solvents. Periodically hand wash the
microfiber cloth separately, using mild
soap. Do not use bleach or fabric
softener. Rinse thoroughly and air dry

Caution
Do not attach a device with a
suction cup to the display. This may

Use a soft microfiber cloth dampened
with water to remove dust and loose
dirt. For a more thorough cleaning,
use a soft microfiber cloth dampened
with a mild soap solution.
Caution
Soaking or saturating leather,
especially perforated leather, as well
as other interior surfaces, may
cause permanent damage. Wipe
excess moisture from these surfaces
after cleaning and allow them to
dry naturally. Never use heat,
steam, or spot removers. Do not use
cleaners that contain silicone or
wax-based products. Cleaners
containing these solvents can
permanently change the appearance
and feel of leather or soft trim, and
are not recommended.
Do not use cleaners that increase
gloss, especially on the instrument
panel. Reflected glare can decrease
visibility through the windshield

Floor Mats
{Warning
If a floor mat is the wrong size or is
not properly installed, it can
interfere with the pedals.
Interference with the pedals can
cause unintended acceleration and/
or increased stopping distance
which can cause a crash and injury.
Make sure the floor mat does not
interfere with the pedals.
Use the following guidelines for
proper floor mat usage:
.The original equipment floor mats
were designed for your vehicle.
If the floor mats need replacing, it
is recommended that GM certified
floor mats be purchased. Non-GM
floor mats may not fit properly and
may interfere with the pedals.
Always check that the floor mats do
not interfere with the pedals.
.Do not use a floor mat if the vehicle
is not equipped with a floor mat
retainer on the driver side floor.
.Use the floor mat with the correct
side up. Do not turn it over.
.Do not place anything on top of the
driver side floor mat.
.Use only a single floor mat on the
driver side.
.Do not place one floor mat on top
of another.
Removing and Replacing the
Floor Mats
Pull up on the rear of the floor mat to
unlock each retainer and remove.
Reinstall by lining up the floor mat
retainer openings over the carpet
retainers and snapping into position. Make sure the floor mat is properly
secured in place.
Verify the floor mat does not interfere
with the pedals.
Cleaning Rubber Floor Mats
(All-Weather Mats and Floor
Liners)
{Warning
Do not use cleaners that contain
silicone, wax-based products,
or cleaners that increase gloss on
rubber floor mats/liners. These
cleaners can permanently change
the appearance and feel of the
rubber and can make the floor
mats/liners slippery. Your foot
could slip while operating the
vehicle, and you could lose control,
resulting in a crash. You or others
could be injured.
Use a soft cloth and/or a brush
dampened with water to remove dust
and loose dirt. For more thorough
cleaning, use a mild soap solution.
