308 Vehicle Care
Warning
Water should never be sprayed directly
into the interior of the cab when
cleaning. Failure to observe this
precaution can lead to vehicle
malfunction and possibly to fire if water
should enter the audio system or other
electrical components located underneath
the floor carpet.
Petroleum ether, gasoline and other
organic solvents should not be used to
clean safety belts. In addition, safety belt
webbing should be neither bleached nor
redyed. Failure to observe these
precautions can lead to the performance
or strength of the safety belts being
impaired. In the case of a collision,
therefore, the safety belts could be
insufficiently effective, and serious
life-threatening injuries could result.
When cleaning, use warm water in which
a small amount of neutral detergent has
been dissolved to gently wipe the safety
belts.
Warning (Continued)
Follow the manufacturer's advice
whenever cleaning agents or other
chemicals are used, inside or outside the
vehicle. Some cleaners may be poisonous
or flammable, and improper use may
cause personal injury or damage. When
cleaning the inside or outside of the
vehicle, do not use volatile cleaning
solvents, such as acetone, lacquer
thinners, enamel reducers, nail polish
removers; or such cleaning materials as
laundry soaps, bleaches or reducing
agents, except as noted in the following
fabric cleaning advice on stain removal.
Never use carbon tetrachloride, gasoline,
benzene or naphtha for any cleaning
purpose.
Open all vehicle doors for ventilation
when ANY cleaning agents or other
chemicals are used in the interior.
Overexposure to some vapors may result
in a health problem that is more likely to
occur in small, unventilated spaces.
(Continued)
You and others could be seriously injured.
The interior of the vehicle must never be
cleaned using acidic or alkaline solvents,
or petroleum ether, gasoline, and other
organic solvents. Failure to observe this
precaution can result in discoloration and
staining. It should be noted that certain
types of cleaning products contain these
compounds. Be sure to read cleaning
product labels carefully.
Air fresheners (liquid, solid, gel, or plate
types) must not come into direct contact
with, or spill onto, interior components such
as the air conditioning or audio system.
Compounds contained in these products can
cause discoloration, staining, or peeling of
paint.
Glass cleaners that contain these compounds
must not be used to clean the inside of the
windshield or window glass. To clean the
glass, wipe it using a cloth wet with warm
or cold water.
To avoid possible permanent discoloration of
light colored seats, do not let materials with
non-fast colors come into contact with seat
trim materials until these materials are
totally dry. This includes certain types of
casual clothing, such as colored denims,
corduroys, leathers, and suedes, as well as
decorative paper.
