Interior Care

Carpeting
Vacuum the carpeting frequently to
remove dirt. Ground-in dirt will make
the carpet wear out faster.
Periodically shampoo the carpet to
keep it looking new. Use one of the
foam-type carpet cleaners on the
market. Follow the instructions that
come with the cleaner, applying it
with a sponge or soft brush. Keep
the carpeting as dry as possible by
not adding water to the foam.

Appearance Care
Floor Mats
If equipped
The genuine Honda driver's floor
mat was designed to hook over the
floor mat anchors. This keeps the
floor mat from sliding forward and
possibly interfering with the pedals.
If you remove the floor mat, make
sure to re-anchor it when you put it
back in your car.
If you replace it, use a genuine
Honda floor mat that is designed to
be used with the floor mat anchors in
your car.
If you use a non-Honda floor mat in
the driver's footwell, make sure it
fits properly and that it can be used
with the floor mat anchor.
Do not put additional floor mats on
top of the anchored mat, otherwise
the additional mats may slide
forward and interfere with the pedals.
