Interior Care, Corrosion Protection
Windows
Clean the windows, inside and out,
with a commercially-available
glass cleaner. You can also use a
mixture of one part white vinegar
to ten parts water. This will
remove the haze that builds up on
the inside of the windows. Use a
soft cloth or paper towels to clean
all glass and clear plastic surfaces.
NOTICE
The rear window defogger wires
are bonded to the inside of the
glass. Wiping vigorously up and
down can dislodge and break the
defogger wires. When cleaning the
rear window, use gentle pressure
and wipe side to side.
Appearance Care
Air Fresheners
If you want to use an air freshener/
deodorizer in the interior of your
Civic, it is best to use a solid type.
Some liquid air fresheners contain
chemicals that may cause parts of
the interior trim and fabric to
crack or discolor.
If you use a liquid air freshener,
make sure you fasten it securely so
it does not spill as you drive.
Corrosion Protection
Two factors normally contribute to
causing corrosion in your car:
1. Moisture trapped in body
cavities. Dirt and road salt that
collects in hollows on the
underside of the car stays
damp, promoting corrosion in
that area.
2. Removal of paint and protective
coatings from the exterior and
underside of the car.
Many corrosion-preventive
measures are built into your
Honda. You can help keep your car
from corroding by performing
some simple periodic
maintenance:
Repair chips and scratches in
the paint as soon as you
discover them.
Inspect and clean out the drain
holes in the bottom of the doors
and body.
