NOTE
Do not use a wire brush or any
abrasive cleaner, polishing
compound, or solvent on aluminum
wheels. They may damage the
coating.
Always use a sponge or soft cloth to
clean the wheels.
Rinse the wheels thoroughly with
lukewarm or cold water. Also, be
sure to clean the wheels after driving
on dusty or salted roads to help
prevent corrosion.
Avoid washing your vehicle in an
automatic car wash that uses
high-speed or hard brushes.
▼Plastic Part Maintenance
When cleaning the plastic lenses of
the lights, do not use gasoline,
kerosene,
rectified spirit, paint,
thinner, highly acidic detergents, or
strongly alkaline detergents.
Otherwise, these chemical agents
can discolor or damage the surfaces
resulting in a significant loss in
functionality. If plastic parts become
inadvertently exposed to any of these
chemical agents, flush with water
immediately.
If plastic parts such as the bumpers
become inadvertently exposed to
chemical agents or fluids such as
gasoline, oil, engine coolant, or
battery fluid, it could cause
discoloration, staining , or paint
peeling. Wipe off any such chemical
agents or fluids using a soft cloth
immediately.
High water temperature and high
water pressure car washers are
available depending on the type of
high pressure car washer device. If
the car washer nozzle is put too
close to the vehicle or aimed at one
area for an extended period of time,
it could deform plastic parts or
damage the paint.
Do not use wax containing
compounds (polish). Otherwise, it
could result in paint damage.
In addition, do not use an electrical
or air tool to apply wax. Otherwise,
the frictional heat generated could
result in deformation of plastic parts
or paint damage.

further dry in a well-ventilated,
shaded area. If the leather gets wet
such as from rain, remove the
moisture and dry it as soon as
possible.
NOTE
Because genuine leather is a natural
material, its surface is not uniform
and it may have natural scars,
scratches, and wrinkles.
To maintain the quality for as long as
possible, periodical maintenance,
about twice a year, is recommended.
If the leather upholstery comes into
contact with any of the following,
clean it immediately.
Leaving it uncleaned could cause
premature wear, mold, or stains.
Sand or dirtGrease or oil, such as hand creamAlcohol, such as in cosmetic or
hair dressing items
If the leather upholstery gets wet,
promptly remove moisture with a dry
cloth. Remaining moisture on the
surface may cause deterioration such
as hardening and shrinkage.
Exposure to direct sunlight for long
periods may cause deterioration and
shrinkage. When parking the car
under direct sunlight for long
periods, shade the interior using
sunshades.
Do not leave vinyl products on the
leather upholstery for long periods.
They may affect the leather quality
and coloring. If the cabin
temperature becomes hot, the vinyl
may deteriorate and adhere to the
genuine leather.
▼ Plastic Part Maintenance
CAUTION
Do not use polishing agents.
Depending on the product ingredients,
they could cause discoloration, stains,
cracks or peeling of the coating.
▼Instrument Panel Top (Soft pad)
Maintenance
Extremely soft material is used for the
soft pad surface. If the soft pad surface
