Leather Seats
Remove the dry dirt with a chamois or slightly
damp cloth, without exerting too much pres-
sure.
Remove any liquid or grease stains using an
absorbent dry cloth, without rubbing. Then
clean with a soft cloth or buckskin cloth damp -
ened with water and mild soap. If the stain
persists, use specific products and observe
the instructions carefully.

NOTE:

Never use alcohol. Make sure that the
cleaning products used contain no alcohol or
alcohol derivatives, even in small quantities.
Plastic And Coated Parts
Clean interior plastic parts with a damp cloth
(if possible made from microfiber), and a solu -
tion of water and neutral, non-abrasive deter -
gent.
To clean oily or persistent stains, use specific
products free from solvents and designed to
maintain the original appearance and color of
the components.
Remove any dust using a microfiber cloth, if
necessary moistened with water. The use of
paper tissues is not recommended as these
may leave residues.
Alcantara Parts — If Equipped
Alcantara parts maintenance procedure:
Treat the surface with a microfiber cloth
moistened with mild marseille soap and
water, taking care to apply a uniform light
pressure over the entire area (do not rub
vigorously).
Rinse and wring out the microfiber cloth,
and pass it over the entire area again.
Let it dry, and then brush gently with a soft
brush.
Genuine Leather Surfaces — If Equipped
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 Fiber Parts
To eliminate small scratches and marks on the
carbon, contact an authorized dealer. An
improperly performed operation may irrepa -
rably damage the carbon.
CAUTION!
Do not use “hard” synthetic brushes as
they can damage the fabric.
Do not clean small areas because it could
cause “aesthetic” differences between
treated and untreated areas.
Do not use alcohol or acetone-based
solvents.
