Maintenance and care
Remove dirt and dust using a
vacuum cleaner. Wipe dirty sur-
faces with a cloth dampened with
lukewarm water.
If dirt cannot be removed, wipe it
off with a soft cloth dampened
with neutral detergent diluted to
approximately 1%.
Wring out any excess water from
the cloth and thoroughly wipe off
remaining traces of detergent
and water.
■ Shampooing the carpets
There are several commercial foaming-
type cleaners available. Use a sponge
or brush to apply the foam. Rub in over-
lapping circles. Do not use water. Wipe
dirty surfaces and let them dry. Excel-
lent results are obtained by keeping the
carpet as dry as possible.
■ Handling the seat belts
Clean with mild soap and lukewarm
water using a cloth or sponge. Also
check the belts periodically for exces-
sive wear, fraying or cuts.
● Keep the cleaning nozzle at least
30 cm (11.9 in.) away from the vehi-
cle body. Otherwise resin section,
such as moldings and bumpers,
may be deformed and damaged.
Also, do not continuously hold the
nozzle in the same place.
● Do not spray the lower part of the
windshield continuously. If water
enters the air conditioning system
intake located near the lower part of
the windshield, the air conditioning
system may not operate correctly.
● Do not wash the underside of the
vehicle using a high pressure car
washer.
● Do not use the washer on the area
around the charging port lid. Water
could get into the AC charging inlet
and could damage the vehicle.
