INTERIOR
Regularly check that water is not
trapped under the mats (due to water
dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.), as
this 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.
PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior plastic
parts with a moist cloth and a solution
of water and non-abrasive mild soap.
Use specific products for cleaning
plastic, without solvents and specifically
designed to prevent damage to the
appearance and colour of the treated
parts, to remove grease and tough
stains.
WARNING Do not use alcohol, petrols
or derivatives to clean the instrument
panel glass.
LEATHER STEERING
WHEEL/GEAR LEVER
KNOB/PARKING BRAKE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
These components must be cleaned
with mild soap and water only. Never
use alcohol or alcohol-based products.
Read the product label carefully before
using specific products for cleaning the
interiors: make sure that the product
does not contain spirits or alcohol-
based substances.
If, when cleaning the windscreen with
special products, window cleaner
accidentally drips onto the leather
of the steering wheel/gear lever
knob/parking brake, wipe away
immediately and then wash the
affected area with mild soap and water.
WARNING Be careful when using a
steering wheel lock device, where
applicable, to avoid damaging the
leather upholstery by rubbing.
WARNING
240) Never use flammable products, such
as petroleum ether or modified petrol,
to clean the inside of the vehicle. The
electrostatic charges which are generated
by rubbing during the cleaning operation
may cause a fire.
241) Do not keep aerosol cans in the
vehicle: they might explode. Aerosol cans
must not be exposed to temperatures
higher than 50°C. Temperatures may
greatly exceed this value inside a vehicle
exposed to direct sunlight.
RUBBER HOSES
As far as the maintenance of the
brake system and fuel supply system
rubber hoses is concerned, follow the
"Scheduled Servicing Plan" in this
chapter carefully.
Ozone, high temperatures and
prolonged lack of fluid in the system
may cause hardening and cracking of
the hoses, with possible leaks. Careful
checking is therefore necessary.
