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.
If the leather upholstery comes into

contact with any of the following, clean
it immediately.
Leaving it uncleaned could cause
premature wear, mold, or stains.
Sand or dirt

Grease or oil, such as hand cream

Alcohol, such as in cosmetic or hair

dressing items
If the leather upholstery gets 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

leather upholstery for long periods.
They may affect the leather quality and
coloring. If the cabin temperature
becomes hot, the vinyl may deteriorate
and adhere to the genuine leather.
