Maintenance and Care

Appearance Care

y

  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.

y

  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.

y

  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 

    Remove dust and loose dirt from fabric 
with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner.
  Clean it with a mild soap solution good 
for upholstery and carpets. Remove fresh 
spots immediately with a fabric spot 
cleaner.

  To keep the fabric looking clean and fresh, 
take care of it. Otherwise its color will be 
affected, it can be stained easily, and its 
fi re-resistance may be reduced.

CAUTION

  Use only recommended cleaners 
and procedures. Others may aff ect 
appearance and fi re-resistance.

  Panel

    When the panel needs to be cleaned, use a 
soft cloth to wipe off dirt from the surface.

   NOTE

  Scratches or nicks on the panels resulting 
from the use of a hard brush or cloth may 
not be repairable.
  Be particularly careful when cleaning the 
following areas which are installed with 
specially coated panels.

 Maintenance of the Active Driving 

Display

           The  combiner  and  mirror  surface  have  a 
special coating. When cleaning, do not use 
a hard or rough-surface cloth, or cleaning 
detergent. In addition, if a chemical 
solvent gets on the active driving display, 
wipe it off immediately. Otherwise, the 
combiner and mirror could be damaged 
and the surface coating could be scratched. 
Use a fi ne, soft cloth such as those used 
for cleaning eyeglasses.
