Never use flammable
products, such as
petroleum ether or modified
petrol, to clean the inside of
the vehicle.
The electrostatic charges which
are generated by rubbing
during the cleaning operation
may cause a fire.
WARNING
Do not keep aerosol
cans in the vehicle: they
might explode.
Aerosol cans must not be
exposed to temperatures
above 50°C. Temperatures
may greatly exceed this value
inside a vehicle exposed to
direct sunlight.
WARNINGFront headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic
substances (e.g. petrol) or ketenes
(e.g. acetone) for cleaning the plastic
lenses of the front headlights.INTERIORS
Periodically check that water is not
trapped under the mats (due to
water dripping off shoes, umbrellas,
etc.) which could cause oxidisation
of the sheet metal.
SEATS AND FABRIC PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a
vacuum cleaner. It is advisable to use
a moist brush on velvet upholstery.
Rub the seats with a sponge
moistened with a solution of water
and neutral detergent.
