painted surfaces in just a few hours.
Always remove bird droppings as
soon as possible.
Don’t neglect the interior
Moisture can collect under the
floor mats and carpeting and 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 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 contact
the interior parts, wipe them off
immediately. If necessary, use a
vinyle cleaner, see instructions for
correct usage.
CAUTION
Never allow water or other liquids
to come in contact with electrical/
electronic 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
alcohol content solutions or acid/
alkaline 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
remove 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 leather
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.
