MAINTENANCE
Upholstery of your car has been designed
to withstand wear deriving from common
use of the car. You are however
recommended to avoid strong and/or
continuous scratching with clothing
accessories such as metallic buckles, studs,
Velcro fastenings and the like, since these
items cause circumscribed stress of the
cover fabric that could lead to yarn
breaking, and damage the cover as a
consequence.
INTERIOR PLASTIC PARTS
For routine cleaning, wipe with a cloth with water and
neutral non-abrasive detergent. Remove grease or
persistent stains with appropriate products designed
to preserve the appearance of components.
IMPORTANT Never use spirit or petroleum to clean
the instrument panel or other plastic parts.
STEERING WHEEL / GEARBOX LEVER
KNOB AND SEATS COATED WITH REAL
LEATHER
These components shall only be cleaned with water
and neutral soap. Never use spirit or alcohol-based
products.
Before using special products for cleaning interiors,
read carefully label instructions and indications to
make sure they are free from spirit and/or alcohol-
based substances.
If when cleaning the windscreen with special glass
products, some drops fall on the leather covering of
the steering wheel/gear lever knob remove them
immediately and then clean with water and neutral
soap.
IMPORTANT Take the utmost care when engaging
the steering lock to prevent scratching the leather
covering.
WARNING
Do not keep aerosol cans in the car: they might explode. Aerosol cans must never
be exposed to a temperature above 50°C. The temperature inside the car exposed
to the sun may go well beyond that figure.
