CARE OF LEATHER TRIM


APPLIED MODELS: All Models Equipped With Leather Trim


SERVICE INFORMATION:


Nissan currently uses Cow Hide on all vehicles equipped with Leather Interior Trim (excluding certain 1988 Maximas which were equipped with Suede Seats). This bulletin refers only to those vehicles equipped with Cow Hide Leather Interior Trim. Suede seat covers are made of Pig Skin and should be cared for according to the instructions provided in the U11 Maxima Seat Care Kit (P/N 999M1-U8000). Leather is typically used on seat surfaces, trim pieces, steering wheels, and shift knobs in Nissan Vehicles. Maintaining a high quality appearance is best achieved by using the procedures indicated below.


1. Occasionally, loose dust should be removed from the interior trim and seat surfaces using a vacuum cleaner or a soft brush. The leather surfaces should be wiped clean with a soft dry cloth.

2. Some leather trim, such as the leather wrapped steering wheel, may become grayish in color with use. The original condition may be restored by rubbing the affected area with a clean soft cloth dampened in a mild soap solution, and then wiped clean with a soft dry cloth.

3. Leather seat surfaces may be regularly coated with a leather conditioner such as saddle soap.


Cautions:

Never use benzene, thinner, or any similar product on leather trim.

Never use car wax on leather trim.

Never use fabric protectors on leather trim unless recommended by the manufacturer. Some fabric protectors contain chemicals that may stain or bleach the leather trim.
