(preferably cheesecloth). Cleaning should
start at the outside of the stain,
“feathering” toward the center. Keep
changing to a clean section of
the
cloth.
When you clean a stain from fabric,
immediately dry
the area with an air
hose, hair dryer, or heat lamp to help
prevent a cleaning ring. (See previous
NOTICE .)
Fabric Protection
Your Geo has upholstery that has been
treated
with Scotchgard’” Fabric
Protector, a
3M product. Scotchgard“
protects fabrics by repelling oil and
water, which are the carriers of most
stains. Even with this protection, you
still need to clean your upholstery often
to keep it looking new.
Further information on cleaning is
available on
1-800-433-3296 (in
Minnesota, 1-800-642-6 167).
Special Cleaning Problems
Greasy
or Oily Stains: Like grease, oil,
butter, margarine, shoe polish, coffee
with cream, chewing gum, cosmetic
creams, vegetable oils, wax crayon, tar
and asphalt.
Carefully scrape off excess stain.
Then follow the solvent-type
Shoe polish, wax crayons, tar and
instructions above.
asphalt will stain if left on a vehicle
seat fabric. They should be removed
as soon as possible. Be careful,
because the cleaner will dissolve them
and may cause them to bleed.

Service & Appearance Care
Cleaning the Top of the Instrument
Panel
Use only mild soap and water to clean
the top surfaces of the instrument panel.
Sprays containing silicones or waxes
may cause annoying reflections in the
windshield and even make it difficult to
see through the windshield under certain
conditions.
Care of Safety Belts
Keep belts clean and dry.
CAUTIVN
Do not bleach or dye safety
belts.
If you do, it may
severely weaken them. In a crash
they might not be able to provide
adequate protection. Clean safety
belts
only with mild soap and
lukewarm water.
Glass
Glass should be cleaned often. GM
Glass Cleaner (GM Part No. 1050427)
or a liquid household glass cleaner will
remove normal tobacco smoke and dust
films.
Don’t use abrasive cleaners on glass,
because they may cause scratches.
Avoid placing decals on the inside rear
window, since they may have to be
scraped
off later. If abrasive cleaners
are used on the inside of the rear
window, an electric defogger element
may be damaged.
Any temporary license
should not be attached across the
defogger grid.

Special Care for Canvas Top
To protect the canvas top:
After you wash the vehicle, make
sure the top is completely dry before
you open or remove
it.
Don’t get any vinyl cleaner on the
vehicle’s painted finish; it could leave
streaks.
Don’t go through automatic car
washes;
the canvas top could be
damaged.
The plastic windows are pliable and can
be scratched
if you don’t take these
precautions when you clean them:
Wipe off dust with a soft cotton cloth
moistened
with clean, cool or
lukewarm water. Don’t use a “dry”
cloth. Wipe
in one direction only, not
back and forth.
To remove frost, snow or ice, use
lukewarm water. Don’t use a scraper
or any de-icing fluids.
Wash the windows with a soft cloth
and clean, cool or lukewarm water. Never
use a dry cloth, hot water,
strong soap or detergent, solvents or
harsh cleaning agents. Rinse
thoroughly and wipe with a slightly
moist
soft, clean cloth.
Don’t put any labels, stickers or tape
on windows. It’s hard to remove
adhesives left on the window when such items are removed. If a sticker
or label must be removed, remove
any adhesive
left on the window while
the adhesive is still soft and sticky.
Press
on a new sticker or piece of
tape and then lift it off again; keep
doing this until all the adhesive lifts
off with the sticker or tape.

Service & Appearance Care
Finish Damage
Any stone chips, fractures or deep
scratches in the finish should be repaired
right away. Bare metal will corrode
quickly and may develop into a major
repair expense.
Minor chips and scratches can be
repaired with touch-up materials
available from your dealer or other
service outlets. Larger areas of finish
damage can be corrected in your
dealer’s body and paint shop.
Underbody Maintenance
Chemicals used for ice and snow
removal and dust control can collect on
the underbody. If these are not removed,
accelerated corrosion (rust) can occur on
the underbody parts such as fuel lines,
frame, floor pan, and exhaust system
even though they have corrosion
protection.
At least every spring, flush these
materials from the underbody
with plain
water. Clean any areas where mud and
other debris can collect. Dirt packed in
closed areas of the frame should be
loosened before being flushed. Your
dealer or an underbody vehicle washing
system can do this for you.
Chemical Paint Spotting
Some weather and atmospheric
conditions can create a chemical fallout.
Airborne pollutants can
fall upon and
attack painted surfaces on your vehicle. This damage can take two forms:
blotchy, ringlet-shaped discolorations,
and small irregular dark spots etched
into the paint surface.
Although no defect in the paint job
causes this, Geo will repair, at no
charge to the owner, the surfaces of new
vehicles damaged by this fallout
condition within
12 months or 12,000
miles (20 OOO km) of purchase,
whichever comes first.

Look at the silver-colored band inside
the fuse.
If the band is broken or
melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you
replace a bad fuse with a new
one of the
correct size.
If you ever have a problem on the road
and don't have a spare fuse, you can
borrow one. Just pick some feature of
your car that
you can get along without
- like the radio or cigarette lighter -
and use its fuse, if it is the size you
need. Replace it as soon as you can.
Before replacing a fuse turn every
vehicle electrical switch off.
