6-1. Maintenance and care
Cleaning and protecting the
vehicle interior
Perform cleaning in a manner
appropriate to each component
and its material.
Cleaning instructions for the
interior parts other than the soft
top roof
Remove dirt and dust using a vac-
uum cleaner. Wipe dirty surfaces
with a cloth dampened with luke-
warm water.
If dirt cannot be removed, wipe it off
with a soft cloth dampened with
neutral detergent diluted to approx-
imately 1%.
Wring out any excess water from
the cloth and thoroughly wipe off
remaining traces of detergent and
water.
Cleaning instructions for the
interior parts of the soft top roof
Small dirt such as dust
Use a compressed air blow gun to
remove dust.
Severe dirt such as a stain
Dampen a small amount of water in a
cloth similar in material and color to
the soft top roof fiber, and wipe off the
dirt. And then allow the soft top roof to
dry in a shaded and ventilated area.
Shampooing the carpets
■
There are several commercial foaming-
type cleaners available. Use a sponge or
brush to apply the foam. Rub in overlapping
circles. Do not use water. Wipe dirty sur-
faces and let them dry. Excellent 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 excessive wear, fray-
ing or cuts.
When cleaning the carpeted portions of
■
the glove box, console box, etc.
If a strong adhesive tape is used, there is a
possibility that the surface of the carpet
could be damaged.
■
CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plas-
tic) parts (if equipped)
CFRP is used for the scuff plates. When
cleaning the scuff plates, remove dirt using
a water-dampened soft cloth or synthetic
chamois, and then wipe the surface with a
dry soft cloth to remove any remaining
moisture.
WARNING
■
Water in the vehicle
Do not splash or spill liquid in the vehi-
●
cle.
Doing so may cause electrical compo-
nents etc. to malfunction or catch fire.
Do not get any of the SRS components
●
or wiring in the vehicle interior wet.
(P.29)
An electrical malfunction may cause
the airbags to deploy or not function
properly, resulting in death or serious
injury.
