CLEANING THE INTERIOR
Plastic materials
Clean plastic-faced materials with diluted upholstery cleaner, then
wipe with a damp cloth.
NOTE: DO NOT polish dashboard components - these should remain
non-reflective.
Carpet and fabrics
Clean with diluted upholstery cleaner - test a concealed area first.
Leather
Clean leather trim with warm water and a non-detergent soap.
Dry and polish the leather with a dry, clean, lint-free cloth.
NOTE: DO NOT use petrol, detergents, furniture creams or polishes as
cleaning agents.
Instrument pack, clock and audio system displays
Clean with a dry cloth only. DO NOT use cleaning fluids or
sprays.
Audio system detachable control panel
Periodically clean the electrical contacts on the back of the control
panel and the matching contacts on the audio unit with a clean,
dry, lint-free cloth. Use methylated spirits if available.
Airbag module covers
To prevent damage to the airbag SRS, the steering wheel centre
pad and the area of the dashboard containing the passenger airbag
*
should ONLY be cleaned sparingly with a damp cloth and
upholstery cleaner.
DO NOT allow these areas to be flooded with liquid and DO
NOT use petrol, detergent, furniture cream or polishes.
Seat belts
Extend the belts, then use warm water and a non-detergent soap
to clean. Allow the belts to dry naturally; DO NOT retract them
or use the car until they are completely dry.
DO NOT use bleaches, dyes or cleaning solvents on seat belts.
Loadspace floor (Van models only)
When cleaning, use water or other liquids sparingly. Flooding
the floor area or using excessive quantities of liquid may result
in penetration of the joints in the floor panels causing damage to the
electrical components beneath.
