Interior care

Use the information in the following
sections to maintain the interior of
your vehicle.
Interior general precautions
Prevent chemicals such as perfume,
cosmetic oil, sun cream, hand
cleaner, and air freshener from con -
tacting the interior parts because
they may cause damage or discolor -
ation. If they do contact the interior
parts, wipe them off immediately. If
necessary, use a vinyl cleaner, see
product instructions for correct
usage.
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 color of the
leather may fade or the surface
may get stripped off.

Taking care of leather seats
• 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
color. Be sure to read the instruc -
tions and consult a specialist
when using leather coating or
protective agents.
• Leather with bright colors (beige,
cream beige) is easily contami -
nated and clear in appearance.
Clean the seats frequently.
• Avoid wiping with wet cloth. It
may cause the surface to crack.
Cleaning the leather seats
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.)
