2009 Alfa Romeo Brera/Spider height adjustment

Upholstery of your car
has been designed to
withstand wear deriv-
ing from common use of the car.
You are however recommended
to avoid strong and/or contin-
uous scratching with clothing ac-
cessories such as metallic buck-
les, studs, Velcro fastenings and
the like, since these items cause
circumscribed stress of the cov-
er fabric that could lead to yarn
breaking, and damage the cov-
er as a consequence.
