Cleaning the interior
CAUTION
Vehicles with side airbags and cur-
D
tain shield airbags:
Be careful not to splash water or
spill liquid on the floor. This may
prevent the side and curtain shield
airbags from activating correctly, re-
sulting in serious injury.
Do not wash the vehicle floor with
D
water, or allow water to get onto
the floor when cleaning the vehicle
interior or exterior. Water may get
into
audio
components
or
electrical components above or un-
der the floor carpet (or mat) and
cause a malfunction; and it may
cause body corrosion.
Vinyl interior
The vinyl
upholstery may be easily
cleaned with a mild soap or detergent
and water.
First vacuum over the upholstery to re-
move loose dirt. Then, using a sponge or
soft cloth, apply the soap solution to the
vinyl. After allowing it to soak in for a few
minutes to loosen the dirt, remove the dirt
and wipe off the soap with a clean damp
cloth. If all the dirt do not come off, re-
peat the procedure. Commercial foaming−
type vinyl
cleaners are also available
which work well. Follow the manufacturer's
other
instructions.
NOTICE
Do not use solvent, thinner, gasoline
or window cleaner on the interior.
