INTERIOR
Check regularly that water is not trapped under the mats
(due to drops from shoes, umbrellas, etc.), as this could
cause the sheet metal to rust.

Never use flammable products, such as
petroleum ether or modified petrol, to
clean inside the car. The electrostatic charges
which are generated by rubbing during cleaning
may cause a fire.
Do not keep aerosol cans in the vehicle: these
could explode. Aerosol cans must not be exposed
to temperatures exceeding 50°C. When the vehi-
cle is exposed to sunlight, the temperature inside
can greatly exceed this value.
WARNING
SEATS AND FABRIC PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. It is
advisable to use a damp brush on velvet upholstery.
Wipe the seats with a sponge soaked in a solution of mild
detergent and water.
IMPORTANT The fabric upholstery of your car is designed
to withstand normal wear and tear for a long time. Some
precautions are needed though. Avoid prolonged and/or
excessive rubbing against clothing accessories such as met-
al buckles and Velcro strips which, by applying a high pres-
sure on the fabric in a small area, could cause some threads
to break, thereby damaging the upholstery.
PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior plastic parts with a damp
cloth and a solution of water and non-abrasive mild soap.
To remove grease and tough stains, use products designed
specifically for cleaning plastics. These have no solvents
and have been designed so that they do not alter the ap-
pearance and colour of the components.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol, petrols and derivatives
to clean the instrument panel lens.
REAL LEATHER STEERING WHEEL/GEAR
LEVER KNOB
These components must be cleaned with mild soap and
water only.
Never use spirits and/or alcohol-based products.
Before using off-the-shelf products designed for cleaning
vehicle interiors, make sure that they do not contain spir-
its and/or alcohol-based substances.
If window cleaner accidentally drips onto the steering
wheel or gear lever knob, wipe away immediately and then
wash the affected area with mild soap and water.
IMPORTANT When arranging a steering wheel locking
device, be careful not to damage the leather upholstery.
