Feature of Leather in vehicle
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 material to improve comfort of pas-
sengers.
The parts contacting the body are curved and the side supporting
area is high which provides driving
comfort and stability.
Wrinkles and changes of gloss/feel may appear naturally from usage
and is normal. It is not a fault of the
product. Make sure not to use sharp tools,
such as knives and spikes, to
remove the protective covering the
steering wheel.

marks or cause permanent defor-
mation.

Easy access function (if equipped)
To provide easier entry to or exit from
the vehicle for a driver, the driver’s
seat will be adjusted backwards as
far as the distance set by the Vehicle
Settings in the Navigation touch
screen in the instrument panel. This
occurs when the Engine start/stop
button is off with the shift lever in the
P position. If, however, the distance
between the front seat and back
seats are too close, the driver’s seat
could fail to adjust itself backwards.
The steering wheel regularly checks
and fine-tunes itself to find the right
location (the original location) by
going up as high as possible and
moving as close as possible to a
driver.The driver’s seat and steering wheel
will move back to its original position
when a driver closes a driver’s door
with a smart key in his pocket and
the engine start/stop button is in ON
or in ACC.
You can activate or deactivate this
feature. Refer to “Setup” in the
Navigation touch screen in the
instrument panel.
