•
The wiper blades can be cleaned with alcohol or Premium Windshield Washer Concentrate, available at your
Authorized Mahindra Dealer. This washer fluid contains a special solution in addition to alcohol which helps remove
the hot wax deposited on the wiper blade and windshield. Be sure to replace wiper blades when they appear worn or
do not function properly.
•
Do not use abrasives, as they may cause scratches.
•
Do not use fuel, kerosene, or paint thinner to clean any glass parts.
If you cannot remove those streaks after cleaning with the glass cleaner or if the wipers chatter and move in a jerky
motion, clean the outer surface of the windshield and the wiper blades using a sponge or soft cloth with a neutral
detergent or mild-abrasive cleaning solution. After cleaning, rinse the windshield and wiper blades with clean water.
The windshield is clean if beads do not form when you rinse the windshield with water.
Do not use sharp objects, such as a razor blade, to remove decals, as it may cause damage to the glass or rear
windshield heater grid lines (if equipped).
13.12.8 Instrument Panel/Interior Trim and Cluster Lens
Do not use chemical solvents or strong detergents when cleaning the steering wheel or instrument panel.
Clean the instrument panel, interior trim areas and cluster lens with a clean and damp white cotton cloth, then with a
clean and dry white cotton cloth; you may also use Dash and Vinyl Cleaner on the instrument panel and interior trim
areas.
•
Avoid cleaners or polishes 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 household or glass cleaners as these may damage the finish of the instrument panel, interior trim and
cluster lens
If a staining liquid like coffee/juice has been spilled on the instrument panel or on the interior trim surfaces, clean as
follows;
•
Wipe up spilled liquid using a clean white cotton cloth
•
Apply Vinyl Cleaner to the wiped area and spread around evenly
•
Apply cleaner to a clean white cotton cloth and press the cloth onto the soiled area and allow this to set in at room
temperature for 30 minutes
•
Remove the soaked cloth, and if it is not soiled badly, use this cloth to clean the area with a rubbing motion for 60
seconds
•
Following this, wipe area dry with a clean white cotton cloth
13.12.9 Interior Maintenance
For fabric, carpets, cloth seats, safety belts and seats:
•
Remove dust and loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner

Remove light stains and soil with carpet and upholstery cleaner
•
If grease or tar is present on the material, spot-clean the area first with a stain remover
•
