Fabric seat cover using precautions
(If equipped)
Please clean the fabric seats regularly
with a vacuum cleaner in consideration
of fabric material characteristics. If
they are heavily soiled with beverage
stains, etc., use a suitable interior
cleaner. To prevent damage to seat
covers, wipe off the seat covers down
to the seams with a large wiping mo‐
tion and moderate pressure using a
soft sponge or microfiber cloth. Velcro
closures on clothing or sharp objects
may cause snagging or scratches on
the surface of the seats. Make sure not
to rub such objects against the surface.
Cleaning the upholstery and
interior trim
Vinyl
Remove dust and loose dirt from vinyl
with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner.
Clean vinyl surfaces with a vinyl clean‐
er.
Fabric
Remove dust and loose dirt from fabric
with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner.
Clean with a mild soap solution recom‐
mended for upholstery or carpets. Re‐
move fresh spots immediately with a
fabric spot cleaner. If fresh spots do
not receive immediate attention, the
fabric can be stained and its color can
be affected. Also, its fire-resistant
properties can be reduced if the mate‐
rial is not properly maintained.
CAUTION
Using anything but recommended
cleaners and procedures may affect
the fabric’s appearance and fire-re‐
sistant properties.
Cleaning the lap/shoulder belt
webbing
Clean the belt webbing with any mild
soap solution recommended for clean‐
ing upholstery or carpet. Follow the in‐
structions provided with the soap. Do
not bleach or re-dye the webbing be‐
cause this may weaken it.
Cleaning the interior window glass
If the interior glass surfaces of the ve‐
hicle become fogged (that is, covered
with an oily, greasy or waxy film), they
should be cleaned with glass cleaner.
Follow the directions on the glass
cleaner container.
CAUTION
Do not scrape or scratch the inside
of the rear window. This may result
in damage to the rear window de‐
froster grid.
