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 chlorinebased
disinfectant cleaners. They
could damage the electrical conductors,
radio antenna elements or rear
window defroster elements.
• If glass cleaner gets on the soft top,
immediately wash it off with clean
water (CrossCabriolet models).
