Appearance Care
Remember, cleaning products can be haz-
ardous. Some are toxic. Others can burst
into flames if you strike a match or get
them on a hot part of the vehicle. Some
are dangerous if you breathe their fumes in
a closed space. When you use anything
from a container to clean your vehicle, be
sure to follow the manufacturer's warnings
and instructions. And always open your
doors or windows when you are cleaning
the inside.
Never use these to clean your vehicle:
• Gasoline
• Benzene
• Naphtha
• Carbon Tetrachloride
• Acetone
• Paint Thinner
• Turpentine
• Lacquer Thinner
• Nail Polish Remover
They can all be hazardous – some more
than others – and they can all damage
your vehicle, too.
Do not use any of these unless this manual
says you can. In many uses, these will
damage your vehicle:
• Alcohol
• Laundry Soap
• Bleach
• Reducing Agents

Cleaning the Inside of Your Vehicle

Use a vacuum cleaner often to get rid of
dust and loose dirt. Wipe vinyl, leather,
plastic and painted surfaces with a clean,
damp cloth.

Cleaning Fabric/Carpet

Your dealer has cleaners for the cleaning
of fabric and carpet. They will clean normal
spots and stains very well.
You can get SUZUKI approved cleaning
products from your dealer. See "Vehicle
Care/Appearance Materials" later in this
section.
Here are some cleaning tips:
• Always read the instructions on the
cleaner label.
• Clean up stains as soon as you can –
before they set.
• Carefully scrape off any excess stain.
• Use a clean cloth or sponge, and
change to a clean area often. A soft
brush may be used if stains are stub-
born.
• If a ring forms on fabric after spot clean-
ing, clean the entire area immediately or
it will set.
