INTERIORS
Periodically check that water is not trap-
ped under the mats (due to water drip-
ping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.) which could
cause oxidisation of the sheet metal.
CLEANING SEATS AND FABRIC
PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a va-
cuum cleaner. It is advisable to use a moi-
st brush on velvet upholstery.
Rub the seats with a sponge moistened
with a solution of water and neutral de-
tergent.
LEATHER SEATS
Remove dry dirt with a moist chamois
leather or cloth without pressing too hard.
Remove stains of liquid or grease with a
dry absorbing cloth. Do not rub. Then wi-
pe with a soft cloth or chamois leather
dipped in water and mild soap.
Use specific products for persistent stains
paying attention to instructions for use.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol. Make
sure that the products used do not con-
tain alcohol or derivates, even in low con-
centrations. INTERIOR PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior parts with
a moist cloth and a solution of water and
mild soap. Use specific products for clea-
ning plastic, without solvents and specifi-
cally designed to prevent damage to the
appearance and colour of the treated parts
to remove grease and tough stains.
IMPORTANT Never use spirit or petro-
leum to clean the instrument panel tran-
sparent cover or other plastic parts.
Do not keep aerosol cans in
the car: risk of explosion. Ae-
rosol cans must not be exposed to a
temperature exceeding 50°C. When
the vehicle is exposed to sunlight, in-
ner temperature can greatly exceed
this value.
WARNING
The fabric upholstery of your
car is designed to withstand
the normal wear and tear of
your car for a long time. So-
me precautions are however needed.
Avoid prolonged rubbing against
clothing accessories, such as metal
buckles, Velcro strips and the like, whi-
ch by applying a high pressure on the
fabric in a small area could cause the
breakage of some threads and damage
the upholstery.
LEATHER STEERING
WHEEL/GEAR KNOB
These components must be cleaned with
mild soap and water only. Never use spi-
rit and/or alcohol based products. Read
the product label carefully before using
specific products for cleaning the interiors:
make sure the product does not contain
alcohol or alcohol based substances.
If window cleaner accidentally drips onto
the steering wheel or gear lever knob, wi-
pe away immediately and then wash the
concerned area with mild soap and water.
IMPORTANT Be careful when arranging
a steering wheel lock device, where ap-
plicable, to prevent damaging the leather
upholstery by rubbing.
