Cleaning the outside of your vehicle

NOTE
 Do not use cleaners, conditioners, and pro-
tectants containing silicones or wax.
Such products, when applied to the instru-
ment panels or other parts, may cause reflec-
tions on the windshield and obscure vision.
Also, if such products get on the switches of
the electrical accessories, it may lead to fail-
ure of these accessories.
Upholstery
1. To maintain the value of your new vehi-
9
cle, maintain the upholstery carefully and
keep the interior clean.
Use a vacuum cleaner and brush to clean
the seats. If stained, vinyl and synthetic
leather should be cleaned with an appro-
priate cleaner. Cloth fabrics can be
cleaned with either upholstery cleaner or a
3% solution of gentle soap in lukewarm
water.
2. Clean the carpeting with a vacuum
cleaner and remove any stains with carpet
cleaner. Oil and grease can be removed by
lightly dabbing with a clean white cloth
and spot remover.

Vehicle care and maintenance
NOTE
 If fuzzing is difficult to remove from the seat
upholstery, draw a suitable defuzzing brush
over the surface in one direction.
Genuine leather
1. To clean, lightly wipe the leather with a
soft cloth soaked in a 5% solution of gen-
tle soap and water.
2. To rinse, dip the cloth in fresh water,

wring it out well, and wipe off all the
soap.
3. To preserve and protect, use a leather pro-
tecting agent on the genuine leather sur-
face.
NOTE
 If genuine leather is wet with water, wipe it
with a dry, soft cloth. If left damp, mildew
may grow.
 The genuine leather surface can be damaged
if brushed with a nylon or synthetic fiber
brush.
 Organic solvents such as benzine, kerosene,
alcohol, gasoline, or acid or alkaline solvents
can discolor the genuine leather surface and
should not be used.
 Genuine leather can mildew if not kept
clean. Clean up any oil stains immediately.
NOTE
 The genuine leather surface may harden and
shrink if it is exposed to the direct sunlight
for long hours. When your vehicle is parked,
place it in the shade as much as possible.
 When the temperature of the vehicle interior
rises in summer, vinyl products left on the
(if so equipped)
genuine leather seat may deteriorate and

stick to the seat.
Cleaning the outside of your
vehicle
To protect your vehicle's finish, wash it often
and thoroughly. If desired, you may wax your
vehicle using a nonabrasive automobile wax.
Foreign material
Industrial pollution, road tar, bird droppings,
tree sap, insect remains, sea water and other
foreign matters can damage the finish on your
vehicle.
Generally, the longer any foreign material
stays on the finish, the worse the damage.
Wash your vehicle as soon as possible when-
ever the finish gets soiled.
