69) A high pressure jet cleaner should  
not be used for cleaning the engine

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 typical  
opacity of the paint. Do not use pure

your vehicle in areas equipped to collect  
and treat waste water from this type of  
activity.  
Cleaning heat press images on  
seats  
(for versions/markets, where provided)  
Due to the colour, opacity and wear-  
resistant protection with which the heat  
press 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  
67) It is not advisable to wash with  
pressure washer or, in case of use, it is  
necessary to maintain at least a minimum

moistened with water (not dry) to  
restore the seat to its original condition.  
Before using specific products for the  
cleaning of the interiors, ensure through  
careful reading that the instructions  
on the label of the product do not  
contain alcohol and/or alcohol-based  
substances.  
WARNING The microfibre cloth must  
not have been previously soaked in  
other substances or detergents.  
If, when cleaning the windscreen  
with special products, window  
cleaner accidentally drips onto the  
leather of the steering wheel/gear  
lever knob/handbrake, wipe away  
immediately and then wash the  
affected area with mild soap and water.  
PLASTIC AND COATED  
PARTS  
Clean interior plastic parts with a damp  
cloth (if possible made from microfibre),  
and a solution of water and neutral,  
non-abrasive detergent. To clean oily or  
persistent stains, use specific products  
free from solvents and designed to  
maintain the original appearance and  
colour of the components.  
WARNING Be careful when using a  
steering wheel lock device, where  
applicable, to avoid damaging the  
leather upholstery by rubbing.  
Remove any dust using a microfibre  
cloth, if necessary moistened with  
water. The use of paper tissues is not  
recommended as these may leave  
residues.  
WARNING  
180) ever use flammable products, such  
as petrol ether or rectified petrol to clean  
the inside of the car. The electrostatic  
charges which are generated by rubbing  
during the cleaning operation may cause a  
fire.  
WARNING Never use alcohol, petrols  
and derivatives to clean the instrument  
panel lens.  
181) Do not keep aerosol cans in the  
vehicle: they might explode. Aerosol cans  
must not be exposed to a temperature  
exceeding 50°C. When the vehicle  
is exposed to sunlight, the internal  
temperature can greatly exceed this value.  
LEATHER STEERING  
WHEEL/GEAR LEVER  
KNOB/HANDBRAKE  
These components must be cleaned  
with mild soap and water only. Never  
use alcohol or alcohol-based products.
