Feature of Seat Leather
Leather is made from the outerskin of an animal, which goes
through a special process to be
available for use. Since it is a nat-
ural substance, 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
product.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
Wrinkles or abrasions which appear
naturally from usage are not cov-
ered by warranty.
