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 environmental pollution control regula-
tions.
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 materials.
CAUTION
l Cleaning products can be dangerous. Always
follow the instructions of the cleaning prod-
uct supplier.
l To avoid damage, never use the following to
clean your vehicle:
• Petrol
• Paint Thinner
• Benzine
• Kerosene
• Turpentine
• Naphtha
• Lacquer Thinner
• Carbon Tetrachloride
• Nail Polish Remover
• Acetone
Cleaning the interior of your
vehicle
E00900200611
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
E00900301459
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 it 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, when applied to the instru-
ment panels or other parts, may cause reflec-
tions 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 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.
