Leather (if equipped)
• Feature of Seat Leather
- Leather is made from the outer skin
of an animal, which goes through a
special process to be available for
use. Since it is a natural object, each
part differs in thickness or density.
Wrinkles may appear as a natural
result of stretching and shrinking
depending on the temperature and
humidity.
- The seat is made of stretchable fabric
to improve comfort.
- The parts contacting the body are
curved and the side supporting area
is high which provides driving comfort
and stability.
- Wrinkles may appear naturally from
usage. It is not a fault of the products.

remove dust and sand on the seat. It
