or saddle soap and wipe dry with a soft cloth. Then, let
the leather dry naturally.

immediately. If dirt is allowed to work into the
finish, it can harm the leather.
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.
Cleaning Interior Plastic Components
Use only a mild soap and water solution on a soft
cloth
or sponge. Commercial cleaners may affect the
surface finish.
Cleaning Wood Panels
Use a clean cloth moistened in warm. soapy water (use
mild dish washing soap).
Dry the wood immediately
with a clean cloth.
Cleaning Speaker Covers
Vacuum around a speaker cover gently, so that the
speaker won't be damaged. Clean spots with just water
and mild soap.
Care of Safety Belts
Keep belts clean and dry.
-
Do not bleach or dye safety belts. 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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Don’t wash your vehicle in the direct rays of the sun.
Don’t
use strong soaps or chemical detergents. Use
liquid hand, dish or car washing (mild detergent) soaps.
You can get GM-approved cleaning products from your
dealer. (See “Appearance Care and Materials” in the
Index.) Don’t use cleaning agents that
are petroleum
based, or that contain acid or abrasives. All cleaning
agents should be flushed promptly and
not allowed to
dry on the surface, or they could stain. Dry the finish
with a soft, clean chamois or an all-cotton towel
to
avoid surface scratches and water spotting.
High pressure car washes may cause water to enter
your vehicle. Your
vehicle has a “ba~ec~atlclearc~at~~ paint finish.
The clearcoat gives more depth and gloss to the
colored basecoat. Always use waxes and polishes
that are non-abrasive and made for a basecoatlclearcoat
paint finish.
NOTICE:
Machine compounding or aggressive polishing on
a basecoatlclearcoat paint finish may dull the
finish or leave swirl marks.
Cleaning Exterior LampdLenses
Use lukewarm or cold water, a soft cloth and a liquid
hand, dish or car washing (mild detergent) soap
to clean
exterior lamps and lenses. Follow instructions under
“Washing Your Vehicle.”
Finish Care
Occasional waxmg or mild polishing or your vehicle
by hand may be necessary
to remove residue from the
paint finish. You can get GM-approved cleaning
products from your dealer. (See “Appearance Care
and Materials” in the Index.) Foreign
materials such as calcium chloride and other
salts, ice melting dgents, road oil and tar, tree sap, bird
droppings, chemicals from industrial chimneys, etc., can
damage your vehicle‘s finish if they remain on painted
surfaces. Wash the vehicle as soon as possible.
If
necessary, use non-abrasive cleaners that are marked
safe for painted surfaces
to remove foreign matter.
Exterior painted surfaces are subject to aging, weather
and chemical fallout that can take their toll over a period
of years. You can help
to keep the paint finish looking
new by keeping your vehicle garaged or covered
whenever possible.
