Operation Manual

Dry the less visible parts particularly carefully, such
as the door frames, bonnet and the headlight frames,
where water may stagnate more easily. 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.
External plastic parts must be cleaned in the same
way as the rest of the car.
Where possible, do not park under trees; the
resinous substance that many species release give the
paint a dull appearance and increase the possibility
of triggering rusting processes.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be washed off
immediately and thoroughly as the acid they contain
is particularly aggressive.
Detergents pollute the environment.
Therefore the engine compartment should
be washed in areas equipped for
collecting and purifying the liquid used in the
washing process.
Versions with matt paintwork
These versions have exclusive matt paintwork which
requires special care for its preservation. The
instructions for good preservation follow below.
Avoid washing with rollers and/or brushes
in washing stations.Then, wash the car,
only by hand, using pH-neutral 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 opacity
of the paint.
