Interior Trim Maintenance - Renault Master Handbook

INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE

A well-maintained vehicle will last
longer. It is therefore recommended to
maintain the interior of the vehicle regu-
larly.
A stain should always be dealt with
swiftly.
Whatever type of stain is on the trim,
use cold (or warm) soapy water with
natural soap.
Detergents (washing-up liquid, pow-
dered products, alcohol-based prod-
ucts) should not be used.
Use a soft cloth.
Rinse and soak up the excess.

Glass instrument panel
(e.g.: instrument panel, clock, exterior
temperature display, radio display, mul-
timedia or multifunction display etc.)
Use a soft cloth (or cotton wool).
If this does not clean them properly,
use a soft cloth (or cotton wool) slightly
moistened with soapy water and then
wipe clean with another soft damp cloth
or cotton wool.
Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry
cloth.
Do not use products containing alco-
hol and/or spray fluids on the area.
Seat belts
These must be kept clean.
Use products selected by our Technical
Department (Approved outlets) or
warm, soapy water and a sponge and
wipe with a dry cloth.
Detergents or dyes must not be used
under any circumstances.
Textiles (seats, door trim, etc)
Vacuum-clean the textiles regularly.
Liquid stain
Use soapy water.
Dab lightly (never rub) with a soft cloth,
rinse and remove the excess.
Solid or pasty stain
Carefully remove the excess solid or
pasty material immediately with a
spatula (working from the edges to the
centre to avoid spreading the stain).
Clean as for a liquid stain.
Special instructions for sweets or
chewing gum
Put an ice cube on the stain to solidify
it, then proceed as for a solid stain.
For further recommendations for
maintaining the interior, and/or for
any unsatisfactory results, please
see an authorised dealer.
