PLASTIC AND COATED
PARTS
99)
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.
CLEANING THE
STEERING-WHEEL
Treat the surface using a microfibre
cloth moistened with neutral soap and
water, taking care to cover the whole
area, applying a uniform light pressure
(do not rub hard).
Rinse and wring out the microfibre
cloth, and pass over the area treated in
the previous point again.
For versions finished in Alcantara,
treat the steering-wheel following the
sequence described above, taking care
to leave the component to dry and to
brush it gently with a soft-bristle brush.
100)
WARNING
191) ever 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.
192) 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.
193)
It is essential that there is nothing
under the pedals: make sure the mats are
lying flat and do not get in the way of the
pedals.
IMPORTANT
99) Never use alcohol, petrols and
derivatives to clean the dashboard and
instrument panel lens.
100) Do not use "hard" synthetic
brushes as they could damage the fabric
beyond repair. Clean the steering-wheel
completely to prevent differences in
appearance between treated and
untreated zones. Do not use alcohol or
ketone-based solvents.
