Genuine leather*
1. To clean, lightly wipe the leather with a
soft cloth soaked in a mild soap and wa-
ter solution.
2. Dip cloth in fresh water and wring it out
well. Using this cloth, wipe off the deter-
gent thoroughly.
3. Apply leather protecting agent to the
genuine leather surface.
NOTE
l If genuine leather is wet with water or is
washed in water, wipe off water as quickly
as possible with a dry, soft cloth.
If left damp, mildew may grow.
l Organic solvents such as benzine, kerosene,
alcohol and petrol, acid or alkaline solvents
may discolour the genuine leather surface.
Be sure to use neutral detergents.
l Remove dirty patches or oil substances
quickly as they can stain genuine leather.
l The genuine leather surface may harden and
shrink if it is exposed to direct sun for long
hours. When your vehicle is parked, place it
in the shade as much as possible.
l When the temperature of the vehicle interior
rises in summer, vinyl products left on the
genuine leather seat may deteriorate and
stick to the seat.
Cleaning the exterior of
your vehicle
If the following is left on your vehicle, it may
cause corrosion, discolouration and stains,
wash the vehicle as soon as possible
l Seawater, road deicing products.
l
Soot and dust, iron powder from facto-
ries, chemical substance (acids, alkalis,
coaltar, etc.).
l Droppings from birds, carcasses of in-
sects, tree sap, etc.
Washing
Chemicals contained in the dirt and dust
picked up from the road surface can damage
the paint coat and body of your vehicle if left
in prolonged contact.
Frequent washing and waxing is the best way
to protect your vehicle from this damage.
This will also be effective in protecting it
from environmental elements such as rain,
snow, salt air, etc.
Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight.
Park the vehicle in the shade and spray it
with water to remove dust. Next, using an
ample amount of clean water and a car wash-
ing brush or sponge, wash the vehicle from
top to bottom.
Use a mild car washing soap if necessary.
Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft
cloth. After washing the vehicle, carefully
clean the joints and flanges of the doors, bon-
net and other sections where dirt is likely to
remain.
CAUTION
l
When washing the under side of your vehi-
cle or wheel, be careful not to injure your
hands.
l As your vehicle has rain sensor, place the
wiper switch lever in the “OFF” position to
deactivate the rain sensor before washing the
vehicle. Otherwise, the wipers will operate
in the presence of water spray on the wind-
screen and may get damaged as a result.
l Refrain from excessively using a car wash as
its brushes may scratch the paint surface,
causing it to lose its gloss. Scratches will be
especially visible on darker coloured vehi-
cles.
l Never spray or splash water on the electrical
components in the engine compartment. Do-
ing so could have an adverse effect on the
engine startability.
Exercise caution also when washing the un-
derbody; be careful not to spray water into
the engine compartment.
l Some types of hot water washing equipment
apply high pressure and heat to the vehicle.
They may cause heat distortion and damage
to the vehicle resin parts and may result in
flooding of the vehicle interior.
