Lap/Shoulder Belt Webbing Cleaning
Clean the belt webbing with any mild soap solution
recommended for cleaning upholstery or carpet. Follow
the instructions provided with the soap. Do not bleach
or re-dye the webbing because this may weaken it.
Interior Window Glass Cleaning
If the interior glass surfaces of the vehicle become
fogged (that is, covered with an oily, greasy or waxy
film), they should be cleaned with glass cleaner.
Follow the directions on the glass cleaner container.
CAUTION
Using anything but recommended cleaners and
procedures may affect the fabric’s appearance
and fire-resistant properties.✻ ✻
NOTICE
Do not scrape or scratch the inside of the rear
window. This could damage the rear window
defroster grid.
