CLEANING VELVET SEATS
AND FABRICS
– Remove dust with a soft brush
and vacuum cleaner. Use a moist
brush to clean velvet upholstery.
– Brush the seats with a damp
sponge with water and a neutral
soap.CLEANING LEATHER SEATS
– Remove the dry dirt with a
chamois leather or very slightly
moist loth without exerting too
much pressure.
– Remove liquid or grease stains
with a dry absorbent cloth without
rubbing. Then wipe with a chamois
leather or soft cloth moistened with
water and neutral soap. If the stain
does not come out, use a special
cleaning compound being particu-
larly careful to follow the instruc-
tions for use.
IMPORTANTNever use alcohol or
alcohol-based products.STEERING 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
cleaning interiors, read carefully label
instructions 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 re-
move them immediately and then
clean with water and neutral soap.
IMPORTANT Take the utmost care
when engaging the steering lock to
prevent scratching the leather cover-
ing. Upholstery of your car
has been designed to with-
stand wear deriving from
common use of the car. You are
however recommended to avoid
strong and/or continuous scratch-
ing with clothing accessories such
as metallic buckles, studs, Velcro
fastenings and the like, since these
items cause circumscribed stress
of the cover fabric that could lead
to yarn breaking, and damage the
cover as a consequence.

RIMS AND TYRES
Alloy rims or steel.
Tubeless tyres with radial carcass.
The homologated tyres are listed in
the log book.
IMPORTANTIn the event of dis-
crepancies between information
given in the Owner Handbook and
that shown in the Log Book, refer to
the latter one.
To ensure safety of the car in
movement, it must be fitted with
tyres of specified size and of the
same make and type on all wheels.
IMPORTANTDo not use inner
tubes with tubeless tyres. CORRECT TYRE READING
Below, please find the instructions
needed to understand the meaning
of the code stamped on the tyre, as
shown in fig. 6.
The code may be in one of the ways
given in the example.
Example:
225/50 R 17 94 W
or
225/50 ZR 17 94W

L0A0257b
225= Nominal width (S, distance
in mm between sides)
50= Percentage height/width
ratio (H/S)
R= Radial tyre
ZR= Radial tyre, with speed over
240 km/h
17= Rim diameter in inches (Ø)
94= Load index (capacity)
W= Maximum speed index.
