INTERIORSPeriodically check for water puddles under the
mats that could cause the panels to rust.
WARNING
Never use flammable products, such
as petrol ether
or rectified petrol to
clean the inside of the car. The electrostatic
charges which are generated by rubbing
during the cleaning operation may cause a
fire.
WARNING
Do not keep aerosol cans in the car:
they might explode.
Aerosol cans
must not be exposed to a temperature
exceeding 50°C. When the car is exposed to
sunlight, internal temperature can greatly
exceed this value.
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 and a solution of
water and mild soap.PLASTIC AND COATED PARTS
Clean interior plastic parts with a damp cloth (if
possible made from microfibre), and a solution
of water and neutral, non-abrasive detergent. 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 spirits or petroleum to
clean the instrument panel.
LEATHER SEATS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Remove the dry dirt with a buckskin or slightly
damp cloth, without exercising too much pressure.
Remove any liquid or grease stains using an
absorbent dry cloth, without rubbing. 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 instructions
carefully.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol. Make sure that
the cleaning products used contain no alcohol
or alcohol derivatives, even in small quantities.
