Never wash or rinse any ignition coil,
spark plug wire or spark plug well, or
the area in and around these locations.

Cover the battery, power distribution
box, and air filter assembly to prevent
water damage when cleaning the
engine.

CLEANING THE WINDOWS AND
WIPER BLADES

Car wash chemicals and environmental
fallout can result in windshield and wiper
blade contamination. Dirty windshield and
wipers will result in poor windshield wiper
operation. Keep the windshield and wiper
blades clean to maintain windshield wiper
performance.

To clean the windshield and wiper blades:

Clean the windshield with a
non-abrasive glass cleaner.

For windshields contaminated with
tree sap, chemicals, wax or bugs, clean
the entire windshield using steel wool
(no greater than 0000 grade) in a
circular motion and rinse with water.

Clean the wiper blades with isopropyl
rubbing alcohol or windshield washer
concentrate.

Note: Do not use razor blades or other
sharp objects to clean or remove decals
from the inside of the heated rear window.
The vehicle warranty does not cover
damage caused to the heated rear window
grid lines.

CLEANING THE INTERIOR

Note: Do not allow air fresheners and hand
sanitizers to spill on interior surfaces. If a
spill occurs, wipe off immediately. Damage
may not be covered by your warranty.

Safety Belts

Note: Do not use abrasives, or chemical
solvents to clean them.

Note: Do not allow moisture to penetrate
the safety belt retractor mechanism.

Clean them with interior cleaner or water
applied with a soft sponge. Let them dry
naturally, away from artificial heat.

Instrument Cluster Screens, LCD

Screens and Radio Screens

Note: Do not use abrasives, alcoholic
solvents or chemical solvents to clean them.

Rear Windows

Note: Do not use any abrasive materials to
clean the interior of the rear windows.

Note: Do not install stickers or labels to the
interior of the rear windows.

CLEANING THE INSTRUMENT
PANEL AND INSTRUMENT
CLUSTER LENS

WARNING

Do not use chemical solvents or
strong detergents when cleaning the
steering wheel or instrument panel

to avoid contamination of the airbag
system.

Note: Follow the same procedure as
cleaning leather seats for cleaning leather
instrument panels and leather interior trim
surfaces. See Cleaning Leather Seats
(page 233).

Clean the instrument panel and cluster
lens with a clean, damp and soft cloth,
then use a clean, dry and soft cloth to dry
these areas.
