connections of the vehicle wiring are
dangerous, particularly if safety devices
are involved.

age” paragraph in section “Getting the
best out of you vehicle”.
Before performing any operation on
the electrical system, disconnect the
battery negative cable.
Battery terminals shall always be
perfectly separated.
If you want to add accessories after
buying the vehicle (antitheft system,
free-hand phone kit, radio navigator,
etc.) visit a Fiat Dealership. They
can suggest the most suitable acces-
sories to get and check whether the
electric system can support the
required load or whether a higher
capacity battery is required.
These devices will, in fact, run off
the battery even when the key is not
inserted (vehicle parked, engine off).

INTERIORS
From time to time check that water
has not collected under the mats
(from dripping shoes, umbrellas, etc.)
which could cause the steel to rust.
CLEANING SEATS
AND FABRICS
Remove dust with a soft brush and
vacuum cleaner. For velvet seats use
a damp brush.
Brush the seats with a damp sponge
with water and neutral soap.PLASTIC PARTS INSIDE
THE VEHICLE
Clean plastic parts with damp cloth
with water and non-abrasive neutral
soap. To remove grease or hard
stains, use special solvent-free prod-
ucts designed not to alter the appear-
ance and colour of components.
IMPORTANTDo not use alcohol
or petrol to clean the instrument
panel.
Never use flammable prod-
ucts (petroleum ether or
petrol) to clean the inside of the ve-
hicle. Electrostatic charges gener-
ated by rubbing while cleaning
could cause fires.
WARNING
Do not keep aerosol cans in
the vehicle. There is the risk
they might explode. Aerosol cans
must never be exposed to a tem-
perature above 50°C; when the
weather starts to get hot the tem-
perature inside the vehicle might go
well beyond that figure.
