To clean:
1. Saturate a clean, lint-free colorfast cloth with water. A microfiber cloth is
recommended to prevent lint transfer to the fabric or carpet.
2. Remove excess moisture by gently wringing until water does not drip from the
cleaning cloth.
3. Start on the outside edge of the soil and gently rub toward the center. Fold the
cleaning cloth to a clean area frequently to prevent forcing the soil in to the
fabric.
4. Continue gently rubbing the soiled area until there is no longer any color
transfer from the soil to the cleaning cloth. 5. If the soil is not completely
removed, use a mild soap solution followed only by plain water.
NOTE-
If the soil is not completely removed, it may be necessary to use a commercial
upholstery cleaner or spot lifter.
 Test a small hidden area for colorfastness before using a commercial
upholstery cleaner or spot lifter. If ring formation occurs, clean the
entire fabric or carpet.
After cleaning, use a paper towel to blot excess moisture.

 Use a microfiber cloth on high gloss surfaces or vehicle displays.
First, use a soft bristle brush to remove dirt that can scratch the surface.

Then gently clean by rubbing with a microfiber cloth.
Never use window cleaners or solvents.

 Periodically hand wash the microfiber cloth separately, using mild soap.
Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Rinse thoroughly and air dry before

next use.
CAUTION
Do not attach a device with a suction cup to the display. This may cause damage
and would not be covered by the vehicle warranty.
 Use a soft microfiber cloth dampened with water to remove dust and loose
dirt. For a more thorough cleaning, use a soft microfiber cloth dampened
with a mild soap solution.
 Do not use cleaners that increase gloss, especially on the instrument panel.
Reflected glare can decrease visibility through the windshield under certain
conditions.
CAUTION
Soaking or saturating leather, especially perforated leather, as well as other

interior surfaces, may cause permanent damage.
Wipe excess moisture from these surfaces after cleaning and allow them to

dry naturally. Never use heat, steam, or spot removers.
Do not use cleaners that contain silicone or wax-based products.

 Cleaners containing these solvents can permanently change the appearance
and feel of leather or soft trim, and are not recommended.
 Wash with warm water and mild detergent.
Do not use chlorine bleach. Rinse with cold water, and then dry completely.
