8–2 VEHICLE CARE
CLEANING AGENTS
Follow the manufacturer's advice whenever
cleaning agents or other chemicals are used,
inside or outside the vehicle. Some clean-
ers may be poisonous or flammable, and im-
proper use may cause personal injury or
damage. When cleaning the inside or outside
of the vehicle, do not use volatile cleaning
solvents such as: acetone, lacquer thinners,
enamel reducers, nail polish removers: or
cleaning materials such as laundry soaps,
bleaches or reducing agents, except as
noted in the fabric cleaning advice on stain
removal. Never use carbon tetrachloride,
petrol, benzene, or naphtha for any clean-
ing purpose. Open all vehicle doors for ven-
tilation when any cleaning agents or other
chemical are used in the interior. Overexpo-
sure to some vapors may result in a health
problem which is more likely to occur in
small, unventilated spaces.
To avoid possible permanent discoloration of
light coloured seats, do not let materials with
non-fast colours come in contact with seat
trim materials until these materials are totally
dry. This includes certain types of casual
clothing, such as coloured denims, cordu-
roys, leathers and suedes: also decorative
paper, etc.
CARE AND CLEANING OF THE
INTERIOR
With the use of modern trim materials, it is
very important that you use proper cleaning
techniques and cleaners. Failing to do this
on the first cleaning may result in water
spots, spot rings, or setting of stains or
soils–all of which are more difficult to re-
move in a second cleaning.
Dust and loose dirt that collect on interior
fabrics should be frequently removed with
a vacuum cleaner or soft bristle brush. Wipe
vinyl or leather trim regularly with a clean
damp cloth. Normal trim soils, spots, or stains
can be cleaned with cleaners:
Safety Belt Care
• Keep belts clean and dry.
• Clean safety belts only with mild soap
and lukewarm water.
• Do not bleach or dye belts since this
may severely weaken them.
GLASS SURFACES
Glass surfaces should be cleaned on a
regular basis. The use of glass cleaner or
a liquid household glass cleaner will re-
move normal tobacco smoke and dust films
sometimes caused by ingredients used in
vinyls and interior plastics.
Never use abrasive cleaners on any vehicle
glass, as they may cause scratches. If
abrasive cleaners are used on the inside
of the rear window, any electric demister
element may be damaged. Avoid placing
decals on the inside rear window, since
they may have to be scraped off later.
Cleaning the Outside of Windshield
If your windshield is not clear after using the
windshield washer, or if the wiper blade
chatters when running, wax or another ma-
terial may be on the blade or windshield
Clean the outside of the windshield with
cleaning powder or an equivalent non abra-
sive cleaner. Your windshield is clean if
beads do not form when rinsing with wa-
ter.
