5-4. Appearance Care
Leather
■
Because genuine leather is a natural material, its surface is not uniform and
●
it may have natural scars, scratches, and wrinkles.
To maintain the quality for as long as possible, periodical maintenance,
●
about twice a year, is recommended.
NOTICE
Leather
■
Sand and dust on the seat surface may damage the overcoat of the genu-
●
ine leather surfaces and accelerate wear.
Greasy soiling on genuine leather may cause molding and stains.
●
●
Rubbing hard with a stiff brush or cloth may cause damage.
Do not wipe the leather using alcohol, chlorine bleach, or organic solvents
●
such as thinner, benzene, or gasoline. Otherwise, it may cause discolor-
ation or stains.
If the seats get wet, promptly remove moisture with a dry cloth. Remaining
●
moisture on the surface may cause deterioration such as hardening and
shrinkage.
Exposure to direct sunlight for long periods may cause deterioration and
●
shrinkage. When parking the car under direct sunlight for long periods,
shade the interior using sunshades.
Do not leave vinyl products on the seats for long periods as they may
●
affect the leather quality and coloring. If the cabin temperature becomes
hot, the vinyl may deteriorate and adhere to the genuine leather.
Fabric
■
Use only recommended cleaners and procedures. Others may affect
appearance and fire-resistance.
Panel
■
Do not wipe leather parts using alcohol, chlorine bleach, or organic sol-
●
vents such as thinner, benzene, or gasoline. Otherwise, it may cause dis-
coloration or stains.
Scratches or nicks on the panels and metallic trim resulting from the use of
●
a hard brush or cloth may not be repairable.
Be particularly careful when cleaning high lustre panels and metallic trim
●
as they can be easily scratched.
