 Interior  Care

WARNING

  Splashing water on electrical parts 
such as the audio unit and switches 
is dangerous as it could cause a 
malfunction or a fi re.

 Dashboard  Precautions

            Prevent  caustic  solutions  such  as  perfume 
and cosmetic oils from contacting the 
dashboard. They will damage and discolor 
the dashboard. If these solutions get on the 
dashboard, wipe them off immediately.

  Do not use glazing agents.
  Glazing agents contain ingredients 
which may cause discoloration, 
wrinkling, cracks and peeling.

  Instrument panel top (soft pad)

y

 Extremely soft material is used for the 

soft pad surface. When cleaning, it is 
recommended that you use a clean towel 
dampened in a mild detergent to remove 
soiling.

y

 If the soft pad surface is rubbed harshly, 

it could result in the surface being 
damaged leaving white scratch marks.

 Cleaning the Upholstery and 

Interior Trim

            Vinyl

    Remove dust and loose dirt from vinyl 
with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner.
  Clean vinyl with a leather-and-vinyl 
cleaner.

  Leather 

*

    Remove  dust  and  sand  fi rst using a 
vacuum cleaner or other means, then wipe 
dirt off using a soft cloth with a leather 
cleaner or a soft cloth soaked in mild soap.
  Wipe off the remaining cleaner or soap 
using a cloth soaked in clean water and 
wrung out well.
  Remove moisture with a dry, soft cloth 
and allow the leather to further dry in a 
well-ventilated, shaded area. If the leather 
gets wet such as from rain, also remove 
moisture and dry it as soon as possible.

   NOTE

y

  Because genuine leather is a natural 

material, its surface is not uniform and 
it may have natural scars, scratches, 
and wrinkles.

y

  To maintain the quality for as long as 

possible, periodical maintenance, about 
twice a year, is recommended.

y

  Sand and dust on the seat surface may 

damage the overcoat of the genuine 
leather surfaces and accelerate wear.

y

  Greasy soiling on genuine leather may 

cause molding and stains.

y

  Rubbing hard with a stiff brush or cloth 

may cause damage.

y

  Do not wipe the leather using alcohol, 

chlorine bleach, or organic solvents 
such as thinner, benzene, or gasoline. 
Otherwise, it may cause discoloration 
or stains.
