Maintenance
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 is easily
contaminated and clear in appear-
ance. Clean the seats frequently.
僅 Avoid wiping with wet cloth. It may
cause the surface to crack.

Fabric seat cover using precau-
tions (if equipped)
Clean the fabric seats regularly with a
vacuum cleaner in consideration of fab-
ric material characteristics. If they are
heavily soiled with beverage stains, etc.,
use a suitable interior cleaner. To pre-
vent damage to seat covers, wipe off the
seat covers down to the seams with a
large wiping motion and moderate pres-
sure using a soft sponge or microfiber
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.
