424 Vehicle Care
If the soil is not completely
removed, it may be necessary
to use a commercial
upholstery cleaner or spot
lifter. Test a small hidden area
for colorfastness before using
a commercial upholstery
cleaner or spot lifter. If ring
formation occurs, clean the
entire fabric or carpet.
After cleaning, use a paper
towel to blot excess moisture.
Cleaning High Gloss
Surfaces and Vehicle
Information and Radio
Displays
Use a microfiber cloth on high
gloss surfaces or vehicle
displays. First, use a soft
bristle brush to remove dirt
that can scratch the surface.
Then gently clean by rubbing
with a microfiber cloth. Never
use window cleaners or
solvents. Periodically hand
wash the microfiber cloth
separately, using mild soap. Do
not use bleach or fabric
softener. Rinse thoroughly and
air dry before next use.
Caution
Do not attach a device with
a suction cup to the display.
This may cause damage and
would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty.
Instrument Panel, Leather,
Vinyl, Other Plastic
Surfaces, Low Gloss Paint
Surfaces, and Natural
Open Pore Wood
Surfaces
Use a soft bristle brush to
remove dust from knobs and
crevices on the instrument
cluster. Use a soft microfiber
cloth dampened with water to
remove dust and loose dirt.
For a more thorough cleaning,
use a soft microfiber cloth
dampened with a mild soap
and water solution.
Caution
Soaking or saturating
leather, especially
perforated leather, as well
as other interior surfaces,
may cause permanent
damage. Wipe excess
moisture from these
surfaces after cleaning and
allow them to dry naturally.
Never use heat, steam,
or spot removers. Do not
use liquids that contain
alcohol or solvents on
leather seats. Do not use
cleaners that contain
silicone or wax-based
products. Cleaners
containing these solvents
can permanently change the
appearance and feel of
leather or soft trim, and are
not recommended.
Do not use cleaners that
increase gloss, especially on
the instrument panel.
Reflected glare can decrease
