wear prematurely. Regular cleaning with a soft,
moist, natural fiber cloth should be performed
monthly, taking care not to soak the leather or allow
water to penetrate the stitched seams.
A mild detergent suitable for cleaning woolen fab-
rics may be used to remove difficult dirt spots, rub-
bing with a soft, dry cloth afterwards to restore the
luster. If your SUBARU is to be parked for a long
time in bright sunlight, it is recommended that the
seats and headrests be covered, or the windows
shaded, to prevent fading or shrinkage.
Minor surface blemishes or bald patches may be
treated with a commercial leather spray lacquer. You
will discover that each leather seat section will de-
velop soft folds or wrinkles, which is characteristic of
genuine leather.
J
Synthetic leather upholstery
The synthetic leather material used on the SUBARU
may be cleaned using mild soap or detergent and
water, after first vacuuming or brushing away loose
dirt. Allow the soap to soak in for a few minutes and
wipe off with a clean, damp cloth. Commercial foam-
type cleaners suitable for synthetic leather materials
may be used when necessary.
NOTE
Strong cleaning agents such as solvents, paint
thinners, window cleaner or gasoline must never
be used on leather or synthetic interior materials.
