window FIAT PALIO 2003 178 / 1.G India Version Owner's Manual

127
Detergents pollute wa-
ter. The car must there-
fore be washed in an area
equipped for the collection and
purification of the liquids used
while washing.
IMPORTANT
The engine com-
partment should be washed while the
engine is cold and with the ignition key
at
STOP. After washing make sure
that the various protections (e.g. rub-
ber boots and various guards) have
not been removed or damaged.
IMPORTANTTo prevent damage
to the electric heater element, wipe the
inside of the heated rear window gen-
tly in the same direction as the ele-
ments.
Engine compartment
At the end of each winter season,
carefully clean the engine compart-
ment. Have this done at a garage.
INTERIORS
Periodically check that water has not
collected under the mats (from dip-
ping shoes, umbrellas etc.) which could
cause the steel to rust
CLEANING SEATS AND
FABRIC COMPONENTS
– Remove dust with a soft brush or
vacuum cleaner.
– Brush the seats with a damp
sponge with water and a neutral soap.
Never use flammable
products (petroleum
ether or petrol) to clean
the inside of the car. Electro-
static charges generated by rub-
bing while cleaning could cause
fires.
Do not keep aerosol
cans in the car. There is
the risk they might ex-
plode. Aerosol cans must never
be exposed to a temperature
above 50°C; when the weather
starts to get hot the temperature
inside the car might go well be-
yond that figure.
PLASTIC PARTS INSIDE THE
CAR
Use special products designed not to
alter the appearance of the compo-
nents.
IMPORTANTDo not use alcohol
or petrol to clean the glass of the in-
strument panel.
