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.
