CLEANING INTERIOR
Occasionally remove loose dust from the interior
trim, plastic parts and seats using a vacuum cleaner
or soft bristled brush. Wipe the vinyl and leather sur-
faces with a clean, soft cloth dampened in mild soap
solution, then wipe clean with a dry, soft cloth.
Regular care and cleaning is required in order to
maintain the appearance of the leather.
Before using any fabric protector, read the manu-
facturer's recommendations. Some fabric protec-
tors contain chemicals that may stain or bleach the
seat material.
Use a soft cloth dampened only with water to clean
the meter and gauge lens covers.
CAUTION
•
Never use benzene, thinner or any similar ma-
terial.
•
Small dirt particles can be abrasive and dam-
aging to leather surfaces and should be re-
moved promptly. Do not use saddle soap, car
waxes, polishes, oils, cleaning fluids, solvents,
detergents or ammonia-based cleaners as
they damage the natural leather finish.
•
Never use fabric protectors unless recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
•
Do not use glass or plastic cleaner on meter or
gauge lens covers. It may damage the lens
covers.

Appearance and care
AIR FRESHENERS
Most air fresheners use a solvent that could affect
the vehicle interior. If you use an air freshener, take
the following precautions:
•
Hanging-type air fresheners can cause perma-
nent discoloration when they contact vehicle in-
terior surfaces. Place the air freshener in a loca-
tion that allows it to hang free and not contact
an interior surface.
•
Liquid-type air fresheners typically clip on the
vents. These products can cause immediate
damage and discoloration when spilled on inte-
rior surfaces.
Carefully read and follow the manufacturer's
instructions before using air fresheners.
FLOOR MATS
The use of floor mats (where fitted) can extend the
life of your vehicle carpet and make it easier to clean
the interior. Regardless of what mats are used, be
sure they are fitted for your vehicle and are properly
positioned in the foot well to prevent interference
with pedal operation. Mats should be maintained
with regular cleaning and replaced if they become
excessively worn.
Floor mat positioning aid
Example
This vehicle includes floor mat brackets to act as a
floor mat positioning aid.
Position the mat by placing the floor mat bracket
hook through the floor mat grommet hole while
centring the mat in the foot area.
Periodically check that the mats are properly posi-
tioned.
GLASS
Use glass cleaner to remove smoke and dust film
from the glass surfaces. It is normal for glass to be-
come coated with a film after the vehicle is parked
in the hot sun. Glass cleaner and a soft cloth will
easily remove this film.
