way to clean vinyl.✽ ✽NOTICENever allow water or other liquids to
come in contact with electrical/elec-
tronic components inside the vehicle
as this may damage them.

interior trim Vinyl Remove dust and loose dirt from
vinyl with a whisk broom or vacuum
cleaner. Clean vinyl surfaces with a

diately with a fabric spot cleaner. If

and its color can be affected. Also, its
fire-resistant properties can be
reduced if the material is not proper-
ly maintained.✽ ✽NOTICEUsing anything but recommended
cleaners and procedures may affect
