10-104 Vehicle Care
Do not use heat, steam, spot lifters
or spot removers, or shoe polish on
leather. Many commercial leather
cleaners and coatings that are
sold to preserve and protect
leather may permanently change
the appearance and feel of the
leather and are not recommended.
Do not use silicone or wax-based
products, or those containing
organic solvents to clean the
vehicle's interior because they
can alter the appearance by
increasing the gloss in a
non-uniform manner.
TEHAMA Leather
The leather surface on the seat was
not designed to be aggressively
cleaned using any commercial
product. Use a well wrung cloth
dampened with water to remove
dust. Do not use a wet cloth or
saturated the leather surface with
water. Allow the leather to dry
naturally. If a soil occurs that cannot
be completely removed, allow it to
become part of the natural markings
of the leather. The leather in the
vehicle was designed to have a
natural appearance and develop a
more vintage appearance with use.
Do not use heat to dry. Never use
steam to clean leather. Never use
spot lifters or spot removers on
leather. It is very important not
to use any commercial leather
cleaners and coatings that are
sold to preserve and protect leather.
Not only are those products not
necessary, they will permanently
and adversely change the
appearance and feel of the leather.
Never use silicone or wax-based
products, or those containing
organic solvents to clean the
vehicle's interior. Never use
shoe polish on leather.
Instrument Panel, Vinyl and
other Plastic Surfaces
A soft cloth dampened with water
may be used to remove dust.
If a more thorough cleaning is
necessary, a clean soft cloth
dampened with a mild soap solution
can be used to gently remove
dust and dirt. Never use spot lifters
or removers on plastic surfaces.
Many commercial cleaners and
coatings that are sold to preserve
and protect soft plastic surfaces
may permanently change the
appearance and feel of the interior
and are not recommended. Do not
use silicone or wax-based products,
or those containing organic solvents
to clean the vehicle's interior
because they can alter the
appearance by increasing the
gloss in a non-uniform manner.
