3 Interior cleaning
•
Do not use any organic solvent (for example,
thinner or gasoline) or any acidic or alkaline sol-
vent. It could cause discoloration and/or stains.
• Dirt can leave marks or stains and should be
cleaned off as soon as possible.
• Clean the interior of the vehicle with a sponge or
soft cloth. Remove stubborn dirt with a soft
brush.
• Use the appropriate cleaning technique for each
interior item to avoid discoloration and stains.
• Do not water-wash the floor with the floor mat
left in place as this could cause the floor to rust
and could also damage the relays, switches and
other electrical components.
• If water collects in the cab, either remove the
drain plug from the floor and allow the water to
drain out or wipe up all the water using a cloth.
3.1 Cleaning interior trim
Keep the vehicle’s interior trim clean at all times.
1. Clean out all dust on the trim with a vacuum
cleaner or soft brush.
2. Wipe vinyl trim areas carefully with cloth damp-
ened with water.
3. Wipe dirt and marks off the trim with a commer-
cially available cleaner.
3.2 General dirt
A multi-purpose powder-type cleaner is recom-
mended for cleaning general dirt. Soapsuds are
also usable.
1. Clean out all loose dust with a vacuum cleaner
or soft brush.
2. Dilute the cleaner in water to the specified con-
centration. The best results can usually be
obtained with a thinner solution.
When soapsuds are used, apply them with a
sponge or soft cloth.
3. Wipe up any remaining cleaner with a towel or
other absorbent cloth.
4. Finish cleaning by gently wiping the surface with
a dry soft cloth to polish it.
3.3 Grease and oil
Use this method to remove contamination by
grease, oil, butter, margarine, shoe polish, white
coffee, chewing gum, beauty cream, vegetable oil,
wax, crayon, tar, and asphalt.
• Wipe off the contamination, then apply a fabric
cleaning solution.
