WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGESGENERAL WARNINGSTurning on of warning light is accompanied by specific mes-
sage and/or by buzzer sound where provided by instru-
ment panel. These indications are concise and brief and
cautionary and as such must not be considered as ex-
haustive and/or alternative to the information contained
in the Owner Handbook, which shall always be read
through carefully and thoroughly. In case of failure indi-
cation, always refer to the specifications contained in this
chapter.
IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed are divided in-
to two categories: very serious and less serious failures.
Very serious failures are indicated by a repeated and pro-
longed warning “cycle”.
Less serious failures are indicated by a limited “warning”
cycle.
The warning cycle of both failure types can be stopped
by pressing the button MODE. The instrument panel warn-
ing light will stay on until the cause of the failure is elimi-
nated.
For messages relevant to the versions equipped with Dua-
logic gearbox, see the attached Supplement.

INTERIORSRegularly check that water is not trapped under the mats
(due to water dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.), as this
would cause oxidation of the sheet metal.
Never use flammable products, such as
petrol ether or rectified petrol to clean the
car inside. The electrostatic charges which are
generated by rubbing during the cleaning opera-
tion may cause a fire.
WARNING
Do not keep aerosol bottles in the vehicle:
risk of bursting. Aerosol bottles must not
be exposed to a temperature exceeding 50 °C.
When the car is exposed to sunlight, inner tem-
perature can greatly exceed this value.
WARNING
SEATS AND FABRIC PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. It is
advisable to use a moist brush on velvet upholstery.
Rub the seats with a sponge moistened with a solution of
water and neutral detergent.
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 cleaning plastic, without solvents and specifically de-
signed to prevent damage to the appearance and colour
of the treated parts to remove grease and tough stains.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol or petroleum to clean
the instrument panel.
