Feature of Seat Leather
- Leather is made from the outerskin of an animal, which goes
through a special process to be
available for us. Since it is a natu-
ral object, each part differs in
thickness or density. Wrinkles
may appear as a natural result of
stretching and shrinking depend-
ing 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 driv-
ing comfort and stability.
- Wrinkles may appear naturally from usage. It is not a fault of the
product.
CAUTION
Never allow water or other liq- uids to come in contact withelectrical/electronic compo-nents inside the vehicle asthis may damage them.
When cleaning leather prod- ucts (steering wheel, seatsetc.), use neutral detergentsor low alcohol content solu-tions. If you use high alcoholcontent solutions or acid/alka-line detergents, the color ofthe leather may fade or thesurface may get stripped off.
CAUTION
Using anything but recommend-ed cleaners and procedures mayaffect the fabric’s appearanceand fire-resistant properties.
CAUTION
Wrinkles or abrasions which appear naturally from usageare not covered by warranty.
