Leather Interior
The selected leather is used in your Lexus. Due to a
leather product, some parts of leather may be rough,
uneven or scratched originally.
To keep good appearance, we recommend you to clean
it periodically twice a year.
Remove dirt on the leather in the following ways:
1. Wipe it off lightly using a soft cloth (e.g. gauze)
dampened with 5% solution of neutral detergent for
wool.
2. Wring water from a clean cloth and thoroughly wipe
off all traces of detergent with it.
3. Wipe off the surface of the leather with a dry soft cloth.
Allow the leather to dry in a ventilated shaded area.
Excess of wet may cause the hardening or shrinking of
the leather.NOTICE
