Dashboard Precautions

Prevent caustic solutions such as perfume 
and cosmetic oils from contacting the 
dashboard. They’ll damage and discolor 
it. If these solutions get on the dashboard, 
wipe them off immediately.

Cleaning the Upholstery and 
Interior Trim

Vinyl

Remove dust and loose dirt from vinyl 
with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner.
Clean vinyl with a leather-and-vinyl 
cleaner.

Leather

Real leather isn’t uniform and may have 
scars, scratches, and wrinkles. Clean it 
with a leather cleaner or mild soap.

Wipe it with a 

damp

 soft cloth; then dry 

and buff it with a 

dry

 soft cloth.

Fabric

Remove dust and loose dirt from fabric 
with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner.
Clean it with a mild soap solution good 
for upholstery and carpets. Remove fresh 
spots immediately with a fabric spot 
cleaner.

To keep the fabric looking clean and 
fresh, take care of it. Otherwise its color 
will be affected, it can be stained easily, 
and its fire-resistance may be reduced.

Cleaning the Lap/Shoulder Belt 
Webbing

Clean the webbing with a mild soap 
solution recommended for upholstery or 
carpets. Follow instructions. Don’t bleach 
or dye the webbing; this may weaken it.

After cleaning the belts, thoroughly dry 
the belt webbing and make sure there is 
no remaining moisture before retracting 
them.

Cleaning the Window Interiors

If the windows become covered with an 
oily, greasy, or waxy film, clean them 
with glass cleaner. Follow the directions 
on the container.

Interior Care

Use only recommended cleaners and 
procedures. Others may affect 
appearance and fire-resistance.

Damaged Seat Belt:
Using damaged seat belts is 
dangerous. In a collision, damaged 
belts cannot provide adequate 
protection. Have your Authorized 
Mazda Dealer replace damaged belts 
immediately.

the rear window. You may damage the
