Cleaning and protecting the Alcantara
The following procedures will protect and keep your vehicle's Alcan-
®
tara upholstery in top condition:


Day-to-day cleaning

Perform the following procedures regularly (approximately once
a month).
STEP 1
Wipe the entire Alcantara
been dampened with lukewarm water (approximately 40C
[104F]) and squeezed out.
Do not wipe too hard. Doing so may make the Alcantara
stery surface become uneven. Also, only use a clean cloth.
STEP 2
Once dry, brush the area with a soft brush.


Liquid stains

 If liquid is spilled, lightly pat the area with a tissue paper or
similar to soak up the liquid.
 When mud, coffee, etc., has dried on the Alcantara
stery, remove it by lightly brushing the area with a soft brush
or similar.
We recommend using a vacuum cleaner to clean up the area after
the above has been performed.
When a stain cannot be removed using the above procedures,
remove it by performing the following:
STEP 1
Lightly wipe the stained area from the outside to the inside
from multiple angles with a soft cloth that has been damp-
ened with lukewarm water (approximately 40C [104F])
and squeezed out.
Do not wipe the area so strongly that it causes the Alcantara
upholstery surface to become uneven. Also, prepare a clean
cloth, and always use a clean area of the cloth.
