INTERIOR FITTINGS
Periodically check that water is not trapped
under the mats (due to water dripping off
shoes, umbrellas, etc.) which could cause
oxidisation of the sheet metal.
WARNING
Never use inflammable
products like fuel oil ether
or rectified petrol for cleaning inside
the car. The electrostatic discharges
generated when rubbing to
clean may cause fire.
CLEANING SEATS AND FABRIC
AND VELVET PARTS
– Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to
remove dust. Velvet is cleaned better if the
brush is moistened.
– Rub the seats with a sponge moistened
with a solution of water and neutral detergent.
CLEANING LEATHER SEATS
– Remove dried on dirt with a lightly
moistened chamois leather or cloth without
pressing too hard.
– Remove liquid or grease stains with a
dry absorbent cloth without rubbing. Then
wipe with a soft cloth or chamois leather
with water and neutral soap. If the stain persists,
use specific products, carefully following
the instructions for use
WARNING Never use spirit or alcoholbased
products.
Upholstery of your car
has been designed to withstand
wear deriving from
common use of the car. You are
however recommended to avoid
strong and/or continuous scratching
with clothing accessories such
as metallic buckles, studs, Velcro
fastenings and the like, since these
items cause circumscribed stress of
the cover fabric that could lead to
yarn breaking, and damage the
cover as a consequence.
INTERIOR PLASTIC PARTS
For routine cleaning of interior plastic parts
use a soft cloth moistened with water and
neutral soap. Remove grease or persisting
stains using appropriate solvent-free products
designed to preserve appearance and
colour of plastic components.
IMPORTANT Never use spirit or petroleum
to clean the instrument panel or other
plastic parts.
WARNING
Do not keep aerosol cans in
the car. There is the risk
they might explode. Aerosol cans
must never be exposed to a temperature
above 50°C. The temperature
inside the car might go well
beyond that figure when exposed
to the sun’s rays.
