Appearance Care

Cleaning the Inside of Your Vehicle

Your vehicle's interior will continue to look its best
if it is cleaned often. Although not always visible,
dust and dirt can accumulate on your upholstery.
Dirt can damage carpet, fabric, leather, and plastic
surfaces. Regular vacuuming is recommended
to remove particles from your upholstery. It is
important to keep your upholstery from becoming
and remaining heavily soiled. Soils should be
removed as quickly as possible. Your vehicle's
interior may experience extremes of heat that
could cause stains to set rapidly.
Lighter colored interiors may require more
frequent cleaning. Use care because newspapers
and garments that transfer color to your home
furnishings may also transfer color to your
vehicle's interior.
When cleaning your vehicle's interior, only use
cleaners specifically designed for the surfaces
being cleaned. Permanent damage may result from
using cleaners on surfaces for which they were not
intended. Use glass cleaner only on glass. Remove
any accidental over-spray from other surfaces
immediately. To prevent over-spray, apply cleaner
directly to the cleaning cloth.
Notice: If you use abrasive cleaners when
cleaning glass surfaces on your vehicle,
you could scratch the glass. When cleaning
the glass on your vehicle, use only a soft
cloth and glass cleaner.
Many cleaners contain solvents that may become
concentrated in your vehicle's breathing space.
Before using cleaners, read and adhere to all safety
instructions on the label. While cleaning your
vehicle's interior, maintain adequate ventilation
by opening your vehicle's doors and windows.
Dust may be removed from small buttons and
knobs using a small brush with soft bristles.
Your GM dealer has a product for cleaning your
vehicle's glass. Should it become necessary,
you can also obtain a product from your GM dealer
to remove odors from your vehicle's upholstery.
