INTERIOR
143) 144) 145)
Periodically check the cleanliness of the
interior, beneath the mats, which could
cause oxidation of the sheet metal.
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 moistened with a
solution of water and neutral detergent.
CLEANING ALCANTARA SEATS
Alcantara trim can be treated and
cleaned easily in the same way as the
other trims. The same indications given
for cleaning fabrics are also therefore
applicable for this trim.
LEATHER SEATS
(where provided)
Remove the dry dirt with a chamois or
slightly damp cloth, without exerting 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 mild soap. If the stain
persists, use specific products and
observe the instructions carefully.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol. Make
sure that the cleaning products usedcontain no alcohol or alcohol derivatives,
even in small quantities.
PLASTIC AND COATED PARTS
46)
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
(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
143)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.
144)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.
145)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.
IMPORTANT
46)Never use alcohol, petrols and
derivatives to clean the dashboard and
instrument panel lens.

Efficient Drive
(where provided)
The Efficient Drive application allows you
to display your driving behaviour in real
time, in order to help you reach a more
efficient driving style as far as
consumption and emissions are
concerned.
Driving style is evaluated by means of
four indices which monitor the following
parameters: acceleration, deceleration,
gearchange, speed
Display of the Efficient Drive
(where provided)
Press the Efficient Drive button to
interact with the function.
On theUconnect™display, a screen will
appear showing 4 indices: “Acceleration”,
“Deceleration”, “Speed” and “Gear”. These
indices are grey until the system has
enough data to evaluate the driving style.
Once sufficient data are available, the
indices will have 5 colours depending on
the evaluation: dark green (very good),
light green, yellow, orange and red (very
bad).
In the event of extended inactivity the
display will show the average of the
indices up to that moment (“Averageindex”) then the indices will be coloured
again in real time as soon as the vehicle is
restarted.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
WARNING
INTERIOR FITTINGSDo not travel with the storage compartment open: it may injure the front seat occupants in the event of an accident.
The cigar lighter gets extremely hot. Handle it carefully and make sure that children don’t use it: risk of fire and/or burns.
Do not use the ashtray as a waste paper basket: it may catch fire in contact with cigarette stubs.
ROOF RACK/SKI RACKAfter travelling for a few kilometres, check to ensure that the fixing screws for the attachments are well tightened.
Never exceed the maximum permitted loads (see chapter "Technical specifications").
Distribute the load evenly and pay attention to side winds when driving.
ELECTRIC POWER STEERINGBefore starting any servicing operation, stop the engine and remove the key from the ignition switch to operate the steering lock,
particularly when the wheels do not touch the ground. If this is not possible (for example if the key needs to be turned to MAR or the
engine must be running), remove the main fuse that protects the electric power steering.
INTERIORNever 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.
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.
