Vehicle cleaning
Vinyl upholstery
Park your vehicle in a dry, well-venti-
lated area
Prepare a solution of soap or mild deter-
gent dissolved in warm water. Apply the
solution to the vinyl with a sponge or soft
cloth and let it soak for a few minutes to
loosen dirt.
Do not park your vehicle in a damp, poorly-
ventilated area. If you often wash your
vehicle in the garage and place it there in
wet condition, your garage may be damp.
The high humidity in the garage may
cause or accelerate corrosion. A wet vehi-
cle may corrode even in a heated garage if
the ventilation is poor.
Rub the surface with a clean, damp cloth
to remove dirt and the soap solution. If
some dirt still remains on the surface,
repeat this procedure.
Fabric upholstery
WARNING
Remove loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner.
Using a mild soap solution, rub stained
areas with a clean damp cloth. To remove
soap, rub the areas again with a cloth
dampened with water. Repeat this until the
stain is removed, or use a commercial fab-
ric cleaner for tougher stains. If you use a
fabric cleaner, carefully follow the manu-
facturer’s instructions and precautions.
Do not apply additional undercoating
or rust preventive coating on or
around exhaust system components
such as the catalytic converter and
exhaust pipes. A fire could be started
if the undercoating substance
becomes overheated.

detergents. The materials could
cause personal injury or damage to
the vehicle.
