Don't neglect the interior
Moisture can collect under the floor
mats and carpeting and cause corro‐
sion. 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
vehicle.
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 vinyle
cleaner, see instructions for correct us‐
age.
CAUTION
Never allow water or other liquids to
come in contact with electrical/elec‐
(Continued)

tronic components inside the vehicle
as this may damage them.
CAUTION
When cleaning leather products
(steering wheel, seats etc.), use
neutral detergents or low alcohol
content solutions. If you use high al‐
cohol content solutions or acid/alka‐
line detergents, the color of the
leather may fade or the surface may
get stripped off.
Taking care of leather seats
Vacuum the seat periodically to re‐
move dust and sand on the seat. It
will prevent abrasion or damage of
the leather and maintain its quality.
Wipe the natural leather seat cover
often with dry or soft cloth.
Sufficient use of a leather protective
may prevent abrasion of the cover
and helps maintain the color.
Be sure to read the instructions and
consult a specialist when using leath‐
er coating or protective agents.
Leather with bright colors(beige,
cream beige) is easily contaminated
and clear in appearance. Clean the
seats frequently.
Avoid wiping with wet cloth. It may
cause the surface to crack.
Cleaning the leather seats
Remove all contaminations instantly.
Refer to instructions below for re‐
moval of each contaminant.
Cosmetic products(sunscreen, foun‐
dation, etc.)
- Apply cleansing cream on a cloth
and wipe the contaminated point.
Wipe off the cream with a wet
cloth and remove water with a dry
cloth.
Beverages(coffee, soft drink, etc.)
- Apply a small amount of neutral
detergent and wipe until contami‐
nations do not smear.
Oil
- Remove oil instantly with absorba‐
ble cloth and wipe with stain re‐
mover for natural leather only.
Chewing gum
- Harden the gum with ice and re‐
move gradually.
