Appearance Care
Interior Trim
Remove dust and loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner.
Wipe the vinyl with a clean, damp cloth or sponge. Stains can
be removed with a commercially available vinyl cleaner.
CAUTION: Do not use thinner, gasoline, kerosene, naphtha or
other solvents on the interior. They are toxic, flammable and
hazardous and could damage the material you're cleaning.
Windows
A 10 to 1 mix of water and white vinegar, or a commercially
available glass cleaner may be used to clean windows and to
remove the dust film sometimes caused by the ingredients us-
ed in interior vinyls and plastics.
NOTE: Do not put this solution in the windshield washer
reservoir, it will damage the windshield washer pump.
Be careful not to scratch or damage the defogger wires when
cleaning the inside of the rear window; wipe the window
horizontally along the wires, not up and down. Dry the win-
dows with a lint-free cloth or paper towel. Keep all the win-
dows clean for maximum visibility.
Exterior Care
Washing
Rinse all loose dirt off the car by spraying it with lukewarm or
cold water. Do not use hot water.
Wash using a soft-bristle brush, sponge or cloth with water
containing a mild detergent such as a liquid dishwashing
detergent.
Remove oil, tar, tree sap, etc., with tar remover or turpentine.
Remove road salt, insects, etc., with mild detergent and
lukewarm water. Any of these substances may damage the
finish if left on painted surfaces.
Rinse the car well. Promptly wipe with a chamois or soft towel
to prevent water-spotting. Do not let water or soap air-dry on
painted surfaces.
During wiping, inspect the surface for stone chips and scrat-
ches; paint them with touch-up paint so they won't rust
(touch-up paint is available through your Honda dealer).
For further instructions on corrosion protection, refer to the
Rust Prevention section on the next pages.
