292 Vehicle care
Permanent damage can result from
using cleaners on surfaces for which
they were not intended. Apply the
cleaner directly to the cleaning cloth
to prevent over-spray. Remove any
accidental over-spray from other
surfaces immediately.
Note
Using abrasive cleaners when
cleaning glass surfaces on the
vehicle could scratch the glass
and/or cause damage to the rear
window defogger. When cleaning
the glass on the vehicle, use only a
soft cloth and glass cleaner.
Cleaners can contain solvents that
can become concentrated in the
interior.
Before using cleaners, read and
adhere to all safety instructions on
the label. While cleaning the interior,
maintain adequate ventilation by
opening the doors and windows.
Do not clean the interior 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.
• 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.
• Avoid laundry detergents or
dishwashing soaps with
degreasers. Using too much
soap will leave a residue that
leaves streaks and attracts dirt.
Use only mild, neutral-pH soaps.
• Do not heavily saturate the
upholstery while cleaning.
• Cleaners that contain solvents
can damage the interior.
Fabric/carpet
Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft
brush attachment to remove dust
and loose dirt. A canister vacuum
with rotating brushes in the nozzle
may only be used on floor carpet and
carpeted floor mats. For soils, always
try to remove them first with plain
water or club soda.
Before cleaning, gently remove as
much of the soil as possible using
one of the following techniques:
• For liquids: gently blot the
remaining soil with a paper towel.
Allow the soil to absorb into the
paper towel until no more can be
removed.
• For solid dry soils: remove as
much as possible and then
vacuum.
