CAR MAINTENANCE -> INTERIORS for Your Fiat Punto SUV 1999-2010

Front headlights  
INTERIORS  
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g.:  
petrol) or ketones (e.g.: acetone) for cleaning front  
headlight plastic lens.  
Periodically check that water is not trapped under the  
mats (due to water dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.)  
which could cause oxidisation of the sheet metal.  
Windows  
CLEANING SEATS AND FABRIC AND  
VELVET PARTS  
Use specific window cleaner products. Use also clean  
cloths to avoid scratching the glass or damaging the  
transparency.  
Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to remove dust.  
Velvet is cleaned better if the brush is moistened.  
IMPORTANT The inside of the rearscreen should be  
wiped gently with a cloth in the direction of the  
filaments to avoid damaging the heating device.  
Rub the seats with a sponge moistened with a solution  
of water and neutral detergent.  
Engine compartment  
At the end of the winter the engine compartment  
should be carefully washed, without directing the jet  
against electronic control units. Contact a specialised  
workshop to have this done.  
IMPORTANT The car should be washed with the  
engine cold and the ignition key at STOP. After  
washing make sure that the various protections (e.g.:  
rubber caps and various covers) have not been  
damaged or removed.  
Never use inflammable products like fuel oil ether or rectified petrol for cleaning  
inside the car. The electrostatic discharges generated when rubbing to clean may  
cause fire.

CLEANING LEATHER SEATS  
INTERIOR PLASTIC PARTS  
Remove dried on dirt with lightly moistened chamois  
leather or cloth without pressing too hard.  
For routine cleaning of interior plastic parts use a soft  
cloth moistened with water and neutral soap. Remove  
grease or persisting stains using appropriate solvent-  
free products designed to preserve appearance and  
colour of plastic components.  
Remove liquid or grease stains with a dry absorbent  
cloth without rubbing. Then wipe with a soft cloth or  
chamois leather with water and neutral soap.  
IMPORTANT Never use spirit or petroleum to clean  
the instrument panel or other plastic parts.  
If the stain persists, use specific products, carefully  
following the instructions for use.  
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol. Make sure that  
cleaning products do not contain alcohol and alcohol  
derivatives even at low strength.  
Do not keep aerosol cans in the car: they might explode. Aerosol cans must never  
be exposed to a temperature above 50°C. The temperature inside the car exposed  
to the sun may go well beyond that figure.
