5-4. Appearance Care
■Leather
●Because genuine leather is a natural material, its surface is not uniform and
it may have natural scars, scratches, and wrinkles.
●To maintain the quality for as long as possible, periodical maintenance,
about twice a year, is recommended.
NOTICE
■Leather
●Sand and dust on the seat surface may damage the overcoat of the genu-
ine leather surfaces and accelerate wear.
●Greasy soiling on genuine leather may cause molding and stains.
●Rubbing hard with a stiff brush or cloth may cause damage.
●Do not wipe the leather using alcohol, chlorine bleach, or organic solvents
such as thinner, benzene, or gasoline. Otherwise, it may cause discolor-
ation or stains.
●If the seats get wet, promptly remove moisture with a dry cloth. Remaining
moisture on the surface may cause deterioration such as hardening and
shrinkage.
●Exposure to direct sunlight for long periods may cause deterioration and
shrinkage. When parking the car under direct sunlight for long periods,
shade the interior using sunshades.
●Do not leave vinyl products on the seats for long periods as they may
affect the leather quality and coloring. If the cabin temperature becomes
hot, the vinyl may deteriorate and adhere to the genuine leather.
■Fabric
Use only recommended cleaners and procedures. Others may affect
appearance and fire-resistance.
■Panel
●Do not wipe leather parts using alcohol, chlorine bleach, or organic sol-
vents such as thinner, benzene, or gasoline. Otherwise, it may cause dis-
coloration or stains.
●Scratches or nicks on the panels and metallic trim resulting from the use of
a hard brush or cloth may not be repairable.
●Be particularly careful when cleaning high lustre panels and metallic trim
as they can be easily scratched.
