4. Installation (Setup)

Installation of the CHROX Dashboard Cover is a straightforward process that typically takes less than 3 minutes and requires no special tools. Follow these steps for proper placement:

1. Prepare the Dashboard: Ensure your vehicle's dashboard is clean and free of dust or debris. Use a clean cloth to wipe down the surface.
2. Unroll the Cover: Carefully unroll the dashboard cover. If the cover has a wavy shape from packaging, lay it flat for 24 hours in a warm environment to allow it to relax and flatten.
3. Position the Cover: Place the dashboard cover onto your vehicle's dashboard, aligning it with the vents, sensors, and contours of the dashboard.
4. Secure with Velcro Tabs: The cover includes Velcro tabs to help secure it in place and prevent slippage. Press down firmly on the cover where the tabs are located to ensure a snug fit.

5. Operating (Usage)

Once installed, the CHROX Dashboard Cover operates passively to provide continuous protection and comfort:

• Sun Protection: The cover acts as a barrier against direct sunlight, absorbing UV radiation and preventing it from reaching the dashboard surface. This helps to prevent material degradation and discoloration over time.
• Temperature Control: By insulating the dashboard, the cover helps to reduce heat buildup in the summer, keeping the interior cooler. In colder conditions, it can help retain some warmth, contributing to a more stable cabin temperature.
• Glare Reduction: The non-reflective surface of the cover minimizes glare that can reflect off the dashboard onto the windshield, improving visibility and reducing eye strain during driving.
• Anti-Slip Surface: The material's texture helps to keep items placed on the dashboard from sliding around during vehicle movement.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your CHROX Dashboard Cover, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Regular Cleaning: Periodically remove the cover and shake off any loose dust or debris. For deeper cleaning, gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap.
• Drying: Allow the cover to air dry completely before placing it back on the dashboard. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh chemical cleaners, bleach, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the fabric and affect its protective properties.
• Storage: If removing the cover for an extended period, roll it loosely or lay it flat to prevent creases.

7. Troubleshooting

• Wavy or Creased Cover: If the dashboard cover appears wavy or creased upon unboxing, this is normal due to packaging. Lay the cover flat in a warm area for 24 hours to allow the material to relax and flatten out before installation.
• Cover Not Lying Flat: Ensure the dashboard surface is clean and dry. Re-adjust the cover, making sure it is properly aligned with all dashboard contours. Press down firmly on the Velcro tabs to secure it.
• Poor Fit: Double-check that the product purchased is specifically for your vehicle's make, model, and year (Toyota Cami / Daihatsu Terios 2000-2005) and the correct drive configuration (LHD/RHD). Different dash mats fit different car models.
