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.

GENUINE LEATHER PARTS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Use only water and mild soap to clean
these parts. Never use alcohol or
alcohol-based products. Before using a
specific product for cleaning interiors,
make sure that it does not contain
alcohol and/or alcohol based substances.
WARNING
144)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.145)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 vehicle is exposed to
sunlight, the internal temperature can
greatly exceed this value.
146)There must be no obstacles on the
floor underneath the pedals; make sure that
mats are always flat and do not interfere
with the pedals.
