Maintenance
CAUTION
Rear window
Do not scrape or scratch the inside of
the rear window. This may result in dam-
age of the rear window defroster grid.
Taking care of leather seats (if
equipped)
僅 Vacuum the seat periodically to
remove dust and sand on the seat. It
will prevent abrasion or damage of
the leather and maintain its quality.
僅 Wipe the natural leather seat cover
often with dry or soft cloth.
僅 Sufficient use of a leather protective
may prevent abrasion of the cover
and helps maintain the color. Be sure
to read the instructions and consult a
specialist when using leather coating
or protective agents.
僅 Leather with bright colors(beige,
cream beige) is easily contaminated
and clear in appearance. Clean the
seats frequently.
僅 Avoid wiping with wet cloth. It may
cause the surface to crack.
Cleaning the leather seats
僅 Remove all contaminations instantly.
Refer to instructions below for
removal of each contaminant.
僅 Cosmetic products (sunscreen, foun-
dation, etc.)
- Apply cleansing cream on a cloth
and wipe the contaminated point.
Wipe off the cream with a wet cloth
and remove water with a dry cloth.
僅 Beverages (coffee, soft drink, etc.)
- Apply a small amount of neutral
detergent and wipe until contami-
nations do not smear.
僅 Oil
- Remove oil instantly with absorb-
able cloth and wipe with stain
remover for natural leather only.
僅 Chewing gum
- Harden the gum with ice and
remove gradually.
Fabric seat cover using precau-
tions (if equipped)
Please clean the fabric seats regularly
with a vacuum cleaner in consideration
of fabric material characteristics. If they
are heavily soiled with beverage stains,
etc., use a suitable interior cleaner. To
prevent damage to seat covers, wipe off
the seat covers down to the seams with
a large wiping motion and moderate
pressure using a soft sponge or microfi-
ber cloth.
Velcro closures on clothing or sharp
objects may cause snagging or
scratches on the surface of the seats.
Make sure not to rub such objects
against the surface.
