PLASTIC PARTS
IMPORTANT The washing should
take place with the engine cold and

with a moist cloth and a solution
of water and mild neutral soap.
To remove grease and tough stains,
use products designed specifically for
cleaning plastics. These have no solvents
and have been designed so that they
do not alter the appearance and colour
of the components.

IMPORTANT Never use alcohol or
petroleum to clean the instrument panel.
