Leather
A soft cloth dampened with water
can be used to remove dust.
If a more thorough cleaning is
necessary, a soft cloth dampened
with a mild soap solution can
be used. Allow the leather to dry
naturally. Do not use heat to
dry. 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 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.
