.CLEANING AGENTS
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 in-
jury 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 re-
movers: or such cleaning materials as laun-
dry soaps, bleaches or reducing agents,
except as noted in the fabric cleaning ad-
vice on stain removal. Never use carbon
tetrachloride, fuel, benzene, or naphtha for
any cleaning purpose. Open all the 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 which is more
likely to occur in small, unventilated spaces.
To avoid possible permanent discolouration
of light coloured seats, do not let materials
with non-fast colours come in contact with
seat trim materials until these materials are
totally dry. This includes certain types of
casual clothing, such as coloured denims,
corduroys, leathers and suedes: also dec-
orative paper, etc.
CARE AND CLEANING OF
THE INTERIOR
With the use of modern trim materials, it is
very important that you use proper clean-
ing techniques and cleaners. Failing to do
this on the first cleaning may result in wa-
ter spots, spot rings, or setting of stains or
soils-all of which are more difficult to re-
move in a second cleaning.
Dust and loosen dirt that collects on
interior fabrics should be frequently
removed with a vacuum cleaner or soft
bristle brush. Wipe vinyl or leather trim
regularly with a clean damp cloth. Normal
trim soils, spots, or stains can be cleaned
with cleaners:
Safety belt care
• Keep belts clean and dry.
• Clean safety belts only with a mild
soap and lukewarm water.
• Do not bleach or dye belts since this
may severely weaken them.

GLASS SURFACES
Glass surfaces should be cleaned on a
regular basis. The use of a glass cleaner
or a liquid household glass cleaner will
remove normal tobacco smoke and dust
films sometimes caused by ingredients
used in vinyls and interior plastics.
Never use abrasive cleaners on any vehicle
glass, as they may cause scratches. If
abrasive cleaners are used on the inside of
the rear window, any electric demister
element may be damaged. Avoid placing
decals on the inside rear window, since
they may have to be scraped off later. Any
temporary license, etc. should not be
attached across the demister grid.
Cleaning the outside of windscreen
If your windscreen is not clear after using
the windscreen washer, or if the wiper
blade chatters when running, wax or an-
other material may be on the blade or
windscreen.
Clean the outside of the windscreen with
cleaning powder or an equivalent non ab-
rasive cleaner. Your windscreen is clean
if beads do not form when rinsing with
water.
