be
washed off immediately and thoroughly
as the acid they contain is particularly
aggressive.
WARNING
173) Never use flammable products, such
as petrol ether or rectified petrol to clean
the inside of the car. The electrostatic
charges which are generated by rubbing
during the cleaning operation may cause a
fire.
WARNING
69) In order to preserve the aesthetic
appearance of the paint abrasive products
and/or polishes should not be used for
cleaning the vehicle.
174) Do not keep aerosol cans in the
vehicle: they might explode. Aerosol cans
must not be exposed to a temperature
exceeding 50°C. When the vehicle is
exposed to sunlight, the internal
temperature can greatly exceed this value.
