Maintaining the CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced

Plastics) areas
Some interior components such as the instrument panel and rear hatch are made
from the same CFRP material as the main body shell. These exposed components
feature a deep and three-dimensional presence with a special clear coating.
Additionally, panels underneath the windows have a matte coating to prevent glare
and reflections.
■ ■ Daily maintenance
For cleaning, follow the procedure below:
Wipe dirty surfaces with a dampened soft cloth or synthetic chamois.

• Do not rub the matte coated surfaces strongly as doing so may damage the surface or
cause it to shine.
• Do not use wax, polish or polishing cleaners. Especially use caution around the
instrument panel, as improper care may cause the instrument panel to reflect off of the
windshield, obstructing the driver's front view.
