Special care is needed to protect this coating. NOTE l Interior Care qDashboard Precautions Prevent caustic solutions such as perfume and cosmetic oils from contacting the dashboard. They'll damage and discolor it. If these solutions get on the dashboard, wipe them off immediately. Don't use a wire brush or any abrasive cleaner, polishing compound, or solvent on aluminum wheels. They may damage the coating. Only use a mild soap or neutral detergent and always use a sponge or soft cloth to clean the wheels. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm or cold water. Also, be sure to clean the wheels after driving on dusty or salted roads. This helps prevent corrosion. Avoid washing your vehicle in an automatic car wash that uses highspeed or hard brushes. If your aluminum wheels lose luster, wax the wheels. CAUTION Do not use glazing agents. Glazing agents contain ingredients which may cause discoloration, wrinkling, cracks and peeling. l qCleaning the Upholstery and Interior Trim Vinyl Remove dust and loose dirt from vinyl with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner. Clean vinyl with a leather-and-vinyl cleaner. Leather í Real leather isn't uniform and may have scars, scratches, and wrinkles. Clean it with a leather cleaner or mild soap.
