Maintenance
CAUTION
Electrical components
Never allow water or other liquids to
come in contact with electrical/elec-
tronic components inside the vehicle
as this may damage them.
CAUTION
Leather
When cleaning leather products
(steering wheel, seats etc.), use
neutral detergents 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.
Taking care of leather seats (if
equipped)
Vacuum the seat periodically to
remove dust and sand on the
seat. It will prevent abrasion or
damage of the leather and main-
tain its quality.
Wipe the natural leather seat
cover often with dry or soft cloth.
Sufficient use of a leather protec-
tive may prevent abrasion of the
cover and helps maintain the
colour. Be sure to read the
instructions and consult a special-
ist when using leather coating or
protective agents.

Leather with bright colours
(beige, cream beige) is easily con-
taminated and clear in appear-
ance. 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 contami-
nant.
Cosmetic products (sunscreen,
foundation, etc.)
- Apply cleansing cream on a
cloth and wipe the contami-
nated point. Wipe off the cream
with a wet cloth and remove
water with a dry cloth.
Beverages (coffee, soft drink,
etc.)
- Apply a small amount of neutral
detergent and wipe until con-
taminations do not smear.
Oil
- Remove oil instantly with
absorbable cloth and wipe with
stain remover for natural
leather only.
Chewing gum
