PLASTIC PARTS
Should it be necessary to remove dust,
dirt, etc. from the surface of the light u-
nits (and/or direction indicators) only use
a solution of neutral soap and water and
a soft cloth.
Absolutely never use chemical solvents
and/or petroleum derivatives such as
petrol, methylated spirits, ammonia, ace-
tone, etc. which could spoil the material
and reduce its transparency, adversely af-
fecting travelling safety.
For internal plastic parts use specific
products to preserve the appearance of
the components.
I.C.S. MASK AND CENTRAL
CONSOLE
Remove finger prints with common alco-
hol-free water and surfactants glass deter-
gent. Rub surfaces with a clean cotton
rag moistened with detergent.
Never use spirit or
petrol to clean the glass
on the instrument panel.
Do not keep aerosol cans
in the car. There is the
risk they might explode. Aerosol
cans must never be exposed to a
temperature above 50°C. The tem-
perature inside the car might go
well beyond that figure when ex-
posed to the sun’s rays.
WARNINGSTEERING WHEEL/GEAR LEVER
KNOB WITH GENUINE
LEATHER COVERING
These components shall only be cleaned
with water and neutral soap. Never use
spirit or alcohol-based products.
Before using special products for clean-
ing interiors, read carefully label instruc-
tions and indications to make sure they
are free from spirit and/or alcohol-based
substances.
If when cleaning the windscreen with
special glass products, some drops fall on
the leather covering of the steering
wheel/gear lever knob remove them im-
mediately and then clean with water and
neutral soap.
IMPORTANTTake the utmost care
when engaging the steering lock to pre-
vent scratching the leather covering.
