Maintenance

Aluminum wheel maintenance

The aluminum wheels are coated with a
clear protective finish.
• Do not use any abrasive cleaner, pol-

ishing compound, solvent, or wire
brushes on aluminum wheels. They
may scratch or damage the finish.

• Use only a mild soap or neutral deter-

gent, and rinse thoroughly with water.
Also, be sure to clean the wheels after
driving on salted roads. This helps pre-
vent corrosion.

• Avoid washing the wheels with high-

speed car wash brushes.

• Do not use any acid detergent. It may

damage and corrode the aluminum
wheels coated with a clear protective
finish.

Interior care

Interior general precautions

Prevent caustic solutions such as per-
fume and cosmetic oil from contacting
the dashboard because they may cause
damage or discoloration. If they do con-
tact the dashboard, wipe them off imme-
diately. See the instructions that follow for
the proper way to clean vinyl.

Cleaning the upholstery and interior
trim

Vinyl
Remove dust and loose dirt from vinyl
with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner.
Clean vinyl surfaces with a vinyl cleaner.

Fabric
Remove dust and loose dirt from fabric
with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner.
Clean with a mild soap solution recom-
mended for upholstery or carpets.
Remove fresh spots immediately with a
fabric spot cleaner. If fresh spots do not
receive immediate attention, the fabric
can be stained and its color can be
affected. Also, its fire-resistant properties
can be reduced if the material is not
properly maintained.

CAUTION

Never allow water or other liquids
to come in contact with electrical/
electronic components inside the
vehicle as this may damage them.

CAUTION

Using anything but recommended
cleaners and procedures may affect
the fabric’s appearance and fire-
resistant properties.
