12-92 Simple inspection and service
• Do not water-wash the floor with the floor mat
left in place as this could cause the floor to rust
and could also damage the relays and com-
puter.
• If you wish to wash the floor mat, remove it from
the vehicle. After washing, allow the felt lining on
the back to dry completely. The floor mat can be
removed by removing the scuff plates .
3.1 Cleaning interior trim
Keep the vehicle’s interior trim clean at all times.
1. Clean out all dust on the trim with a vacuum
cleaner or soft brush.
2. Wipe vinyl trim areas carefully with cloth damp-
ened with water.
3. Wipe dirt and marks off the trim with a commer-
cially available cleaner.
3.2 General dirt
A multi-purpose powder-type cleaner is recom-
mended for cleaning general dirt. Soapsuds are
also usable.
1. Clean out all loose dust with a vacuum cleaner
or soft brush.
2. Dilute the cleaner in water to the specified con-
centration. The best results can usually be
obtained with a thinner solution. When soap-
suds are used, apply them with a sponge or soft
cloth.
3. Wipe up any remaining cleaner with a towel or
other absorbent cloth.
4. Finish cleaning by gently wiping the surface with
a dry soft cloth to polish it.
3.3 Grease and oil
Use this method to remove contamination by
grease, oil, butter, margarine, shoe polish, white
coffee, chewing gum, beauty cream, vegetable oil,
wax, crayon, tar, and asphalt.
• Wipe off the contamination, then apply a fabric
cleaning solution.
• Shoe polish, wax, crayon, tar, and asphalt can
stain the trim if not cleaned off quickly. Carefully
use cleaner because it dissolve these contami-
nants and can cause a smudge.
WARNING
When refitting the floor mat after cleaning,
make sure it does not interfere with the accel-
erator and brake pedals.
