The longer a stain goes untreated, the more difficult it is to remove. • Avoid application of conditioning products containing silicones or waxes to the top surface of the dash panel. This may cause glare that can be a driver distraction. Cab Maintenance Interior Trim, Dash Shell, and Instrument Panels CAUTION: To avoid possible damage to these components, do not use abrasive cleaners, brushes, chemical solvents or strong detergents. • Use a clean, lint-free cloth. • Clean with the cloth dampened with a mild soap-andwater solution. • Remove soap with a clean, damp rag. • For difficult stains on painted plastic surfaces, such as the dash shell, use Dupont Sontara® cleaner, part number PS-3909S. The product is available from Dupont as a presaturated wipe. Carpet CAUTION: Do not apply water directly to carpet. Excess water may damage the carpet. Keep carpet as dry as possible. • Use a clean, lint-free cloth or clean, soft-fiber brush. • Clean with the cloth or brush dampened with a mild soap-and-water solution.
