Seats And Fabric Parts
Use a specific product to clean fabric uphol-
stery and carpeting.
Seat Belt Maintenance
Do not bleach, dye or clean the belts with
chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners. This
will weaken the fabric. Sun damage can also
weaken the fabric.
If the belts need cleaning, use a mild soap
solution or lukewarm water. Do not remove
the belts from the vehicle to wash them. Dry
with a soft cloth. Replace the belts if they appear frayed or
worn or if the buckles do not work properly.
CAUTION!
Avoid washing with rollers and/or brushes
in washing stations. Wash the vehicle only
by hand using neutral pH detergents; dry it
with a wet chamois leather. Abrasive
products and/or polishes should not be
used for cleaning the car. Bird droppings
must be washed off immediately and
thoroughly as the acid they contain is
particularly aggressive. Avoid (if at all
possible) parking the vehicle under trees;
remove vegetable resins immediately as,
when dried, it may only be possible to
remove them with abrasive products and/or
polishes, which is highly inadvisable as
they could alter the typical opaqueness of
the paint. Do not use pure windshield
washer fluid for cleaning the front
windshield and rear window; dilute it min.
50% with water. Only use pure windshield
washer fluid when strictly necessary due to
outside temperature conditions.
WARNING!
Do not use volatile solvents for cleaning
purposes. Many are potentially flammable,
and if used in closed areas they may cause
respiratory harm.
WARNING!
A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a
collision and leave you with no protection.
Inspect the belt system periodically,
checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts.
Damaged parts must be replaced
immediately. Do not disassemble or modify
the system. Seat belt assemblies must be
replaced after a collision if they have been
damaged (i.e., bent retractor, torn
webbing, etc.).

Plastic And Coated Parts
Use a specific product to clean vinyl
upholstery.
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 cloth. A mild soapsolution may be used, but do not use
high alcohol content or abrasive
cleaners. If soap is used, wipe clean with
a clean damp cloth.
2. Dry with a soft cloth.
Leather Parts
Your leather upholstery can be best
preserved by regular cleaning with a damp
soft cloth. Small particles of dirt can act as
an abrasive and damage the leather uphol -
stery and should be removed promptly with a
damp cloth. Care should be taken to avoid
soaking your leather upholstery with any
liquid. Please do not use polishes, oils,
cleaning fluids, solvents, detergents, or
ammonia-based cleaners to clean your
leather upholstery. Application of a leather
conditioner is not required to maintain the
original condition.
NOTE:
If equipped with light colored leather, it
tends to show any foreign material, dirt, and
fabric dye transfer more so than darker
colors. The leather is designed for easy
cleaning.
Glass Surfaces
All glass surfaces should be cleaned on a
regular basis with any commercial house -
hold-type glass cleaner. Never use an abra -
sive type cleaner. Use caution when cleaning
the inside rear window equipped with elec -
tric defrosters or windows equipped with
radio antennas. Do not use scrapers or other
sharp instruments that may scratch the
elements.
When cleaning the rear view mirror, spray
cleaner on the towel or cloth that you are
using. Do not spray cleaner directly on the
mirror.
CAUTION!
Direct contact of air fresheners, insect
repellents, suntan lotions, or hand
sanitizers to the plastic, painted, or
decorated surfaces of the interior may
cause permanent damage. Wipe away
immediately.
Damage caused by these type of
products may not be covered by your
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
CAUTION!
Do not use Alcohol and Alcohol-based and/
or Ketone based cleaning products to
clean leather upholstery, as damage to the
upholstery may result.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION
NUMBER
The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is
found on the left front corner of the instru-
ment panel. The VIN is visible from outside
of the vehicle through the windshield. The
VIN number also is stamped into the right
front body, on the right front seat cross
member. With the seat in the rear most posi -
tion a flap in the carpet can be cut open and
lifted to reveal the VIN. It also appears on the
Automobile Information Disclosure Label
affixed to a window on your vehicle, the
vehicle registration, and the title. The VIN is also stamped on either right or left
hand side of the engine block.
VIN Location
Right Front Body VIN Location
NOTE:
It is illegal to remove or alter the VIN.
BRAKE SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with dual hydraulic
brake systems. If either of the two hydraulic
systems loses normal capability, the
remaining system will still function.
However, there will be some loss of overall
braking effectiveness. You may notice
increased pedal travel during application,
greater pedal force required to slow or stop,
and potential activation of the Brake
Warning Light.
In the event power assist is lost for any
reason (i.e., repeated brake applications with
the engine off) the brakes will still function.
However, the effort required to brake the
vehicle will be much greater than that
required with the power system operating.
