-
Remove moisture with a dry, soft cloth and allow the leather to further dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area. If the leather gets wet such as from rain, remove the moisture and dry it as soon as possible.
-
Because genuine leather is a natural material, its surface is not uniform and it may have natural scars, scratches, and wrinkles.
-
To maintain the quality for as long as possible, periodical maintenance, about twice a year, is recommended.
-
If the leather upholstery comes into contact with any of the following, clean it immediately.
Leaving it uncleaned could cause premature wear, mold, or stains.
-
Sand or dirt
-
Grease or oil, such as hand cream
-
Alcohol, such as in cosmetic or hair dressing items
-
-
If the leather upholstery gets wet, promptly remove moisture with a dry cloth. Remaining moisture on the surface may cause deterioration such as hardening and shrinkage.
-
Exposure to direct sunlight for long periods may cause deterioration and shrinkage. When parking the car under direct sunlight for long periods, shade the interior using sunshades.
-
Do not leave vinyl products on the leather upholstery for long periods. They may affect the leather quality and coloring. If the cabin temperature becomes hot, the vinyl may deteriorate and adhere to the genuine leather.
Seat Belt Maintenance
If a seat belt appears frayed or has abrasions, have it replaced by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
If a seat belt is used under such a condition, it cannot function at its full capacity which could result in serious injury or death.
Use a mild detergent to remove soiling from a seat belt.
If organic solvents are used for cleaning the seat belts or they become stained or bleached, there is the possibility of them becoming weakened and as a result, they may not function at their full capacity which could cause serious injury or death.
Do not disassemble, modify, or replace a seat belt.
If a seat belt is used under such a condition, it cannot function at its full capacity which could result in serious injury or death.
Always have your vehicle inspected by an Authorized Mazda Dealer if the vehicle has been involved in an accident.
Seat belts with the pretensioner system and the seat belts with the load-limiter system cannot be reused once they have operated (deployed).
If a seat belt is used under such a condition, it cannot function at its full capacity which could result in serious injury or death.
Always consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer when scrapping the vehicle.
If the pretensioner system operates (deploys) unexpectedly, it could result in serious injury or death.
Do not repair the pretensioner system parts or wiring harnesses and do not attempt diagnose the pretensioner system circuits using an electrical tester or similar device.
Otherwise, they may not function normally or they may operate incorrectly, which could result in serious injury or death.
Check periodically that the seat belt systems work properly and are not damaged.
Seat belt cleaning procedure
-
Lightly tap with a mild detergent to remove dirt.
-
Wipe with a thoroughly wrung cloth.
-
Allow to dry.
-
Make sure that the seat belt locks when it is pulled rapidly. If it is still not retracting properly, have it inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Clean seat belts diligently if they get dirty. Leaving them uncleaned will make it difficult to clean them later, and it may affect the smooth retracting of the seat belt.
