fabric spot cleaner. If you do not pay
attention to fresh spots immediately, the

can be reduced if the material is not
properly maintained.

properties.
Leather
if equipped
• Features of seat leather
- Leather is made from the outer skin
of an animal, which goes through a
special process to be available for
use. Because it is a natural product,
each part differs in thickness or
density.
Wrinkles may appear as a natural
result of stretching and shrinking
depending on the temperature and
humidity.
- The seat is made of stretchable fabric
to improve comfort.
- The parts contacting the body are
curved and the side supporting area
is high which provides driving
comfort and stability.
- Wrinkles may appear naturally from
usage. It is not a fault of the products.
