252 VEHICLE CARE Genuine leather (if so equipped) 1. Lightly wipe with a soft cloth soaked in a 5% solution of neutral detergent and water. 2. Dip the cloth in fresh water and wring it out well. Using this cloth, wipe off the detergent thoroughly. 3. Apply a leather protecting agent to the genuine leather surface. NOTE 1. If genuine leather is wet with water, wipe off the water as quickly as possible with a dry, soft cloth. 2. Slight stains on genuine leather may be removed with a leather cleaner. 3. The genuine leather surface may be damaged if a nylon brush is rubbed hard against it. 4. Organic solvents such as benzine, alcohol, gasoline, acid or alkaline solvents may discolor the genuine leather surface and should not be used. 5. Dirty genuine leather seats may mildew. Be very careful about oil stains and remove them immediately. 6. The genuine leather surface may harden and shrink if it is exposed to the direct rays of the sun for long hours. When your vehicle is parked, place it in the shade as much as possible. 7. When the temperature of the vehicle interior rises in the summer, vinyl products left on the genuine leather seat may deteriorate and stick to the seat. CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR VEHICLE To protect your vehicle's outside finish, it is important that you wash it often and thoroughly. If desired, you may wax your vehicle by using an automobile wax. Foreign material Industrial fallout, road tar, bird droppings, tree sap, insect remains, sea water, and other foreign matter can damage the finish of your vehicle. Generally, the longer the foreign material remains in contact with the outside finish the more extensive the damage. Wash your vehicle as soon as possible if it becomes contaminated with foreign material.
