Subaru Forester: Cleaning the interior / Seat fabric
Remove loose dirt, dust or debris with a
vacuum cleaner. If the dirt is caked on the
fabric or hard to remove with a vacuum
cleaner, use a soft brush then vacuum it.
Wipe the fabric surface with a tightly wrung
cloth and dry the seat fabric thoroughly. If
the fabric is still dirty, wipe using a solution
of mild soap and lukewarm water then dry
thoroughly.
If the stain does not come out, try a
commercially-available fabric cleaner.
Use the cleaner on a hidden place and make sure it does not affect the fabric
adversely. Use the cleaner according to its
instructions.
CAUTION
When cleaning the seat, do not use
benzine, paint thinner, or any similar
materials. Doing so could damage
the surface and cause the color to
deteriorate.
Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the climate
control panel, audio equipment, instrument
panel, center console, combination
meter panel, and switches. (Do not use
organic solvents.)
CAUTION
Do not use sharp instruments or
window cleaner containing abrasives
to clean the inner surface of
the rea..
The leather used by SUBARU is a high
quality natural product which will retain its
distinctive appearance and feel for many
years with proper care.
Allowing dust or road dirt to build up on the
surface can cause the material to become
brittle and to wear prematurely...
