Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If an odor lingers after cleaning vomit or urine, treat the area \
with a
watedbaking soda solution:
1 teaspoon (5 ml) of baking soda to 1 cup
(250 ml) of lukewarm water.
Finally, if needed, clean lightly with solvent-type cleaner.
Combination Stains: Like candy, ice cream, mayonnaise,
c i sauce and
unknown stains.
Carefully scrape off excess stain, then clean with cool water and allow to
dry.
If a stain remains, clean it with solvent-type cleaner.
Cleaning Vinyl or Leather
Just use warm water and a clean cloth.
Rub with a clean, damp cloth to remove dirt. You may have to do it
more than once.
Things like tar, asphalt and shoe polish will stain if you^ don’t get them
off quickly. Use a clean cloth and solvent-type vinylheather cleaner.
Cleaning the Top of the Instrument Panel
Use only mild soap and water to clean the top surfaces of the instrument
panel. Sprays containing silicones or waxes may cause annoying \
reflections in
the windshield and even make it difficult to see through the windshield under
certain conditions.
Care of Safety Belts
Keep belts clean and dry.
I
CAUTION
I
A
Do not bleach or dye safety kits. If you do, it may severely weaken
them. In a crash they might not be able to provide adequate
protection. Clean safety belts only with mild
soap and lukewarm
water.
Glass
Glass should be cleaned often. GM Glass Cleaner (GM Part No. 1050427) or
a liquid household glass cleaner will remove normal tobacco smo\
ke and dust
films.
Don’t use abrasive cleaners
on glass, because they may cause scratches.
Avoid placing decals on the inside rear window, since they may have to be
scraped off later.

Cleaning the Outside of Your Windshield and Wiper Blades
If the windshield is not clear after using the windshield washer, or if the wiper
blade chatters when running, wax or other material may be on the blade or
windshield.
Clean the outside of the windshield with GM Windshield Cleaner, Bon-Ami
Powder@ (GM Part
No. 1050011). The windshield is clean if beads do not
form when you rinse it with water.
Clean the blade by wiping vigorously with a cloth soaked in full strength
windshield washer solvent. Then rinse the blade with water.
Wiper blades should be checked on a regular basis and replaced\
when worn.
Cleaning the Outside of Your Vehicle
The paint finish on your vehicle provides beauty, depth of color, gloss
retention and durability.
Washing Your Vehicle
The best way to preserve your vehicle’s finish is to keep it clean by washing
it often with lukewarm or cold water.
Don’t wash your vehicle in the direct rays of the sun. Don’t use strong soaps
or chemical detergents. Use liquid hand or dish or car washing\
(non-detergent) soaps. Don’t use cleaning agents that contai\
n acid or
abrasives. All cleaning agents should be flushed promptly and n\
ot allowed
to
dry on the surface, or they could stain. Dry the finish with \
a soft, clean
chamois or
100% cotton towel to avoid surface scratches and water spotting.
High pressure car washes may cause water
to enter your vehicle.
Finish Care
Occasional waxing or mild polishing of your vehicle may be necessary to
remove residue from the paint finish. You can get GM approved \
cleaning
products from your dealer. (See “Appearance Care and Materia\
ls’’ in the Index.)
Protecting Exterior Bright Metal Parts
Bright metal parts should be cleaned regularly to keep their luster. Washing
with water is all that is usually needed. However, you may us\
e GM Chrome
Polish on chrome or stainless steel trim,
if necessary.
Use special care with aluminum trim.
To avoid damaging protective trim, never
use auto or chrome polish, steam or caustic soap to clean aluminum.
A
coating of wax, rubbed to a high polish, is recommended for all bright metal
parts.

in closed areas of the frame should be loosened before being flushed. Your
dealer or an underbody vehicle washing system can
do this for you.
Chemical Paint Spotting
Some weather and atmospheric conditions can create a chemical f\
allout.
Airborne pollutants fall upon and attack painted surfaces on your vehicle. This
damage can take two forms: blotchy, ringlet-shaped discolorations\
, and small irregular dark spots etched into the paint surface.
Although no defect in the paint job causes this, General Motors will repair, at
no charge
to the owner, the surfaces of new vehicles damaged by this fallout
condition within 12 months or 12,000 miles (20
000 km) of purchase,
whichever comes first.

Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from short circuits by a
combination of fuses, circuit breakers, and fusible thermal links in the wiring
itself. This greatly reduces the chance of fires caused by electrical problems.

Headlights
The headlight wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in the \
light switch. An electrical overload will cause the lights to go on and
off, or in some cases to
remain
off. If this happens, have your headlight wiring checked right away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit breaker a\
nd a fuse. If
the motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc., the wiper will s\
top until the
motor cools. If the overload is caused by some electrical problem and not
snow, etc., be sure to get it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power windows a\
nd other power
accessories. When the current load is
too heavy, the circuit breaker opens
and closes, protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed \
or goes away.
Trailer Wiring Harness
The optional seven-wire trailer wiring I ;s is protected by an in-line fuse
in the battery feed wire. This fuse is near rhe junction bloc\
k. See “Trailer
Wiring Harness” in the “Features
& Controls’’ section.
Fuse Block
KO631
The fuse block is in the instrument panel on the driver’s side.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Be sure to use the correct fuse. If you ever have a problem on the road and
don’t have a spare fuse, you can “borrow” one of the correct value. Just pick
some feature of your vehicle that you can get along without-like the radio or
cigarette lighter-and use its fuse,
if it is of the value you need. Replace it
as soon as you can. See “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in this section.
