tions, dye, and bleach

● Do not expose the vehicle to
direct sunlight for extended peri-
ods of time. Park the vehicle in
the shade, especially during

● Do not place items made of
vinyl, plastic, or containing wax
on the upholstery, as they may
stick to the leather surface if the

cantly.

water.
Vehicle systems such as the
audio system may be damaged if
water comes into contact with
electrical components such as the
