Speaker Covers; Care Of Safety Belts; Washing Your Vehicle - Cadillac 2008 DTS Owner's Manual

Speaker Covers

Vacuum around a speaker cover gently, so that the
speaker will not be damaged. Clean spots with
just water and mild soap.

Care of Safety Belts

Keep belts clean and dry.
CAUTION:
{
Do not bleach or dye safety belts. If you do,
it may severely weaken them. In a crash,
they might not be able to provide adequate
protection. Clean safety belts only with
mild soap and lukewarm water.
Weatherstrips
Silicone grease on weatherstrips will make them last
longer, seal better, and not stick or squeak. Apply
silicone grease with a clean cloth. During very cold,
damp weather frequent application may be required.

Washing Your Vehicle

The best way to preserve your vehicle's finish is to
keep it clean by washing it often.
Notice: Certain cleaners contain chemicals that
can damage the emblems or nameplates on
your vehicle. Check the cleaning product label.
If it states that is should not be used on plastic
parts, do not use it on your vehicle or damage may
occur and it would not be covered by the warranty.
Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight. Use a
car washing soap. Do not use cleaning agents that
are petroleum based or that contain acid or abrasives,
as they can damage the paint, metal or plastic on
your vehicle. Approved cleaning products can be
obtained from your dealer/retailer. See Vehicle
Care/Appearance Materials on page 5-94. Follow all
manufacturers' directions regarding correct product
usage, necessary safety precautions and appropriate
disposal of any vehicle care product.
Rinse the vehicle well, before washing and after to
remove all cleaning agents completely. If they are
allowed to dry on the surface, they could stain.
Dry the finish with a soft, clean chamois or an all-cotton
towel to avoid surface scratches and water spotting
