MAINTENANCE AND CARE

188

caps) have not been removed or

damaged.

68)

Abrasive products and/or polishes

should not be used for cleaning the car.

Bird droppings must be washed off

immediately and thoroughly as the acid

they contain is particularly aggressive.

Avoid parking the vehicle under trees

(unless it is absolutely necessary). Remove

any resinous plant matter immediately

because, once it has dried, it may require

the use of abrasive and/or polishing

products to be removed, which are

strongly discouraged as they could

potentially alter the characteristics

of the paintwork. Do not use pure

windscreen washer fluid for cleaning

the front windscreen and rear window;

dilute it min. 50% with water. Only use

pure screen washer fluid when strictly

necessary due to outside temperature

conditions. Do not use chemicals/acids to

defrost windows/vehicle glass as they can

damage the paint.

69)

Avoid washing with rollers and/or

brushes in washing stations. Wash

the car only by hand using neutral pH

detergents; dry it with a wet chamois

leather. Abrasive products and/or polishes

should not be used for cleaning the car.

Bird droppings must be washed off

immediately and thoroughly as the acid

they contain is particularly aggressive.

Avoid (if at all possible) parking the car

under trees; remove vegetable resins

immediately as, when dried, it may only be

possible to remove them with abrasive

products and/or polishes, which is highly

inadvisable as they could alter the typical

opaqueness of the paint. Do not use pure

windscreen washer fluid for cleaning

the front windscreen and rear window;

dilute it min. 50% with water. Only use

pure screen washer fluid when strictly

necessary due to external temperature

conditions. Do not use chemicals/acids to

defrost windows/car glass as they can

damage the paint.

70)

A high pressure jet cleaner should

not be used for cleaning the engine

compartment. The appropriate

precautions have been taken to protect all

parts and connections, but the pressures

generated by these devices are so high

that complete protection against water

seepages cannot be guaranteed.

6)

Detergents pollute the water. The

vehicle should be washed in areas

equipped for collecting and purifying the

liquid used in the washing process.

INTERIOR

Periodically check for water puddles

under the mats that could cause the

panels to rust.

165) 166) 167)

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

moistened with a solution of water and

neutral detergent.

PLASTIC AND COATED

PARTS

71)

Clean interior plastic parts with a damp

cloth (if possible made from microfibre),

and a solution of water and neutral,

non-abrasive detergent. To clean oily or

persistent stains, use specific products

free from solvents and designed to

maintain the original appearance and

colour of the components.
Remove any dust using a microfibre

cloth, if necessary moistened with

water. The use of paper tissues is not

recommended as these may leave

residues.

189

LEATHER PARTS

(for versions/markets, where provided)
Use only water and mild soap to clean

these parts. Never use alcohol or

alcohol-based products.
Before using a specific product for

cleaning interiors, make sure that it

does not contain alcohol and/or alcohol

based substances.

165)

ever 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.

166)

Do not keep aerosol cans in the car:

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.

167)

It is essential that there is nothing

under the pedals: make sure the mats are

lying flat and do not get in the way of the

pedals.

71)

Never use alcohol, petrols and

derivatives to clean the instrument panel

lens.

RIMS AND TYRES

PROVIDED

Pressed steel or alloy rims. Tubeless

radial carcass tires. All approved tyres

are listed in the registration document.

WARNING If there are any

discrepancies between the Owner

Handbook and the registration

document, take the information from

the latter. For safe driving, the car must

be fitted with tyres of the same make

and type on all wheels.

WARNING Do not use air chambers

with tubeless tyres.

SNOW CHAINS

Warnings

72)

NOTE Low-profile snow chains with a

maximum projection of 9 mm beyond

the tyre profile can be fitted on 195/65

R15 and 205/55 R16 tyres. 225/45

R17 tyres cannot be fitted with snow

chains.
The use of snow chains should be in

compliance with local regulations of

each country. In certain countries,

tyres marked with code M+S (Mud

and Snow) are considered as winter

equipment; therefore their use is

equivalent to that of the snow chains.
Snow chains can be fitted to the tyres

of the front wheels (drive wheels) only.
Check the tension of the snow chains

after the first few feet/meters have been

driven.
Using snow chains with tyres with non-

original dimensions may damage the

car.
Using different size or type (M+S,

snow, etc.) tyres between front and

rear axle may adversely affect car

handling, with the risk of losing control

of the car and resulting accidents.
Snow chains cannot be fitted

to the space-saver wheel (for

versions/markets, where provided). If a

front tyre is punctured, replace a rear

wheel with the space-saver wheel and

move the rear wheel to the front axle. In

this way, with two normal drive wheels

at the front, snow chains can be fitted.
