soap and warm water or
isopropyl alcohol.
Windows
Clean the windows, inside and
out, with a commercially
available glass cleaner. You can
also use a mixture of one part
white vinegar to ten parts water.
This will remove the haze that
builds up on the inside of the
windows. Use a soft cloth or
paper towels to clean all glass
and clear plastic surfaces.
NOTICE
The rear window defogger wires
are bonded to the inside of the
glass. Wiping vigorously up and
down can dislodge and break the
defogger wires. When cleaning the
rear window, use gentle pressure
and wipe side to side.
Interior Care, Corrosion Protection
Air Fresheners
If you want to use an air
freshener/deodorizer in the
interior of your Accord, you
should use a solid type. Some
liquid air fresheners contain
chemicals that may cause parts
of the interior trim and fabric to
crack or discolor.
If you use a liquid air freshener,
make sure you fasten it securely
so it does not spill as you drive.
Corrosion Protection
Two factors normally contribute
to causing corrosion in your car:
1. Moisture trapped in body
cavities. Dirt and road salt
that collects in hollows on
the underside of the car stays
damp, promoting corrosion in
that area.
2. Removal of paint and
protective coatings from the
exterior and underside of the
car.
Many corrosion-preventive
measures are built into your
Honda. You can help keep your
car from corroding by
performing some simple periodic
maintenance:
Repair chips and scratches in
the paint as soon as you
discover them.
Inspect and clean out the
drain holes in the bottom of
the doors and body.
Check the floor coverings for
dampness. Carpeting and floor
mats may remain damp for a
long time, especially in winter.
This dampness can eventually
cause the floor panels to
corrode.
