MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 233 NOTE: Never scrape the windows with squeegees, razor blades, or other sharp instruments. • Clean with a wet soft rag. A mild soap solution may be used, but do not use high alcohol content or abrasive cleaners. If using soap, wipe clean with a clean damp rag or chamois cloth. • Dry with a soft tissue. Leather or Vinyl Seat/Trim Care and Cleaning Leather is best preserved by regular cleaning with a damp soft cloth. Small particles of dirt can act as an abrasive and damage the leather surface and should be removed immediately with a damp cloth. Stubborn soils can be removed easily with a soft cloth and Mopar௡ Total Clean or equivalent. Care should be taken to avoid soaking the leather with any liquid. Please do not use polishes, oils, cleaning fluids, solvents, detergents, or ammonia-based cleaners to clean the leather. Application of a leather conditioner is not required to maintain the original condition. Seat Belt Maintenance Do not bleach, dye, or clean the belts with chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners. This will weaken the fabric. Sun damage will also weaken the fabric. If the belts need cleaning, use a mild soap solution or lukewarm water. Do not remove the belts from the car to wash them. Replace the belts if they appear frayed or worn or if the buckles do not work properly. Carpeting Vacuum the carpeting regularly to prevent a soil buildup. Shampoo soiled carpeting with a reliable upholstery cleaner, using a natural sponge or soft bristle brush. After the carpeting dries, vacuum it thoroughly. 7
