Surfaces
Use a soft microfiber cloth dampened

dirt. For a more thorough cleaning,
use a soft microfiber cloth dampened

Caution
Soaking or saturating leather,
especially perforated leather, as well

cause permanent damage. Wipe
excess moisture from these surfaces
after cleaning and allow them to
dry naturally. Never use heat,

cleaners that contain silicone or
wax-based products. Cleaners
containing these solvents can
permanently change the appearance
and feel of leather or soft trim, and

Use of air fresheners may cause
permanent damage to plastics and
painted surfaces. If an air freshener
