If youusealiquidairfreshener,
make sure you f asten it securely so it
does not spill as you drive. If you want to use an air f reshener/
deodorizer in the interior of your
vehicle, it is best to use a solid type.

chemicals that may cause parts of
the interior trim and f abric to crack
or discolor.
Clean the windows, inside and out,
with a commercially-available glass
cleaner. You can also use a mixture
of one part white vinegar to ten parts

belt anchors can cause the belts to
retract slowly. Wipe the insides of
the loops with a clean cloth
dampened in mild soap and warm
