Driven & Kept

Display screens

Coated electronic displays require their own instructions.

01 / IDENTIFY

Find the display section in the owner’s manual. Use the stated cleaning mode or shutdown procedure when applicable.

02 / CARE

Use the specified cloth and method. A clean screen should not require pushing hard into corners or flooding its edge.

03 / KEEP SEPARATE

Do not borrow an ordinary glass-cleaning recipe. Tesla’s Model 3 manual, for example, explicitly distinguishes display care from other interior cleaning.

Pause and reassess if:

The coating is damaged, a mark will not lift with the permitted method, or liquid has reached the display edges.

WORK FROM THE ACTUAL MATERIAL

This file is a starting decision framework, not a chemical compatibility certificate. Check the vehicle specification, any installer paperwork and the label of the exact product you plan to use. If these instructions disagree, resolve the mismatch with the relevant manufacturer before proceeding.
