Abarth 500 2018 Owner handbook (in English)

WARNING
151)Never 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.
152)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.
WARNING
49)Do not use "hard" synthetic brushes as
they could damage the fabric beyond
repair. Do not perform partial, localised
restorations that could cause "aesthetic"
differences between treated and untreated
areas. Do not use alcohol or ketone-based
solvents.
