Brake
Fluid
Brake
fluid
absorbs
moisture
easily,
and
moisture
in

affects
brake
performance

reliability
.
This
is
why
brake

should
be
flushed
from
the
system
every
two
years
.
When
re-
placing
or
adding
brake
fluid,
use
only
new

unopened
containers
.
Do
not
use

Waxing
For

apply

dried
.
Use

.
Waxing
is

You
can
tell
when
waxing
is
required
by
looking
at
the
finísh
when
it
is
wet
.
If
the
water
coats
the
paint
in
smooth
sheets
instead
of
forming

a

This
method
can
also
beused
to

.
Interior
Care
Dirt
spots
can
usually
be
removed
with
lukewarm
soapy
wa-
ter
or
a
dry
foam
cleaner
.
Use
spot
remover
for
grease
and
o¡I
spots
.
Do
not
pour

(quid
directly
on
the
carpetor
fabric,
but
dampen
a
clean
cloth
and
rub
carefully,starting
at
the
edge
of
the

and
working
inward
.
Do
not
use
gasoline,

Leather
Upholstery
and
Trim
Leather
upholstery
and
trim
should
be
periodically
cleaned
using
a
slightly
damp
cotton
or
wool
cloth
.
The
idea
is
to
get
rid
of
the
dirtin
the
creases
and
pores
that
can
cause
brittleness
and
premature
aging
.
On
heavily
soiled
areas,
usea
mild
deter-
gent
(such
as
Woolite®)
or
other
specially
formulated
leather
r
cleaners
.
Use
two
tablespoons
to
one
quart
of
cold
water
.
Dry
the
trim
and
upholstery
completely
using
a
soft
cloth
.
Regular
use
of
agood
quality
leather
conditioner
will
reduce
drying
and
crackingof
