Appearance Care

Cleaning products can be hazardous. Some are toxic. Other cleaning products can burst into flames if a match is struck near them or if they get on a hot part of the vehicle. Some are dangerous if their fumes are inhaled in a closed space. When anything from a container

is used to clean the vehicle, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s warnings and instructions. Always open the doors or windows of the vehicle when cleaning the inside.

Never use these to clean the vehicle:

•Gasoline

•Benzene

•Naphtha

•Carbon Tetrachloride

•Acetone

•Paint Thinner

•Turpentine

•Lacquer Thinner

•Nail Polish Remover

They can all be hazardous — some more than others — and they can all damage the vehicle, too.

Do not use any of these products unless this manual says you can. In many uses, these will damage the vehicle:

•Alcohol

•Laundry Soap

•Bleach

•Reducing Agents

Fabric/Carpet

Use a vacuum cleaner often to get rid of dust and loose dirt. Wipe vinyl, leather, plastic, and painted surfaces with a clean, damp cloth.

GM-approved cleaning products can be obtained from your dealer.

Here are some cleaning tips:

•Always read the instructions on the cleaner label.

•Clean up stains as soon as you can before they set.

•Carefully scrape off any excess stain.

•Use a clean cloth or sponge, and change to a clean area often. A soft brush may be used if stains are stubborn.

•To avoid forming a ring on fabric after spot cleaning, clean the entire area immediately or it will set.
