Vinyl Upholstery Maintenance

Remove dust and dirt from the vinyl
upholstery using a brush or vacuum.
Remove soiling from vinyl upholstery
using a leather and vinyl upholstery
cleaner.

Upholstery Maintenance

1. Clean the soiled area by lightly

dabbing it with a soft cloth soaked in a
mild detergent (approx. 5%) diluted
with water.

2. Wipe off the remaining detergent using

a cloth soaked in clean water and
wrung out well.

NOTE

Rubbing the interior side of the soft top
vigorously with a stiff brush or cloth may
cause damage.

Leather Upholstery Maintenance

*

1. Remove dust and sand using a vacuum

cleaner.

2. Wipe off the soiled area with a soft

cloth and a suitable, special cleaner or
a soft cloth soaked in a mild detergent
(about 5%) diluted with water.

3. Wipe off the remaining detergent using

a cloth soaked in clean water and
wrung out well.

4. 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,
remove the moisture and dry it as soon
as possible.

NOTE

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.

If the leather upholstery comes into
contact with any of the following, clean
it immediately.
Leaving it uncleaned could cause
premature wear, mold, or stains.

Sand or dirt

Grease or oil, such as hand cream

Alcohol, such as in cosmetic or hair
dressing items

If the leather upholstery gets 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
leather upholstery for long periods.
They may affect the leather quality and
coloring. If the cabin temperature
becomes hot, the vinyl may deteriorate
and adhere to the genuine leather.
