They'll damage and discolor it. If these solutions get on the dashboard, wipe them off immediately. Fabric í Remove dust and loose dirt from fabric with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner. Clean it with a mild soap solution good for upholstery and carpets. Remove fresh spots immediately with a fabric spot cleaner. To keep the fabric looking clean and fresh, take care of it. Otherwise its color will be affected, it can be stained easily, and its fire-resistance may be reduced. CAUTION Do not use glazing agents. Glazing agents contain ingredients which may cause discoloration, wrinkling, cracks and peeling. CAUTION Use only recommended cleaners and procedures. Others may affect appearance and fire-resistance. Piano black panel The following parts are fitted with panels that have been treated with a special coating that resists scratching. l Center panel l Door switch panel l Steering wheel (partial) When the panel needs to be cleaned, use a soft cloth to wipe off dirt from the surface. NOTE Scratches or nicks on the panels resulting from the use of a hard brush or cloth may not be repairable. 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 is not uniform and may have scars, scratches, and wrinkles. Clean it with a leather cleaner or mild soap. If the leather gets wet from rain, remove the moisture as soon as possible and dry in a shaded area. If the seats get wet, promptly remove moisture with a dry cloth and allow it to further dry in a shaded area. If moisture is not removed, it will cause hardening and shrinkage of the leather. Do not leave vinyl products on the seats for long periods as they may affect the leather quality and coloring. í Some models. 8-47 Form No.8AT5-EA-09E
