Interior Care

WARNING
Do not spray water in the cabin:
Splashing water on electrical parts
such as the audio unit and switches
is dangerous as it could cause a
malfunction or a fi re.
Instrument Panel Precautions
Prevent caustic solutions such as perfume
and cosmetic oils from contacting the
instrument panel. They will damage and
discolour the instrument panel. If these
solutions get on the instrument panel, wipe
them off immediately.
CAUTION
Do not use glazing agents.
Glazing agents contain ingredients
which may cause discolouration,
wrinkling, cracks and peeling.
Instrument panel top
When cleaning, it is recommended that
you use a clean towel dampened in a
mild detergent to remove soiling.
If the surface is rubbed harshly, it could
result in the surface being damaged
leaving white scratch marks.
Appearance Care
Cleaning the Upholstery and
Interior Trim
Vinyl
Remove dust and loose dirt from vinyl
with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner.
Clean vinyl with a leather-and-vinyl
cleaner.
*
Leather
Remove dust and sand fi rst using a
vacuum cleaner or other means, then wipe
dirt off using a soft cloth with a leather
cleaner or a soft cloth soaked in mild soap.
Wipe off the remaining cleaner or soap
using a cloth soaked in clean water and
wrung out well.
Remove moisture with a dry, soft cloth
and allow the leather to further dry in a
well-ventilated, shaded area. If the leather
gets wet such as from rain, also remove
moisture and dry it as soon as possible.
NOTE
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.
Sand and dust on the seat surface
may damage the overcoat of the
genuine 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.
