Cleaning and protecting the Alcantara

: If equipped
The following procedures will protect and keep your vehicle’s
Alcantara
®
upholstery in top condition:
■ Day-to-day cleaning
Perform the following procedures regularly (approximately once
a month).
Wipe the entire Alcantara
®
area with a soft cloth that has
been dampened with lukewarm water (approximately 104 °F
[40 °C]) and squeezed out.
Do not wipe too hard. Doing so may make the Alcantara
®
uphol-
stery surface become uneven. Also, only use a clean cloth.
Once dry, brush the area with a soft brush.
■ Liquid stains
● If liquid is spilled, lightly pat the area with a tissue paper or
similar to soak up the liquid.
● When mud, coffee, etc., has dried on the Alcantara ®
uphol-
stery, remove it by lightly brushing the area with a soft brush
or similar.
We recommend using a vacuum cleaner to clean up the area after
the above has been performed.
When a stain cannot be removed using the above procedures,
remove it by performing the following:
Lightly wipe the stained area from the outside to the inside
from multiple angles with a soft cloth that has been damp-
ened with lukewarm water (approximately 104
°F [40°C])
and squeezed out.
Do not wipe the area so strongly that it causes the Alcantara ®
upholstery surface to become uneven. Also, prepare a clean
cloth, and always use a clean area of the cloth.
