When cleaning your vehicle’s
interior, only use cleaners
specifically designed for the
surfaces being cleaned. Permanent
damage may result from using
cleaners on surfaces for which they
were not intended. Use glass
cleaner only on glass. Remove any
accidental over-spray from other
surfaces immediately. To prevent
over-spray, apply cleaner directly to
the cleaning cloth.
Notice: If you use abrasive
cleaners when cleaning glass
surfaces on your vehicle,
you could scratch the glass
and/or cause damage to the rear
window defogger. When
cleaning the glass on your
vehicle, use only a soft cloth and
glass cleaner.
Many cleaners contain solvents that
may become concentrated in
your vehicle’s breathing space.
Before using cleaners, read
and adhere to all safety instructions
on the label. While cleaning your
vehicle’s interior, maintain adequate
ventilation by opening your
vehicle’s doors and windows.
Dust may be removed from small
buttons and knobs using a small
brush with soft bristles.
Your dealer/retailer has a product
for cleaning your vehicle’s glass.
You can also obtain a product from
your dealer/retailer to remove
odors from your vehicle’s upholstery.
Do not clean your vehicle using
the following cleaners or techniques:
• Never use a knife or any other
sharp object to remove a soil
from any interior surface.
• Never use a stiff brush. It can
cause damage to your vehicle’s
interior surfaces.
• Never apply heavy pressure or
rub aggressively with a cleaning
cloth. Use of heavy pressure
can damage the interior and does
not improve the effectiveness
of soil removal.
• Use only mild, neutral-pH soaps.
Avoid laundry detergents or
dishwashing soaps with
degreasers. Using too much soap
will leave a residue that leaves
streaks and attracts dirt. For liquid
cleaners, about 20 drops per
gallon (3.78 L) of water is a
good guide.
• Do not heavily saturate the
upholstery while cleaning.
• Damage to your vehicle’s interior
may result from the use of many
organic solvents such as naptha,
alcohol, etc.
