BODY NOTICE D Dirt or sand adhered to the leather may damage the treated surface and cause it to wear earlier. Remove dirt or sand using a vacuum cleaner. D If a stain should fail to come out with a neutral detergent, apply a cleaner that does not contain an organic solvent. D Never use organic substances such as benzine, alcohol or gasoline, or alkaline or acid solutions for cleaning the leather as these could cause discoloring. D Use of a nylon brush or synthetic fiber cloth, etc. may scratch the fine grained surface of the leather. D Mildew may develop on soiled leather upholstery. Be especially careful to avoid oil spots. Try to keep your upholstery always clean. D Long exposure to direct sunlight may cause the leather surface to harden and shrink. Keep your vehicle in a shaded area, especially in the summer. D The interior of your vehicle is apt to heat up on hot summer days, so avoid placing on the upholstery items made of vinyl or plastic or containing wax as these tend to stick to leather when warm. D Improper cleaning of the leather upholstery could result in discoloration or staining. 720
