Keep the nozzle at a 305 mm (12 in)  
distance and 90° angle to your

vacuum cleaner or brush.  
Wipe the surface with a soft, damp  
cloth and a mild soap and water  
solution. Dry the area with a clean, soft  
cloth.  
Frequently remove particles such as bird  
droppings, tree sap, insect deposits, tar  
spots, road salt and industrial fallout to  
avoid paint surface damage.  
If a ring forms on the fabric after spot  
cleaning, clean the entire area  
immediately, but do not soak or the  
ring will set.  
Frequently wash the underbody of your  
vehicle if salt is applied on the road.  
We recommend that you wax the  
paintwork once or twice a year.  
Seatbelts  
Note: Do not apply polish in strong sunlight  
as this dries the polish too quickly.  
Note: Do not allow polish to come in  
contact with unpainted plastic surfaces as  
it could be difficult to remove.  
Note: Do not apply polish to the windshield  
or rear window. A contaminated windshield  
or contaminated wiper blades may lead to  
increased wiper noise, reduced wipe quality  
or reduced rain sensor performance.  
WARNING: Do not use cleaning  
solvents, bleach or dye on the vehicle's  
seatbelts, as these actions may weaken  
the belt webbing.  
WARNING: On vehicles equipped  
with seat-mounted airbags, do not use  
chemical solvents or strong detergents.  
Such products could contaminate the  
side airbag system and affect

performance of the side airbag in a crash.  
Note: Do not allow air fresheners and hand  
sanitizers to spill on interior surfaces. If a  
spill occurs, wipe off immediately. Damage  
may not be covered by the vehicle Warranty.  
Note: Do not use household cleaning  
products or glass cleaners, which can stain  
and discolor the fabric and affect the flame  
retardant abilities of the seat materials.  
Note: Do not use abrasives, or chemical  
solvents to clean them.  
Note: Do not allow moisture to penetrate  
the seatbelt retractor mechanism.  
Cleaning may safely be carried out using  
mild soap and water. Let them dry  
naturally, away from artificial heat.  
Note: We recommend distilled water when  
cleaning.
