Cleaning of Interior
If the interior is often cleaned, it will stay in
good conditions. Dust and dirt may accu-
mulate on the vehicle interior, and cause
damages to the surfaces of floor carpets,
fabrics, leathers and plastic products. The
stains should be removed immediately, as
extremely high temperature may cause
them to solidify quickly. If the color of the
vehicle interior is very light, it needs to be
cleaned more frequently. The newspaper
and clothing which are easy to fade and
stain the furniture and fabric may also stain
your vehicle interior. Flick the dust from the
small buttons and knobs with a small soft
brush. When cleaning the vehicle interior,
use only special cleaners to clean the sur-
face of the vehicle interior. Failure to do so
may cause permanent damage to the vehi-
cle. To prevent excessive spraying amount,
spray the cleaner directly to a clean rag. If
the cleaner is sprayed on the surfaces of
other objects in the vehicle accidentally,
wipe it off immediately.
When cleaning the glass surface on
the vehicle, using abrasive cleaner
may scratch the glass and/or cause dam-
ages to rear window defogger. Therefore,
use only a soft cloth and glass cleaner
when cleaning the glass on the vehicle.
The cleaner contains solvent that may con-
dense on the vehicle interior. Read and fol-
low all safety instructions on the label
before using the cleaner. When cleaning
the vehicle interior, open the doors and win-
dows to secure good ventilation.
Do not use the following cleaners or meth-
ods to clean the interior:
•
Do not use a razor blade or other sharp
objects to remove the dirt on the interior
surface.
•
Never use a hard brush. It may cause
damage to the interior surface of the
vehicle.
•
Never apply excessive force or force-
fully wipe the surface with a cleaning
rag.
•
It will not enhance the decontamination
effect. On the contrary, this may dam-
age the interior.
•
Use only a mild and neutral soap. Avoid
using a strong detergent or degreasing
soap. Excessive use of the soap may
leave traces and adsorb the dirt.
•
Do not wet the interior during cleaning.
Using organic solvents such as naphtha or
alcohol may damage the vehicle interior.
