7-1. Maintenance and care
Cleaning and protecting
the vehicle interior
Perform cleaning in a manner
appropriate to each compo-
nent and its material.
Protecting the vehicle inte-
rior
Remove dirt and dust using a
vacuum cleaner. Wipe dirty sur-
faces with a cloth dampened with
lukewarm water.
If dirt cannot be removed, wipe it
off with a soft cloth dampened
with neutral detergent diluted to
approximately 1%.
Wring out any excess water from
the cloth and thoroughly wipe off
remaining traces of detergent
and water.
Shampooing the carpets
■
There are several commercial foaming-
type cleaners available. Use a sponge
or brush to apply the foam. Rub in over-
lapping circles. Do not use water. Wipe
dirty surfaces and let them dry. Excellent
results are obtained by keeping the car-
pet as dry as possible.
Handling the seat belts
■
Clean with mild soap and lukewarm
water using a cloth or sponge. Also
check the belts periodically for exces-
sive wear, fraying or cuts.
