Maintenance
Cleaning the leather seats
Remove all contaminations instantly.
Refer to instructions below for removal
of each contaminant.
僅 Cosmetic products (sunscreen, foun-
dation, etc.)
- 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.
僅 Beverages (coffee, soft drink, etc.)
- Apply a small amount of neutral
detergent and wipe until contami-
nations do not smear.
僅 Oil
- Remove oil instantly with absorb-
able cloth and wipe with stain
remover for leather only.
僅 Chewing gum
- Harden the gum with ice and
remove gradually.
Fabric seat cover (if equipped)
Please clean the fabric seats regularly
with a vacuum cleaner in consideration
of fabric material characteristics. If they
are heavily soiled with beverage stains,
etc., use a suitable interior cleaner. To
prevent damage to seat covers, wipe off
the seat covers down to the seams with
a large wiping motion and moderate
pressure using a soft sponge or microfi-
ber cloth.
Velcro closures on clothing or sharp
objects may cause snagging or
scratches on the surface of the seats.
Make sure not to rub such objects
against the surface.
Cleaning the upholstery and inte-
rior trim
Car interior surfaces
Remove dust and loose dirt from interior
surfaces with a whisk broom or a vac-
uum cleaner. If necessary, clean interior
surfaces with a mixture of warm water
and mild non-detergent cleaner (test all
cleaners on a concealed area before
use).
Fabric
Remove dust and loose dirt from fabric
with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner.
Clean with a mild soap solution recom-
mended for upholstery or carpets.
Remove fresh spots immediately with a
fabric spot cleaner. If fresh spots do not
receive immediate attention, the fabric
can be stained and its color can be
affected. Also, its fire-resistant proper-
ties can be reduced if the material is not
properly maintained.
Using anything but recommended
cleaners and procedures may affect the
fabric's appearance and fire-resistant
properties.
Cleaning the lap/shoulder belt
webbing
Clean the belt webbing with any mild
soap solution recommended for clean-
ing upholstery or carpet. Follow the
instructions provided with the soap. Do
not bleach or re-dye the webbing
because this may weaken it.
