Don't neglect the interior
Moisture can collect under the floor
mats and carpeting to cause corrosion.
Check under the mats periodically to be
sure the carpeting is dry. Use particular
care if you carry fertilizers, cleaning
materials or chemicals in the car.
These should be carried only in proper
containers and any spills or leaks
should be cleaned up, flushed with
clean water and thoroughly dried.
Interior care
Interior general precautions
Prevent chemicals such as perfume,
cosmetic oil, sun cream, hand cleaner
and air freshener from contacting the
interior parts because they may cause
damage or discoloration. If they do con‐
tact the interior parts, wipe them off
immediately. If necessary, use a vinyl
cleaner, see instructions for correct us‐
age.
CAUTION
Never allow water or other liquids to
c
ome in contact with electrical/elec‐

tronic components inside the vehicle
as this may damage them.
Fabric seat cover (If equipped)
Please clean the fabric seats regularly
with a vacuum cleaner in consideration
of fabric material characteristics. If
they are heavily soiled with beverage
stains, etc., use a suitable interior
cleaner. To prevent damage to seat
covers, wipe off the seat covers down
to the seams with a large wiping mo‐
tion and moderate pressure using a
soft sponge or microfiber cloth.
Velcro closures on clothing or sharp ob‐
jects may cause snagging or scratches
on the surface of the seats.
Make sure not to rub such objects
against the surface.
Nappa leather seat cover (If
equipped)
Nappa leather retains the hide's own
soft texture with visible pores, scars or
blood vessels, etc. Pressure marks or
wrinkles may be made when used. Pro‐
longed exposure to sunlight or heat
may cause discoloration. These things
occur due to the natural characteristics
of cowhides. If the leather is exposed to
rain or gets wet, remove water with a
dry cloth and dry the leather in the
shade to minimize damage.
Make sure to keep sharp objects away
from the leather as these can create
scratches on the surface. For light-col‐
ored leather, be careful of spots or col‐
or transfer, such as from jeans.
Natural leather seat cover (If
equipped)
Natural leather has visible pores, scars
or blood vessels, etc. Pressure marks or
wrinkles may be made when used. Pro‐
longed exposure to sunlight or heat
may cause discoloration. These things
occur due to the natural characteristics
of cowhides. If the leather is exposed to
rain or gets wet, remove water with a
dry cloth and dry the leather in the
shade to minimize damage.
