Interior general precautions

Prevent chemicals such as perfume, cosmetic oil, sun cream, hand cleaner, and air freshener from contacting the interior parts of the vehicle because they may cause damage or discoloration. If these chemicals do contact the interior parts, wipe them off immediately. If necessary, use a mixture of warm water and mild non-detergent cleaner (test all cleaners on a concealed area before use).

Taking care of leather seats

• Vacuum the seats periodically to remove dust and sand from them. This prevents abrasion or damage to the leather and maintains its quality.

• Wipe the leather seat cover often with a soft, dry cloth.

• Sufficient use of a leather protective may prevent abrasion of the cover and help maintain the color. Be sure to read the instructions and consult a specialist when using leather coating or protective agents.

• Light-colored leather (such as beige or cream) is more easily and visibly contaminated. Clean the seats frequently.

• Avoid wiping the leather seats with a wet cloth. It may cause the surface to crack.

Cleaning the leather seats

Remove all contaminants immediately. To remove different contaminants, refer to the following instructions:

• Cosmetic products (such as sunscreen or foundation): Apply cleaning cream on a cloth and wipe the contaminated area. Wipe off the cream with a wet cloth and remove the water with a dry cloth.

• Beverages (such as coffee or soda): Apply a small amount of neutral detergent and wipe until the contaminants do not smear.

• Oil or color transfer from blue jeans or clothes: Remove the oil or stain instantly with an absorbent cloth and wipe with stain remover (for leather only).

• Chewing gum: Harden the gum with ice and remove gradually.

Fabric seat cover: (if equipped)

Clean the fabric seats regularly with a vacuum cleaner. If they are heavily soiled with stains from beverages or other sources, use a suitable interior cleaner. To prevent damage to the seat covers, use a soft sponge or microfiber cloth to wipe them down to the seams with large wiping motions.

Velcro closures on clothing or sharp objects may snag or scratch the surface of the seats. Do not rub such objects against the surface.

Cleaning the upholstery and interior trim

Interior wooden trim: (if equipped)

Use a wooden furniture protector (for example, wax, coating compound) to clean the interior wooden trim. Sharp objects (for example, driver, knife), adhesive materials, tapes, or any strong impacts may damage the interior wooden trim.

Cleaning the lap/shoulder belt webbing

Clean the webbing of the lap and shoulder belt portions of the seat belt with any mild soap solution recommended for cleaning upholstery or carpet. Follow the instructions provided with the soap. Do not bleach or redye the webbing because this may weaken it.

Cleaning the lap and shoulder belt webbing

If the interior glass surfaces fog up or are covered with an oily, greasy, or waxy film, clean them with a glass cleaner. Follow the directions on the glass cleaner container.
