Cleaning cloth trim
Where the seats in your vehicle are upholstered with cloth, the following instructions
should be observed.
• Most loose dirt and dust can be removed by a vacuum cleaner or soft brush.
• Do not use a whisk broom or a coarse hair brush.
• If normal soiling should take place it is recommended that the fabric be sponged
lightly with warm water containing a detergent and a small amount of ammonia. The
fabric should then be rubbed lightly, and if necessary, sponged again to remove
anything stubborn. Soak up excess uid with a dry cloth.
Vehicles with airbags
Use only a dry cloth or mild cleaner to clean the steering wheel and instrument panel.
Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents.
Cleaning carpet
Thoroughly brush or vacuum the carpet. In many instances the carpet may require no
further cleaning. If the carpet is extremely soiled, thoroughly vacuum it to remove loose
dirt then, using a good quality carpet cleaner, clean approximately one square foot at
a time. After each area is cleaned, remove as much of the cleaner as possible with a
vacuum cleaner.
Cleaning seatbelts
Cleaning of seatbelts can be carried out by using a mild non-abrasive soap and
lukewarm water. After washing be sure to thoroughly sponge the washing solution out
of the belts.
WARNING
Do not bleach or dye seatbelts since this may severely weaken them.
Cleaning interior glass
The interior glass area of the vehicle should be cleaned using glass cleaner with a
clean soft cloth. Care must be taken when cleaning inside the rear window so as not
to damage the demister.
Never use abrasive cleaners on any vehicle glass, as they may cause scratches.
