Vehicle care
CAUTION
• Never allow water or other liquids to come in contact with electrical/electronic com
ponents inside the vehicle as this may damage them.
• When cleaning leather products (steering wheel, seats etc.), use neutral deter
gents or low alcohol content solutions. If you use high alcohol content solutions or
acid/alkaline detergents, the colour of the leather may fade or the surface may get
stripped off.
NOTE
Prevent chemicals such as perfume, cosmetic oil, sun cream, hand cleaner, and air
freshener from contacting the interior parts because they may cause damage or dis
colouration. If they do contact the interior parts, wipe them off immediately. If neces
sary, use a mixture of warm water and mild non-detergent cleaner (test all cleaners
on a concealed area before use). Use proper car cleaner to clean interior parts.
Taking care of leather seats (if equipped)
• Our car seats are upholstered with a combination of artificial and genuine leather.
The genuine leather is made from the outer skin of an animal, which goes through a
special process to be available for use. Since it is a natural substance, each part dif
fers in thickness or density. Also, wrinkles could appear depending on the tempera
ture and humidity.
• Vacuum the seat periodically to remove dust and sand on the seat. It will prevent
abrasion or damage of the leather and maintain its quality.
• Wipe the leather seat cover often with dry or soft cloth.
• Sufficient use of a leather protective may prevent abrasion of the cover and helps
maintain the colour. Be sure to read the instructions and consult a specialist when
using leather coating or protective agents.
• Leather with bright colours is easily contaminated and clear in appearance. Clean
the seats frequently.
• Avoid wiping with wet cloth. It may cause the surface to crack.
Cleaning the leather seats (if equipped)
• Remove all contaminations instantly. Refer to instructions below for removal of each
contaminant.
• Cosmetic products
◦ Apply cleansing cream on a cloth and wipe the contaminated point. Wipe off the
cream with a wet cloth and remove water with a dry cloth.
• Beverages
◦ Apply a small amount of neutral detergent and wipe until contaminations do not
smear.
• Oil
