Cleaning the interior
&
CAUTION
Do not wash the vehicle floor with
water, or allow water
to
get onto the
floor when cleaning the vehicle interi-
or or exterior. Water may get into
audio components or
other
electrical
components above or under the ve-
hicle carpet (or floor mat) and cause
a malfunction; and it may cause body
corrosion.
Vinyl interior
The
vinyl upholstery may be easily
cleaned with a mild soap or detergent
and water.
First
vacuum
over
the
upholstery
to re-
move loose dirt. Then, using a sponge
or
soft
cloth, apply the
soap
solution
to the
vinyl.
After
allowing it to
soak
in
for
a
few
minutes to loosen the dirt, remove the
dirt
and wipe off the soap with a clean
damp
cloth.
If
all the dirt do not
come
off, re-
peat the procedure.
Commercial
foaming-
type
vinyl cleaners are
also
available
which work well.
Follow
the
manufacturer's
instructions.

Carpets
Use a good
foam-type

clean the carpets.

vacuuming

duce a foam.
To
shampoo
the
carpets,
use
a
sponge
or
brush

apply
the foam.
Rub in
overlapping
circles.

obtained by keeping
the
carpet
as
dry
as
possible. Read
the
shampoo
instructions
and
follow
them
closely.
