Note

• 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.
