HOOD
Normal maintenance of the hood
consists in washing it.
Dust the hood off before washing it.
Dirt must be removed using an ap-
propriate cleaning compound; then
rinse thoroughly using a low pressure
hose.
INTERIORS
From time to time, check that wa-
ter has not collected under the mats
(from dripping shoes, umbrellas etc.)
which could cause the steel to rust.
You are advised to wash
the hood by hand. When
washing a car in an auto-
matic car wash, the rotating
brushes exert a strong pressure
on the surface of the hood that
could damage it and scratch the
rear window. In addition, the
cleaning compounds and addi-
tives could have a negative effect
and spoil the hood's appearance.
IMPORTANT Do not use petrol,
stain removers, benzol, paint thinners
or solvents to remove dirt marks; on-
ly use products designed for the pur-
pose. If the marks still will not come
out, see a Fiat Dealership.
REAR WINDOW
This window can be replaced; con-
tact a Fiat Dealership to have this
done.
When cleaning the rear window be
particularly careful to avoid scratches
or scuffs that could spoil its appear-
ance. Never use flammable prod-
ucts (petroleum ether or
petrol) to clean the inside of the
car. Electrostatic charges generat-
ed by rubbing while cleaning could
cause fires.
