Fabric upholstery
Remove loose dirt with a vacuum clean-
er. Using a mild soap solution, rub stained
areas with a clean damp cloth. To remove
soap, rub the areas again with a cloth
dampened with water. Repeat this until
the stain is removed, or use a commercial
fabric cleaner for tougher stains. If you use
a fabric cleaner, carefully follow the man-
ufacturer’s instructions and precautions.
Seat belts
Clean seat belts with a mild soap and wa-
ter. Do not use bleach or dye on the belts.
They may weaken the fabric in the belts.Vinyl floor mats
Ordinary dirt can be removed from vinyl
with water or mild soap. Use a brush to
help loosen dirt. After the dirt is loosened,
rinse the mat thoroughly with water and
dry it in the shade.
Carpets
Remove dirt and soil as much as possible
with a vacuum cleaner. Using a mild soap
solution, rub stained areas with a clean
damp cloth. To remove soap, rub the ar-
eas again with a cloth dampened with wa-
ter. Repeat this until the stain is removed,
or use a commercial carpet cleaner for
tougher stains. If you use a carpet clean-
er, carefully follow the manufacturer’s in-
structions and precautions.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
IMPORTANT It is important that your ve-
hicle be kept clean and free from dirt. Fail-
ure to keep your vehicle clean may result
in fading of the paint or corrosion to var-
ious parts of the vehicle body.
VEHICLE CLEANING
When cleaning the interior
or exterior of the vehicle,
NEVER USE flammable solvents such
as lacquer thinners, gasoline, benzene
or cleaning materials such as bleach-
es or strong household detergents.
The materials could cause personal
injury or damage to the vehicle.
WARNING
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
Vinyl upholstery
Prepare a solution of soap or mild deter-
gent mixed with warm water. Apply the
solution to the vinyl with a sponge or soft
cloth and let it soak for a few minutes to
loosen dirt.
Rub the surface with a clean, damp cloth
to remove dirt and the soap solution. If
some dirt still remains on the surface, re-
peat this procedure.

When washing the vehicle, park it where
direct sunlight does not fall on it and fol-
low the instructions below:
❒Flush the underside of body and wheel
housings with pressurized water to re-
move mud and debris. Use plenty of wa-
ter.
IMPORTANT
When washing the vehicle:
❒Avoid directing steam or hot water of
more than 80°C (176°F) on plastic
parts.
❒To avoid damaging engine components,
do not use pressurized water in the en-
gine compartment.
❒Do not pour the water on the battery.
And wipe off the water which remains
on the battery. The water entering in-
side the battery possibly causes fluid
leakage.
❒Rinse the body to loosen the dirt. Re-
move dirt and mud from the body ex-
terior with running water. You may use
a soft sponge or brush. Do not use hard
materials which can scratch the paint
or plastic. Remember that the headlight
covers or lenses are made of plastic in
many cases.
IMPORTANT To avoid damage to the
paint or plastic surface, do not wipe the
dirt off without ample water. Be sure to
follow above procedure.
❒Wash the entire exterior with a mild
detergent or vehicle wash soap using
a sponge or soft cloth. The sponge or
cloth should be frequently soaked in the
soap solution.
IMPORTANT When using a commercial
vehicle wash product, observe the cau-
tions specified by the manufacturer. Nev-
er use strong household detergents or
soaps.
– Never attempt to wash
and wax your vehicle with
the engine running.
– When cleaning the underside of the
body and fender, where there may
be sharp-edged parts, you should
wear gloves and a long sleeved shirt
to protect your hands and arms from
being cut.
– After washing your vehicle, care-
fully test the brakes before driving to
make sure they have maintained
their normal effectiveness.
