any liquid. Please do not use polishes, oils, cleaning
fluids, solvents, detergents, or ammonia-based cleaners
to clean your leather upholstery. Application of a

tone based cleaning products to clean leather seats,

when cleaning the inside rear window equipped. Do
not use scrapers or other sharp instrument that may
scratch the elements.
Labels can be peeled off after soaking with warm water
(if equipped), keep all objects a safe distance from the
windows.
When cleaning the rear view mirror, spray cleaner on
the towel or cloth that you are using. Do not spray
