Practical information

Comply with the instructions for use stated on

the product.

Decals

(Depending on version)

Do not use a high-pressure washer to

clean the vehicle - risk of damaging or

detaching the decals!

Use a high-flow hose (temperature

between 25°C and 40°C).

Place the jet of water perpendicular to the

surface to be cleaned.

Rinse the vehicle with demineralised water.

Textile

The dashboard, door panels and seats may

contain parts made of textile material.

Maintenance

Do not use aggressive cleaning products

(e.g. alcohol, solvent or ammonia).

Do not use steam-cleaning systems - risk of

affecting the adhesion of the fabrics!

Remove dust from the textile parts

regularly with a dry cloth, soft brush or

vacuum cleaner.

Rub down the textile parts once per year with

a clean, damp cloth. After leaving overnight to

dry, brush with a soft-bristled brush.

Stain removal

Do not rub the stain or it may spread or

you may cause the substance to

penetrate the surface.

Act quickly by reducing the stain from its

edges inwards.

Remove as much substance or solids as

possible using a spoon or spatula, and

remove as much liquid as possible using

absorbent paper.

Product/Procedure to use depending

on the type of stain:

– Grease, oil and ink: clean with a pH-neutral

detergent.

– Vomit: clean with sparkling mineral water.

– Blood: spread flour over the stain and allow

to dry; remove with a slightly damp cloth.

– Mud: allow to dry and then remove with a

slightly damp cloth.

– Cake, chocolate, ice cream: clean with

lukewarm water.

– Sugary and/or alcoholic drinks: clean with

lukewarm water, or lemon juice if the stain is

persistent.

– Hair gel, coffee, tomato sauce, vinegar:

clean with lukewarm water and lemon juice.

For solid substances, then use a soft brush or

vacuum cleaner.

For liquid substances, then use a damp

microfibre cloth and then dry with another

cloth.

Leather

Leather is a natural product. Appropriate regular

care is essential for its durability.

It must be protected and nourished using a

specific leather product, to keep it supple and

preserve its original appearance.

Do not use maintenance products which

are not suitable for cleaning leather

(e.g. solvent, detergent, petrol, pure alcohol).

Do not use bleaching or colour-removal

products (e.g. perchloroethylene).

When cleaning items partly made from

leather, take care not to damage the other

materials with the specific leather product.

Before cleaning greasy stains or liquids,

quickly mop up any surplus.

Before cleaning, wipe off any residues liable

to scuff the leather, using a cloth that has

been dampened with demineralised water

and thoroughly wrung out.

Clean the leather, without rubbing too

vigorously, using a soft cloth moistened with

soapy water or a pH-neutral product.

Dry with a soft, dry cloth.
