CLEANING
5
Wash the area using a
high-pressure cleaning device.
Interior trim maintenance
A well-maintained vehicle will last
longer. It is therefore recommended to
maintain the interior of the vehicle reg-
ularly.
A stain should always be dealt with
swiftly.
Whatever the type of the stain, use
cold (or tepid) soapy water with nat-
ural soap.
Detergents (washing-up liquid, pow-
dered products, alcohol-based
products) should not be used.
Use a soft cloth.
Rinse and wipe up excess water.
Multimedia screen
Maintenance of the screen may de-
pend on the type of multimedia equip-
ment. Please refer to the multimedia
instructions for further information.
Glass instrument panel
(e.g. instrument panel, clock, exterior
temperature display, radio display, etc.)
Use a soft cloth or cotton wool.
If this does not clean them properly,
use a soft cloth (or cotton wool) slightly
moistened with soapy water and then
wipe clean with another soft damp
cloth or cotton wool.
Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry
cloth.
Do not use products containing al-
cohol and/or spray fluids on the
area.
Seat belts
These must be kept clean.
Use products selected by our Techni-
cal Department (approved outlets) or
warm, soapy water and a sponge and
wipe with a dry cloth.
Detergents or dyes must not be
used.
Textiles (seats, door trim, etc)
Vacuum-clean the textiles regularly.
Liquid stain
Use soapy water.
Dab lightly (never rub) with a soft cloth,
rinse and remove the excess.
Solid or pasty stain
Carefully remove the excess solid or
pasty material immediately with a
spatula (working from the edges to the
centre to avoid spreading the stain).
Clean as for a liquid stain.
Special instructions for sweets or
chewing gum
Put an ice cube on the stain to solidify
it, then proceed as for a solid stain.
For further recommenda-
tions for maintaining the in-
terior, and/or for any unsat-
isfactory results, please see an
authorised dealer.
Removal/replacing removable
equipment originally fitted in the
vehicle
If you need to remove equipment in or-
der to clean the passenger compart-
ment (for example, mats), always en-
sure that they are correctly refitted and
are the right way around (the driver's
mat should be fitted on the driver's
side, etc.) and fit them with the compo-
nents supplied with the equipment (for
example, the driver mat should always
be fixed using the pre-fitted mounting
components).
With the vehicle stationary, always en-
sure that nothing will impede driving
(anything obstructing the pedals, heel
wedged by the mat etc.).
