Fiat 500 Owner's Handbook Manual page 172

INTERIORS
Regularly check that water is not trapped under the
mats (due to water dripping off shoes, umbrellas,
etc.), as this could cause oxidation of the sheet
metal.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
Do not keep aerosol cans in the car:
they might explode. Aerosol cans must
not be exposed to temperatures exceeding
50°C.When the vehicle is exposed to sunlight,
the temperature inside can greatly exceed
this value.
SEATS AND FABRIC PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner.
It is advisable to use a moist brush on velvet
upholstery.
Rub the seats with a sponge moistened with a
solution of water and neutral detergent.
PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior parts with a moist
cloth and a solution of water and mild neutral soap.
Use specific products for cleaning plastic, without
solvents and specifically designed to prevent damage
to the appearance and colour of the treated parts
to remove grease and tough stains.
IMPORTANT Never use spirits or petroleum to
clean the instrument panel.
