Read and follow the introductory information and safety information first⇒Introduction to the subject

Clean leatherette upholstery only with water and a mild soap solution.

Before cleaning leatherette surfaces, read and heed the information ⇒ Cleaning upholstery on heated seats and power seats or seats with airbag components .

  • Do not clean leatherette with solvents, floor wax, shoe polish, stain remover, or similar products.
  • These can cause the material to become brittle and break. Sharp-edged objects and items on clothing and belts (such as belt clips, cell phone cases, zippers, rivets, and rhinestones) can damage upholstery material and fabric trim.
  • If the vehicle is left in the sun for a long time, cover the upholstery to protect the leatherette from direct sunlight and to help prevent fading or discoloration.
