Maintenance and care
Remove dirt and dust using a
vacuum cleaner. Wipe dirty
surfaces with a cloth damp-
ened with lukewarm water.
If dirt cannot be removed,
wipe it off with a soft cloth
dampened with neutral deter-
gent diluted to approximately
1%.
Wring out any excess water
from the cloth and thoroughly
wipe off remaining traces of
detergent and water.
■Shampooing the carpets
There are several commercial foam-
ing-type cleaners available. Use a
sponge or brush to apply the foam.
Rub in overlapping circles. Do not
use water. Wipe dirty surfaces and
let them dry. Excellent results are
obtained by keeping the carpet as
dry as possible.
■Handling the seat belts
Clean with mild soap and lukewarm
water using a cloth or sponge. Also
check the belts periodically for
excessive wear, fraying or cuts.
Cleaning and protect-
ing the vehicle interior

ner appropriate to each
component and its material.

■Water in the vehicle
●Do not splash or spill liquid in
the vehicle.
Doing so may cause electrical
components, etc. to malfunc-
tion or catch fire.
●Do not get any of the SRS com-
ponents or wiring in the vehicle
interior wet.
( P. 3 1 )
An electrical malfunction may
cause the airbags to deploy or
not function properly, resulting
in death or serious injury.

resulting in death or serious
injury.
■Cleaning the interior (espe-
cially instrument panel)
Do not use polish wax or polish
cleaner. The instrument panel
may reflect off the windshield,
obstructing the driver’s view and
leading to an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.

of detergent, as they may dis-
color the vehicle interior or
