Vehicle Care 9-1
At least every spring, flush these
materials from the underbody
with plain water. Clean any areas
where mud and debris can collect.
Dirt packed in close areas of
the frame should be loosened before
being flushed. Your dealer/retailer
or an underbody car washing
system can do this.
Chemical Paint Spotting
Some weather and atmospheric
conditions can create a chemical
fallout. Airborne pollutants can
fall upon and attack painted surfaces
on the vehicle. This damage can
take two forms: blotchy, ring-shaped
discolorations, and small, irregular
dark spots etched into the paint
surface.
Interior Care
The vehicle’s interior will continue
to look its best if it is cleaned often.
Dust and dirt can accumulate on the
upholstery and cause damage to the
carpet, fabric, leather, and plastic
surfaces. Stains should be removed
quickly as extreme heat could cause
them to set rapidly.
Lighter colored interiors may require
more frequent cleaning. Newspapers
and garments that can transfer color
to home furnishings can also transfer
color to the vehicle’s interior.
Remove dust from small buttons
and knobs with a small brush
with soft bristles.
Your dealer/retailer has products
for cleaning the vehicle’s interior.
When cleaning the vehicle’s interior,
only use cleaners specifically
designed for the surfaces that are
being cleaned. Permanent damagecan result from using cleaners on
surfaces for which they were not
intended. Apply the cleaner directly
to the cleaning cloth to prevent
over-spray. Remove any accidental
over-spray from other surfaces
immediately.
Notice:Using abrasive cleaners
when cleaning glass surfaces on
the vehicle, could scratch the
glass and/or cause damage to
the rear window defogger. When
cleaning the glass on the vehicle,
use only a soft cloth and glass
cleaner.
Cleaners can contain solvents that
can become concentrated in the
vehicle’s interior. Before using
cleaners, read and adhere to all
safety instructions on the label.
While cleaning the vehicle’s interior,
maintain adequate ventilation by
opening the vehicle’s doors and
windows.
