NOTICE

Cleaning detergents

Do not use organic substances such as benzene or gasoline, acidic or alka-
line solutions, dye, bleach or other detergent. Doing so may discolor the
vehicle interior or cause streaks or damage to painted surfaces.

Preventing damage to leather surfaces

Observe the following precautions to avoid damage to and deterioration of
leather surfaces.

Remove any dust or dirt on leather surfaces immediately.

Do not expose the vehicle to direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
Park the vehicle in the shade, especially during summer.

Do not place items made of vinyl, plastic, or that contain wax on the uphol-
stery, as they may stick to the leather surface if the vehicle interior heats
up significantly.

Water on the floor

Do not wash the vehicle floor with water.
Vehicle systems such as the audio system may be damaged if water comes
into contact with electrical components under the floor of the vehicle, and
may also cause the body to rust.

Cleaning the inside of the rear window or left-side rear quarter window

Be careful not to scratch or damage the heater wires or print type antenna (if
