doors and windows to get proper
ventilation.

.Never use a razor or any other
sharp object to remove soil from
any interior surface
.Never use a brush with stiff
bristles.
.Never rub any surface
aggressively or with too much
pressure.
.Do not get any exposed electrical
components wet.
.Do not use laundry detergents or
dishwashing soaps with
degreasers. Do not use solutions
that contain strong or
caustic soap.

Caution (Continued)
.Do not use solvents or cleaners
containing solvents.

that are scented or contain
bleach. Do not use wipes or
cleaners that show a color
transfer to the wipe or change
the appearance of the interior
surface when used.

.Do not place one floor mat on top
of another.
Removing and Replacing the
Floor Mats
The driver side floor mat is held in
place by two button-type retainers.
1. Pull up on the rear of the driverside floor mat to unlock each
retainer and remove.
2. Reinstall by lining up the floor mat retainer openings over the carpet
retainers and snapping into
position. 3. 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.

(1) Or every two years, whichever
comes first. More frequent passenger
compartment air filter replacement
may be needed if driving in areas with
heavy traffic, poor air quality, high
dust levels, or environmental
allergens. Passenger compartment air
filter replacement may also be needed
if there is reduced airf low, window
fogging, or odors. Your GM dealer can
help determine when to replace the

the transfer case fluid. Contaminated
fluid will decrease the life of the
transfer case and/or axles and should
be replaced.
