Cleaning Vinyl

Use warm water and a clean cloth.

Rub with a clean, damp cloth to remove dirt. 
You may have to do it more than once.

Things like tar, asphalt and shoe polish will stain 
if you don’t get them off quickly. Use a clean cloth
and a vinyl/leather cleaner. See your dealer for 
this product.

Cleaning Leather

Use a soft cloth with lukewarm water and a mild soap or
saddle soap and wipe dry with a soft cloth. Then, let the
leather dry naturally. Do not use heat to dry.

D

For stubborn stains, use a leather cleaner. See your
dealer for this product.

Never use oils, varnishes, solvent

-

based or abrasive

cleaners, furniture polish or shoe polish on leather.

Soiled or stained leather should be cleaned
immediately. If dirt is allowed to work into the
finish, it can harm the leather.

Cleaning the Top of the Instrument Panel

Use only mild soap and water to clean the top surfaces
of the instrument panel. Sprays containing silicones or
waxes may cause annoying reflections in the windshield
and even make it difficult to see through the windshield
under certain conditions.
