Additional cleaning (for more difficult
stains)—
Follow the procedure shown below using
a mild cleaning solution composed of the
following ingredient.
!
110 g (4 oz.) of chlorine bleach
!
60 g (2 oz.) of soap (hand soap)
!
3.8 L (1.0 gal., 0.8 Imp. gal.) of luke-

1. Rinse the top, then spread the mild
cleaning solution on the entire top. Do
not put excessive amounts of liquid on
the fabric.
2. Scrub with a small, soft bristle hand −
brush. Add water as needed until the
cleaner becomes soapy. Allow solution
to settle for two to five minutes. Use
a cloth or sponge to remove dirt so it
will not be ground into the top. Be
careful not to allow any cleaner to dry
on the body paint as it may cause
streaks.
3. Rinse thoroughly.
If any dirt is left, repeat the procedure.
After the top has been cleaned, rinse the
vehicle with clean water to remove all the
cleaner.
After cleaning, always make sure the top
is completely dry before you lower it. Low-
ering the top while wet or damp may
cause interior water damage, water stains
or mildew of the top material.
CAUTION
!
Vehicles with side airbags and cur-
tain shield airbags:
Be careful not to splash water or
spill liquid on the floor. This may
prevent the side airbags from acti-
vating correctly, resulting in serious
injury.
!
Do not wash the vehicle floor with
water, or allow water to get onto
the floor when cleaning the vehicle
interior or exterior. Water may get
into audio components or other
electrical components above or un-
der the floor carpet (or mat) and
cause a malfunction; and it may
cause body corrosion.

The vinyl upholstery may be easily
