Vehicle Care

Coated Moldings

Coated moldings should be cleaned.

.

When lightly soiled, wipe with a
sponge or soft, lint-free cloth
dampened with water.

.

When heavily soiled, use warm
soapy water.

Fabric/Carpet/Suede

Start by vacuuming the surface
using a soft brush attachment. If a
rotating vacuum brush attachment is
being used, only use it on the floor
carpet. Before cleaning, gently
remove as much of the soil as
possible:

.

Gently blot liquids with a paper
towel. Continue blotting until no
more soil can be removed.

.

For solid soils, remove as much
as possible prior to vacuuming.

To clean:

1. Saturate a clean, lint-free

colorfast cloth with water.
Microfiber cloth is
recommended to prevent lint
transfer to the fabric or carpet.

2. Remove excess moisture by

gently wringing until water does
not drip from the cleaning cloth.

3. Start on the outside edge of the

soil and gently rub toward the
center. Fold the cleaning cloth
to a clean area frequently to
prevent forcing the soil in to the
fabric.

4. Continue gently rubbing the

soiled area until there is no
longer any color transfer from
the soil to the cleaning cloth.

5. If the soil is not completely

removed, use a mild soap
solution followed only by plain
water.

If the soil is not completely
removed, it may be necessary to
use a commercial upholstery
cleaner or spot lifter. Test a small
hidden area for colorfastness before
using a commercial upholstery
cleaner or spot lifter. If ring
formation occurs, clean the entire
fabric or carpet.

After cleaning, use a paper towel to
blot excess moisture.

Cleaning High Gloss Surfaces
and Vehicle Information and
Radio Displays

Use a microfiber cloth on high gloss
surfaces or vehicle displays. First,
use a soft bristle brush to remove
dirt that can scratch the surface.
Then gently clean by rubbing with a
microfiber cloth. Never use window
cleaners or solvents. Periodically
hand wash the microfiber cloth
separately, using mild soap. Do not
use bleach or fabric softener. Rinse
thoroughly and air dry before
next use.

Caution

Do not attach a device with a
suction cup to the display. This
may cause damage and would
not be covered by the vehicle
warranty.
