Internal cleaning

Cleaning of instrument panel and other interior trims

Wipe the instrument panel gently with a piece of moistened soft cloth during cleaning.

Please use mild neutral cleaners whenever possible, and avoid strong detergents or degreasing soaps.

CAUTION

◆ Do not wet the interior trims when cleaning them.

◆ Do not use a blade or other sharp objects to remove dirt from the interior trim surfaces, otherwise it may damage the interior trim surfaces. ◆ Do not wipe with excessive force, otherwise the interior trims may be damaged.

Cleaning of leather

If the leather trims are not maintained or cleaned for a long time, the leather will become damp, moldy, dull, dry and cracked, which will affect both health and driving mood. Therefore, the leather trims must be carefully cleaned and maintained.

The leather cleaning steps are as follows:

1. Remove dirt and dust with a vacuum cleaner.

2. Use a piece of soft cloth moistened with leather cleaner to wipe off any remaining dirt and dust.

3. After cleaning, dry with a piece of soft dry cloth or let the leather dry naturally.

4. After drying, smear it with a special maintenace agent.

CAUTION

◆ Do not use ordinary detergents (such as washing powder, dish detergent, etc.) to clean the leather, otherwise it may damage the leather surface, resulting in corrosion or discoloration of the leather surface. ◆ It is recommended to regularly maintain the leather inside the vehicle and contact the GAC Service Center regularly (semi-annually) to restore the bright luster of the leather surface in a timely manner.

Cleaning switch
