• Do not use fuel, kerosene, or paint thinner to clean any parts.

• Wiper blades can be cleaned with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol or

windshield washer solution. Be sure to replace wiper blades when they
appear worn or do not function properly.

INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CLUSTER LENS
Clean the instrument panel with a damp cloth, then dry with a dry cloth.
• Avoid cleaners or polish that increase the gloss of the upper portion of

the instrument panel. The dull finish in this area helps protect the
driver from undesirable windshield reflection.

Do not use chemical solvents or strong detergents when cleaning
the steering wheel or instrument panel to avoid contamination of

the air bag system.

• Be certain to wash or wipe your hands clean if you have been in

contact with certain products such as insect repellent and suntan
lotion in order to avoid possible damage to the interior painted
surfaces.

INTERIOR TRIM
• Clean the interior trim areas with a damp cloth, then dry by wiping

with a dry, soft, clean cloth.

• Do not use household or glass cleaners as these may damage the

finish.

CLEANING SEATS EQUIPPED WITH SIDE AIR BAGS
Remove dust and loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner. In order to remove
stains and soil, clean with Extra Strength Upholstery Cleaner
(E8AZ-19523–AA).
Never saturate the seat covers with any cleaning solution.

Do not use chemical solvents or strong detergents when cleaning
the seat where the side air bag is mounted. Such products could

contaminate the side air bag system and affect performance of the side
air bag in a collision. The air bag may not function correctly and not
provide injury reduction benefits.

INTERIOR
For fabric, carpets, cloth seats and safety belts:
• Remove dust and loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner.
