Interior Care
Interior General Precautions
Prevent caustic solutions such as perfume and cosmetic
oil from contacting the dashboard; they may cause
damage or discoloration. If they do contact the
dashboard, wipe them off immediately.
Upholstery and Interior Trim Cleaning
Vinyl
First, remove dust and loose dirt from vinyl with a
whisk broom or vacuum cleaner. Then, clean vinyl
surfaces with a vinyl cleaner.
Fabric
First, remove dust and loose dirt from fabric with a
whisk broom or vacuum cleaner. Then, clean with a
mild soap solution recommended for upholstery or
carpets. Remove fresh spots immediately with a fabric
spot cleaner. If a fresh spot do not receive immediate
attention, the fabric may be stained and its color can be
affected. Also, its fire-resistant properties may be
reduced if the material is not properly maintained.
Aluminum Wheel Maintenance
The aluminum wheels are coated with a clear
protective finish.
• Do not use any abrasive cleaner, polishing
compound, solvent, or wire brushes on aluminum
wheels. They may scratch or damage the finish.
• Use only a mild soap or neutral detergent, and rinse
thoroughly with water. Also, be sure to clean the
wheels after driving on salted roads. This helps
prevent corrosion.
• Avoid washing the wheels with high-speed car wash
brushes.
CAUTION
After washing the vehicle, test the brakes while
driving slowly to see if they have been affected
by water.
