Periodically check for water puddles under the mats that could cause
the panels to rust.
SEATS AND FABRIC PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. It is advis-
able to use a moist brush on velvet upholstery. Wipe the seats with
a sponge soaked in a solution of neutral detergent and water.
LEATHER SEATS
(on request for versions/markets, where provided)
Remove the dry dirt with a buckskin or slightly damp cloth, with-
out exercising too much pressure.
Remove liquid or oil stains using a dry absorbent cloth, without rub-
bing. Then clean with a soft cloth or buckskin cloth dampened with
water and neutral soap.
If the stain persists, use specific products and observe the instruc-
tions carefully.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol. Make sure that the cleaning prod-
ucts used contain no alcohol or alcohol derivatives, even in small
quantities.
PLASTIC PARTS AND COVERS
Clean interior plastic parts with a damp cloth (if possible made from
microfibre), and a solution of water and neutral, non-abrasive de-
tergent. To clean oily or persistent stains, use specific products free
from solvents and designed to maintain the original appearance
and colour of the components.
Remove any dust using a microfibre cloth, if necessary moistened
with water. The use of paper tissues is not recommended as these
may leave residues.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol or petrol to clean the glass on the
instrument panel or other plastic parts.

Maximum speed index
Q = up to 160 km/h.H = up to 210 km/h.
R = up to 170 km/h.V = up to 240 km/h.
S = up to 180 km/h.W = up to 270 km/h.
T = up to 190 km/h.Y = up to 300 km/h.

HOW TO READ RIM MARKINGS fig. 174
Example: 7J x 16 H2 ET 41
7 = rim diameter in inches (1).
J=rim drop centre outline (side projection where the tyre bead
rests) (2).
16 = rim nominal diameter in inches (corresponds to diameter
of the tyre to be mounted) (3 = Ø).
H2 = shape and number of humps (used for withholding tubeless
tyre beads on the rim).
ET 41 = wheel camber angle (distance between the disc/rim sup-
porting plane and the wheel rim centre line).
RIM PROTECTORS fig. 175
DO NOT fit wheel cups when using integral cups
fixed (with springs) to the steel rim and tyres oth-
er than factory-fitted tyres provided with Rim Pro-
tector (fig. 175). Use of unsuitable tyres and wheel cups
may cause sudden loss of tyre pressure.
