Maintenance
◦ Remove oil instantly with absorbable cloth and wipe with stain remover for leather
only.
• Chewing gum
◦ Harden the gum with ice and remove gradually.
Fabric seat cover using precautions (if equipped)
Clean the fabric seats regularly with a vacuum cleaner in consideration of fabric ma
terial characteristics. If they are heavily soiled with beverage stains, etc., use a suitable
interior cleaner. To prevent damage to seat covers, wipe off the seat covers down to
the seams with a large wiping motion and moderate pressure using a soft sponge or
microfiber cloth.
Velcro closures on clothing or sharp objects may cause snagging or scratches on the
surface of the seats. Make sure not to rub such objects against the surface.
Cleaning the upholstery and interior trim
Car interior surfaces
Remove dust and loose dirt from interior surfaces with a whisk broom or a vacuum
cleaner. If necessary, clean interior surfaces with a mixture of warm water and mild
non-detergent cleaner (test all cleaners on a concealed area before use).
Fabric
Remove dust and loose dirt from fabric with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner. Clean
with a mild soap solution recommended 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 colour can be affected. Also, its fire-resis
tant properties can be reduced if the material is not properly maintained.
CAUTION
Using anything but recommended cleaners and procedures may affect the fabric's
appearance and fire-resistant properties.
Cleaning the lap/shoulder belt webbing
Clean the belt webbing with any mild soap solution recommended for cleaning uphol
stery or carpet. Follow the instructions provided with the soap. Do not bleach or re-
dye the webbing because this may weaken it.
Cleaning the interior window glass
If the interior glass surfaces of the vehicle become fogged (that is, covered with an
oily, greasy or waxy film), they should be cleaned with a glass cleaner. Follow the di
rections on the glass cleaner container.
CAUTION
Do not scrape or scratch the inside of the rear window. This may result in damage of
the rear window defroster grid.
