Beforeusinganautomaticcarwash,
remove the radio antenna so it does
not get damaged. Remove the
antenna by unscrewing it. When you
reinstall the antenna, tighten it
securely.
Bef ore entering or parking in areas
with low ceiling height, remove the
antenna.The driver’s f loor mat that came
with your vehicle hooks over the
f loor mat anchors. To lock each
anchor, turn the knob clockwise.
This keeps the f loor mat f rom sliding
f orward and possibly interf ering with
the pedals.
If your seat belts get dirty, use a sof t
brush with a mixture of mild soap
and warm water to clean them. Do
not use bleach, dye, or cleaning
solvents. Let the belts air dry bef ore
you use the vehicle.
Dirt build-up in the loops of the seat
belt anchors can cause the belts to
retract slowly. Wipe the insides of
the loops with a clean cloth
dampened in mild soap and warm
water or isopropyl alcohol.
When cleaning or replacing, turn the
knob counterclockwise to unhook
the floor mat.
