Cleaning the vehicle
Cleaning the exterior
Proper care of the vehicle on the part of
the owner is essential for a long life of the
vehicle.
Below is a list of the main precautions to be
taken.
• Certain parts of the vehicle should not be
left wet or dirty for long periods of time,
in particular, the passenger and luggage
compartment floors must always be kept
clean and dry. The drain holes under the
doors should be kept unclogged to allow
any water to drain.
• The underbody and the lower surfaces of
the vehicle should be cleaned regularly,
and more frequently (at least once a
week) if the vehicle is used on salty or
rough roads. It is important to clean
every part thoroughly: cleaning that only
wets the vehicle, without removing dirt
or mud completely can prove damaging
to the body.
• The vehicle must be washed regularly
with suitable equipment. Do not use very
hot water or steam on the paintwork or
lower surfaces.
It is advisable to soften any dirt first then
remove it with a jet of water at room
temperature.
• Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight
or when the bodywork is still warm.
• Be careful that the jet of water does not
hit the paintwork too hard.
• Wash the vehicle with a sponge and a
solution of mild soap and water.
• Rinse the vehicle again with a jet of water
and dry it with a piece of chamois leather.
When the vehicle has been washed,
slightly depress the brake pedal at
moderate speed before driving at normal
speed so that the brake discs and pads can
be dried.
In order to maintain the shine of the
paintwork, polish it once or twice a year
with the products recommended by
Ferrari
.
• Any areas that are cracked or chipped as
a result of stones, scratches or parking
manoeuvres, etc. must immediately be
treated by an
Authorised Ferrari
Service Centre.
• Do not park the vehicle in damp and/or
unventilated areas for long periods of
time.
Cleaning the interior - Cleaning and
care of the leather upholstery
Suitable and regular treatment, at least 3-4
times a year, will ensure that the original
quality, natural characteristics and softness
of the leather upholstery in your
Ferrari
is
maintained unaltered over time.
