Never use steam to clean leather. Never use spot
lifters or spot removers on leather. Many
commercial leather cleaners and coatings that are
sold to preserve and protect leather may
permanently change the appearance and feel of
your leather and are not recommended. Do
not use silicone or wax-based products, or those
containing organic solvents to clean your
vehicle’s interior because they can alter the
appearance by increasing the gloss in a
non-uniform manner. Never use shoe polish on
your leather.

Instrument Panel, Vinyl, and Other
Plastic Surfaces

A soft cloth dampened with water may be used to
remove dust. If a more thorough cleaning is
necessary, a clean soft cloth dampened with a
mild soap solution can be used to gently remove
dust and dirt. Never use spot lifters or removers
on plastic surfaces. Many commercial cleaners and
coatings that are sold to preserve and protect
soft plastic surfaces may permanently change the
appearance and feel of your interior and are

not recommended. Do not use silicone or
wax-based products, or those containing organic
solvents to clean your vehicle’s interior because
they can alter the appearance by increasing
the gloss in a non-uniform manner.

Some commercial products may increase gloss on
your instrument panel. The increase in gloss
may cause annoying reflections in the windshield
and even make it difficult to see through the
windshield under certain conditions.

Care of Safety Belts

Keep belts clean and dry.

{

CAUTION:

Do not bleach or dye safety belts. If you
do, it may severely weaken them. In a
crash, they might not be able to provide
adequate protection. Clean safety belts
only with mild soap and lukewarm water.
