the mats to make sure the area is dry.
Keep your garage dry. Do not park your vehicle in adamp, poorly ventilated garage. In such a garage,
corrosion can be caused by dampness. If you washthe vehicle in the garage or put the vehicle into the
garage when wet or covered with snow, that can cause dampness.
If your vehicle is operated in cold weather and/or in
areas where road salts and other corrosive materials
are used, the door hinges and locks, trunk lid lock,
and hood latch should be inspected and lubricated
periodically. Cleaning the interior
Use a vacuum cleaner to get rid of the dust and dirt.
Wipe the vinyl areas with a clean, damp cloth.
Seat fabric
Remove loose dirt, dust or debris with a vacuum
cleaner. If the dirt is caked on the fabric or hard to
remove with a vacuum cleaner, use a soft blush then vacuum it.
Wipe the fabric surface with a tightly wrung cloth
and dry the seat fabric thoroughly. If the fabric is still
dirty, wipe using a solution of mild soap and luke-
warm water then dry thoroughly.
If the stain does not come out, try a commercially-
available fabric cleaner. Use the cleaner on a hid-
den place and make sure it does not affect the fab-
ric adversely. Use the cleaner according to itsinstructions. Leather seat materials
The leather used by SUBARU is a high quality natu-
ral product which will retain its distinctive appear-
ance and feel for many years with proper care.
Allowing dust or road dirt to build up on the surfacecan cause the material to become brittle and to
