2010 DODGE NITRO Owners Manual

When cleaning the rear view mirror, spray cleaner on the
towel or rag that you are using. Do not spray cleaner
directly on the mirror.
Cleaning Plastic Instrument Cluster Lenses
The lenses in front of the instruments in this vehicle are
molded in clear plastic. When cleaning the lenses, care
must be taken to avoid scratching the plastic.
1. Clean with a wet soft rag. A mild soap solution may be
used, but do not use high alcohol content or abrasive
cleaners. If soap is used, wipe clean with a clean damp
rag.
2. Dry with a soft cloth.
Seat Belt Maintenance
Do not bleach, dye or clean the seat belts with chemical
solvents or abrasive cleaners. This will weaken the fabric.
Sun damage will also weaken the fabric.If the seat belts need cleaning, use MOPAR
Total Clean
or equivalent, a mild soap solution, or lukewarm water.
Do not remove the seat belts from the vehicle to wash
them.
Replace the seat belts if they appear frayed or worn or if
the buckles do not work properly.

erly positioned and fully latched. Failure to do so
may allow water to get into the integrated power
module, and possibly result in a electrical system
failure.
