CLEANING GLASS
Use glass cleaner to remove smoke and dust film
from the glass surfaces. It is normal for glass to
become coated with a film after the vehicle is parked
in the hot sun. Glass cleaner and a soft cloth will
easily remove this film.
CAUTION
When cleaning the inside of the windows, do not
use sharp-edged tools, abrasive cleaners or chlo-
rine-based disinfectant cleaners. They could
damage elements in the rear windows (such as
the window defogger).
Inside rear-view mirror (Automatic
anti-dazzling, where fitted)
Use a soft cloth dampened only with water to clean
the automatic anti-dazzling inside rear view mirror
(where fitted).
CAUTION
Do not use glass cleaner. Doing so will reduce
the sensitivity of the sensor, resulting in improper
operation.
PLASTIC PARTS
Plastic parts can be cleaned with a mild soap solu-
tion. If the dirt cannot be easily removed, use a plas-
tic cleaner. Do not use any solvents.
SEAT BELTS
WARNING
•
Do not allow wet seat belts to roll up in the
retractor.
•
Never use bleach, dye or chemical solvents to
clean the seat belts, since these materials
may severely weaken the seat belt webbing.
The seat belts can be cleaned by wiping them with
a sponge dampened in a mild soap solution.
Allow the belts to dry completely in the shade before
using them.
MOST COMMON FACTORS
CONTRIBUTING TO VEHICLE
CORROSION
•
The accumulation of moisture-retaining dirt and
debris in body panel sections, cavities, and other
areas.
•
Damage to the paint surface and other protec-
tive coatings caused by gravel and stone chips
or minor traffic accidents.
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
INFLUENCE THE RATE OF
CORROSION
Moisture
Accumulation of sand, dirt and water on the vehicle
body underside can accelerate corrosion. Wet floor
coverings will not dry completely inside the vehicle,
and should be removed for drying to avoid floor pan-
els corrosion.
Relative humidity
Corrosion will be accelerated in areas of high rela-
tive humidity, especially those areas where the tem-
peratures stay above freezing, where atmospheric
pollution exists and road salt is used.
Temperature
A temperature increase will accelerate the rate of
corrosion to those parts which are not well venti-
lated.
