them out of the reach of children. Commer

• Do not spray any kind of liquid directly at
instruments or controls. Apply cleaner to a
rag first and then clean instruments and
gauges. Excess fluid may damage the use

an inconspicuous area of the surface to be
cleaned before using it.

chemicals or solvents such as

• Clean difficult stains such as oil, grease,
and mustard as soon as possible. The
longer a stain goes untreated, the more dif

ficult it is to remove.
• Avoid application of conditioning products
containing silicones or waxes to the top
surface of the dash panel. This may cause
glare that can be a driver distraction.
