CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE
Several types of foam cleaners are available;
some are in aerosol cans and others are
powders or liquids which you mix with water
to produce a foam. To shampoo the carpets,
use a sponge or brush to apply the foam. Rub
in overlapping circles.
Do not apply water—the best results are ob-
tained by keeping the carpet as dry as pos-
sible. Read the shampoo instructions and fol-
low them closely.
Seatbelts
The seatbelts may be cleaned with mild
soap and water or with lukewarm water.
Use a cloth or sponge. As you are cleaning,
check the belts for excessive wear, fraying,
or cuts.
NOTICE
Do not use dye or bleach on the seat-
D
belts—it may weaken them.
Do not use the seatbelts until they be-
D
come dry.
Windows
The windows may be cleaned with any
household window cleaner.
NOTICE
Do not apply detergent to or wet the
D
automatic wiper control sensor when
cleaning the inside of the windshield.
When cleaning the inside of the rear
D
window, be careful not to scratch or
damage the heater wires or connec-
tors.

Soak a clean soft cloth in water or lukewarm
water then lightly wipe off dirt.
NOTICE
Do not use organic substances (sol-
D
vents, kerosene, alcohol, petrol, etc.)
or alkaline or acidic solutions. These
chemicals can cause discolouring,
staining or peeling of the surface.
If you use cleaners or polishing ag-
D
ents, make sure their ingredients do
not include the substances mentioned
above.
If you use a liquid car freshener, do
D
not spill the liquid onto the vehicle's
interior surfaces. It may contain the
ingredients mentioned above. Im-
mediately clean any spill using the
method mentioned above.
Leather interior
The leather upholstery may be cleaned
with neutral detergent for wool.
Remove dirt using a soft cloth dampened with
5% solution of neutral detergent for wool.
Then thoroughly wipe off all traces of deter-
gent with a clean damp cloth.
After cleaning or whenever any part of the
leather gets wet, dry with a soft clean cloth.
Allow the leather to dry in a ventilated shaded
area.
NOTICE
If a stain should fail to come out with
D
a neutral detergent, apply a cleaner
that does not contain an organic sol-
vent.
Never use organic substances such
D
as benzine, alcohol or petrol, or alka-
line or acid solutions for cleaning the
leather as these could cause discol-
ouring.
