Appearance Care
Panel Maintenance
If a panel becomes soiled, wipe it off with
a soft cloth soaked in clean water and
thoroughly wrung out.
If some areas require further cleaning, use
the following procedure:
1. Wipe the soiled area with a soft cloth
soaked in a mild detergent (approx. 5
%) diluted with water.
2. Wipe off the remaining detergent using
a cloth soaked in clean water and
wrung out well.
NOTE
Be particularly careful when cleaning
shiny surface panels and metallic parts
such as plating as they can be scratched
easily.
Cleaning the Window Interiors
If the windows become covered with an
oily, greasy, or waxy
fi
lm, clean them with
glass cleaner. Follow the directions on the
container.
CAUTION
     
Do not scrape or scratch the inside of
the window glass. It could damage the
thermal fi laments and the antenna lines.
      When washing the inside of the window
glass, use a soft cloth dampened in
lukewarm water, gently wiping the
thermal fi laments and the antenna lines.
  Use of glass cleaning products could
damage the thermal fi laments and the
antenna lines.
Cleaning the Floor Mats
Rubber
fl
oor mats should be cleaned with
mild soap and water only.
WARNING
Do not use rubber cleaners, such as tire
cleaner or tire shine, when cleaning
rubber fl oor mats:
Cleaning the rubber fl oor mats with
rubber cleaning products makes the
fl oor mats slippery.
This may cause an accident when
depressing the accelerator, brake, or
clutch (Manual transaxle) pedal or
when getting in or out of the vehicle.
After removing the
fl
oor mats for cleaning,
always reinstall them securely (page
3-47 ).
