– After cleaning your vehicle, check
the brakes while driving at low speed
to ensure that the braking efficiency
has not been reduced by the water.
If it has, depress the brake pedal
gently while driving to dry the brakes.
– Check the drain holes at the bottom
of the doors to make sure they are
not blocked.
– Inspect the wheels regularly to check
for any traces of impacts or corro -
sion. These can damage the tyre or
cause it to lose pressure.
– Keep well away from the vehicle in
front when driving on gravelled sur -
faces to prevent paint damage.
– Repair, or have repaired quickly,
patches where the paint has been
damaged to prevent corrosion
spreading. –
Remember to visit the body shop pe-
riodically in order to maintain your
anticorrosion warranty. Refer to the
Maintenance Service Booklet.
– Spray mechanical components,
hinges, etc. with products approved
by the Technical Department to
protect them after they have been
cleaned.

Removing/refitting factory
fitted removable equipment
in the vehicle
If you need to remove equipment to
clean the passenger compartment (e.g.
mats), always make you refit it properly
and on the correct side (driver’s side
mats must be fitted on the driver’s side,
etc.), using retaining components sup-
plied with the equipment (e.g. the driv-
er’s side mat must always be secured
using prefitted retaining devices).
In all cases, with the vehicle stationary,
ensure that nothing can hinder driving
(obstacle underneath the pedals, heel
trapped by the mat, etc.).
What you should not do
You are strongly advised not to place
items such as air fresheners, perfume
etc. near the air vents as these could
damage the dashboard fittings.
INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE (2/2)
You are strongly recom -
mended not to use high -
pressure or spray cleaning
equipment inside the pas -
senger compartment: this equip -
ment could impair the correct func-
tioning of the electrical or electronic
components in the vehicle, or have
other detrimental effects.

checked by your Dealer to ensure that it is safe to use.
Vehicles fitted with an emergency spare wheel which is different to
the four other wheels:
– Never fit more than one emergency spare wheel to the same vehicle.
– Replace the emergency spare wheel as soon as possible with a wheel identi -
cal to the original one.
– When this is fitted to the vehicle, which must only be a temporary measure, the
driving speed must not exceed the speed indicated on the label on the wh\
eel.
– Fitting an emergency spare wheel may alter the way the vehicle usually runs.
Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration and reduce your speed when cor-
nering.
– If you need to use snow chains, fit the emergency spare wheel to the rear axle
and check the tyre pressure.
