Never operate the wind-
screen wiper with blades
locked to the windscreen:
risk of windscreen wiper motor
overheating / damaging.
Some simple steps can reduce po-
tential damage to the blades:
– If the temperature falls to below
zero, make sure the rubber blade is
not frozen to the windscreen. If nec-
essary, free it with a de-icing com-
pound.
– Remove any snow that has settled
on the glass: besides saving the blades
you will avoid straining the electric
windscreen wiper motor and causing
it to overheat.
– Do not operate the windscreen or
rear window wipers on dry glass.

CLEANING SEATS
AND FABRICS
– Remove dust with a soft brush and
vacuum cleaner.
– Brush the seats with a damp
sponge with water and a neutral soap.
– Remove any grease stains with a
specific product.
CLEANING LEATHER SEATS
– Remove the dry dirt with a
chamois leather or very slightly moist
cloth without exerting too much pres-
sure.
– Remove liquid or grease stains
with a dry absorbent cloth without
rubbing. Then wipe with a chamois
leather or soft cloth moistened with
water and neutral soap.
If the stain does not come out, use a
special cleaning compound being par-
ticularly careful to follow the instruc-
tions for use.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol
or alcohol-base products.PLASTIC PARTS INSIDE
THE CAR
Use special products designed not to
alter the appearance of the compo-
nents.
IMPORTANT Do not use alcohol
or petrol to clean the instrument
panel.
Do not keep aerosol
cans in the car. There is
the risk they might ex-
plode. Aerosol cans must never
be exposed to a temperature
above 50°C; when the weather
starts to get hot the tempera-
ture inside the car might go well
beyond that figure.INTERIORS
From time to time check that water
has not collected under the mats
(from dripping shoes, umbrellas etc.)
which could cause the steel to rust.
Never use inflammable
products such as petro-
leum ether or petrol to
clean inside the car. The electro-
static loads that are generated
while rubbing to clean could be-
come a fire risk.
