Vehicle care precautions
In order to maintain the value of your vehi-
cle, it is necessary to perform regular mainte-
nance using the proper procedures. Always
maintain your vehicle in compliance with en-
vironmental pollution control regulations.
Carefully select the materials used for wash-
ing, etc., to be sure that they do not contain
corrosives. If in doubt, we recommend you to
consult a specialist for selection of these ma-
terials.

uct supplier.

Cleaning the interior of your
vehicle
After cleaning the interior of your vehicle
with water, cleaner or similar, wipe and dry
in a shady, well-ventilated area.
NOTE
l To clean the inside of the tailgate window,
always use a soft cloth and wipe the window
glass along the demister heater element so as
not to cause damage.
CAUTION
l Do not use organic substances (solvents,
benzine, kerosene, alcohol, petrol, etc.) or
alkaline or acidic solutions.
These chemicals can cause discolouring,
staining or cracking of the surface.
If you use cleaners or polishing agents, make
sure their ingredients do not include the sub-
stances mentioned above.
Plastic, vinyl leather, fabric
and flocked parts
1. Lightly wipe these off with a soft cloth
soaked in a mild soap and water solu-
tion.
2. Dip cloth in fresh water and wring out
well. Using this cloth, wipe off the deter-
gent thoroughly.
NOTE
l
Do not use cleaners, conditioners, and pro-
tectants containing silicons or wax.
Such products can cause discolouring and,
when applied to the instrument panels or
other parts, may cause reflections on the
windscreen and obscure vision.
Also, if such products get on the switches of
the electrical accessories, it may lead to fail-
ure of these accessories.
l The surface of gloss center panel may be
scratched if it is rubbed hard by a brush, syn-
thetic fiber or hard cloth.
l
Do not use synthetic fiber or dry cloth. They
can cause discolouring or damage the sur-
face.
l Do not place a deodorizer on the instrument
panel or near lamps and instruments. The in-
gredients for deodorizer can cause discolour-
ing or cracking.
Upholstery
1. To maintain the value of your new vehi-
cle, handle the upholstery carefully and
keep the interior clean.
Use a vacuum cleaner and brush to clean
the seats. If stained, vinyl and synthetic
leather should be cleaned with an appro-
priate cleaner, Cloth fabrics can be
cleaned with either upholstery cleaner or
a mild soap and water solution.
