Feature of Seat Leather
- Our car seats are upholstered with a
combination of artificial and genuine
leather. The genuine leather is made
from the outer skin of an animal,
which goes through a special process
to be available for use. Since it is a
natural substance, each part differs in
thickness or density. Also, wrinkles
could appear depending on the temperature
and humidity.
- The seat cover is made of stretchable
material to improve comfort of passengers.
- The parts contacting the body are
curved and the side supporting area is
high which provides driving comfort
and stability.
CAUTION
- Belts with metallic accessories, zippers
or keys inside the back pocket
may damage the seat fabric.
- Make sure not to wet the seat. It may
change the leather.
- Jeans or clothes which could bleach
may contaminate the surface of the
seat covering fabric.
NOTICE
Wrinkles or abrasions may appear naturally
from usage. It is not a fault of product.
Wrinkles or abrasions are not
covered by warranty.
