INTERIOR

152) 153) 154) 155)
Periodically check the cleanliness of the
interior, beneath the mats, which could
cause oxidation of the sheet metal.
CLEANING THERMOEMBOSSED
IMAGES ON SEATS
(where provided)
Due to the colour, opacity and wear-
resistant protection with which the
thermoembossed images on some seat
versions are made, they may be subject
to temporary scratching if they are
touched by finger nails, keys, or other
hard objects.
In such cases, the visible signs do not
impair the profiled images, and can easily
be removed by wiping the affected area
with a microfibre cloth moistened with
water (not dry) to restore the seat to its
original condition.
WARNING The microfibre cloth must not
have been previously soaked in other
substances or detergents.
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.
WARNING Never use alcohol. Make sure
that the cleaning products used contain
no alcohol or alcohol derivatives, even in
small quantities.
PLASTIC AND COATED PARTS
52)
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.
ALCANTARA PARTS
(where provided)
53)
Alcantara parts maintenance procedure:
treat the surface with a microfibre
cloth moistened with mild marseille soap
and water, taking care to cover the entire
covered area and applying a uniform light
pressure (do not rub vigorously);
rinse and wring out the microfibre
cloth, and pass it again over the covered
area treated according to the previous
point;
let it dry then brush gently with a soft
brush.
WARNING On the GTAm version, do not
climb into the rear of the passenger
compartment by treading on the
Alcantara-covered part.
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.
CARBON FIBRE PARTS
To eliminate small scratches and marks
on the carbon, contact an Authorized
Centre at a Dedicated Alfa Romeo
Dealership. An improperly performed
operation may irreparably damage the
carbon.
