Vehicle Care

10-87

Cleaners should be removed
quickly. Never allow cleaners to
remain on the surface being
cleaned for extended periods
of time.

Cleaners may contain solvents that
can become concentrated in the
interior. Before using cleaners, read
and adhere to all safety instructions
on the label. While cleaning the
interior, maintain adequate
ventilation by opening the doors
and windows.

To prevent damage, do not clean
the interior using the following
cleaners or techniques:

.

Never use a razor or any other
sharp object to remove a soil
from any interior surface.

.

Never use a brush with stiff
bristles.

.

Never rub any surface
aggressively or with excessive
pressure.

.

Do not use laundry detergents
or dishwashing soaps with
degreasers. For liquid cleaners,
use approximately 20 drops
per 3.78 L (1 gal) of water.
A concentrated soap solution
will leave a residue that creates
streaks and attracts dirt. Do not
use solutions that contain strong
or caustic soap.

.

Do not heavily saturate the
upholstery when cleaning.

.

Do not use solvents or cleaners
containing solvents.

Interior Glass

To clean, use a terry cloth fabric
dampened with water. Wipe droplets
left behind with a clean dry cloth.
Commercial glass cleaners may be
used, if necessary, after cleaning
the interior glass with plain water.

Notice: To prevent scratching,
never use abrasive cleaners on
automotive glass. Abrasive
cleaners or aggressive cleaning
may damage the rear window
defogger.

Fabric/Carpet

Start by vacuuming the surface
using a soft brush attachment. If a
rotating brush attachment is being
used during vacuuming, only use it
on the floor carpet. Before cleaning,
gently remove as much of the soil
as possible using one of the
following techniques:

.

Gently blot liquids with a paper
towel. Continue blotting until no
more soil can be removed.

.

For solid soils, remove as much
as possible prior to vacuuming.
