Cleaning Interior Plastic Components; Care Of Safety Belts; Weatherstrips; Cleaning Wood Panels - Cadillac 2004 CTS Owner's Manual

Cleaning Interior Plastic Components

Use on a mild soap and water solution on a soft cloth or
sponge. Commercial cleaners may affect the surface
finish.

Cleaning Wood Panels

Use a clean cloth moistened in warm, soapy water
(use mild dish washing soap). Dry the wood immediately
with a clean cloth.

Cleaning the Speaker Covers

Vacuum around a speaker cover gently, so that the
speaker won't be damaged. Clean spots with just water
and mild soap.

Cleaning Glass Surfaces

Glass should be cleaned often. GM Glass Cleaner or
a liquid household glass cleaner will remove normal
tobacco smoke and dust films on interior glass.
See Vehicle Care/Appearance Materials on page 5-92 .
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 and the integrated radio
antenna. When cleaning the glass on your vehicle,
use only a soft cloth and glass cleaner.

Care of Safety Belts

Keep belts clean and dry.
{
CAUTION:
Do not bleach or dye safety belts. If you do,
it may severely weaken them. In a crash,
they might not be able to provide adequate
protection. Clean safety belts only with mild
soap and lukewarm water.

Weatherstrips

Silicone grease on weatherstrips will make them last
longer, seal better, and not stick or squeak. Apply
silicone grease with a clean cloth at least every six
months. During very cold, damp weather more frequent
application may be required. See Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants on page 6-13 .
