Interior - Alfa Romeo Giulia-GTA Owner's Handbook Manual

IMPORTANT
50) In order to preserve the appearance of
the paint abrasive products and/or polishes
should not be used for cleaning the car.
51) Abrasive products and/or polishes
should not be used for cleaning the car. Bird
droppings must be washed off immediately
and thoroughly as the acid they contain is
particularly aggressive. Avoid parking the
vehicle under trees (unless it is absolutely
necessary). Remove any resinous plant
matter immediately because, once it has
dried, it may require the use of abrasive
and/or polishing products to be removed,
which are strongly discouraged as they
could potentially alter the characteristics of
the paintwork. Do not use pure windscreen
washer fluid for cleaning the front
windscreen and rear window; dilute it min.
50% with water. Only use pure screen
washer fluid when strictly necessary due to
outside temperature conditions. Do not use
chemicals/acids to defrost windows/vehicle
glass as they can damage the paint.
52) Avoid washing with rollers and/or
brushes in washing stations. Wash the car
only by hand using neutral pH detergents;
dry it with a wet chamois leather. Abrasive
products and/or polishes should not be used
for cleaning the car. Bird droppings must be
washed off immediately and thoroughly
as the acid they contain is particularly
aggressive. Avoid (if at all possible) parking
the car under trees; remove vegetable
resins immediately as, when dried, it may
only be possible to remove them with
abrasive products and/or polishes, which is
highly inadvisable as they could alter the
200
typical opacity of the paint. Do not use pure
windscreen washer fluid for cleaning the
front windscreen and rear window; dilute it
min. 50% with water. Only use pure screen
washer fluid when strictly necessary due to
outside temperature conditions. Do not use
chemicals/acids to defrost windows/vehicle
glass as they can damage the paint.
53) A high pressure jet cleaner should
not be used for cleaning the engine
compartment. The appropriate precautions
have been taken to protect all parts and
connections, but the pressures generated by
these devices are so high that complete
protection against water seepages cannot
be guaranteed.
IMPORTANT
7) Detergents pollute the water. The vehicle
should be washed in areas equipped for
collecting and purifying the liquid used in the
washing process.

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
