Interior trim maintenance
INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE (1/2)
A well-maintained vehicle will have a
longer service life. It is therefore ad -
visable to maintain the vehicle interior
regularly.
Stains should always be dealt with
quickly. Whatever type of stain is on
the trim, use soapy water (if possible,
warm water) containing:
Do not use detergents (washing up
liquid, powdered products, alcohol -
based products, etc.).
Use a soft cloth.
Glass instrument panel(e.g.: instrument panel, clock, exterior
temperature display, radio display).
Use a soft cloth or cotton wool.
If this does not clean it properly, use a
soft cloth (or cotton wool) slightly mois-
tened with soapy water and then wipe
clean with a soft damp cloth or cotton
wool.
Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry
cloth.
Cleaning products containing alco -
hol must not be used under any cir-
cumstances.
Seat belts
These must be kept clean.
Use products selected by our Technical
Department (Approved outlets) or
warm, soapy water and a sponge and
wipe with a dry cloth.
Detergents or dyes must not be used
under any circumstances.
Fabrics (seats, door trim,
etc.)
Dust fabrics regularly.
Liquid stains
Use soapy water. Absorb or dab lightly
(never rub) using a soft cloth, then rinse
and absorb the excess water.
Solid or thick stains
Remove any excess solid or thick ma-
terial immediately and carefully using
a spatula (from the edge inwards to
avoid spreading the stain).
Clean using the procedure for a liquid
stain.
Special instructions for sweets or
chewing gum
Put an ice cube on the stain to solidify
it, then proceed as for a solid stain.
For advice on interior maintenance
and/or on unsatisfactory results,
contact an approved dealer.
