The ambient rust depo
sits must not be r

moved through friction. Risk of damaging
the paint job!

The displays, the instrument panel and the
trim around it must not be cleaned dry. Risk
of scratches!

Make sure that the instrument panel is
switched off and cooled down before clean-
ing.
●
Make sure that no liquid leaks between the
instrument panel and the trim. Risk of dam-
age!
Control panels

Make sure that no liquid leaks into the con-
trol panels. Risk of damage!
Seat belts
●
Do not remove the seat belts to clean
them.
●
Seat belts and their components must
never be cleaned with chemical products,
nor should they be allowed to come into
contact with corrosive liquids, solvents or
sharp objects. Risk of damaging the fabric!
●
If you find any damage to the belt webbing,
belt fittings, the belt retractor or the buckle,
ask your specialised workshop to replace the
belt in question.
Fabrics/artificial leather/microfibre
●
Do not treat artificial leather/microfibre
with leather cleaning products, solvents, wax
polish, shoe cream, stain removers or similar
products.
●
If the stain is very hard to remove, take the
vehicle to a specialised workshop to have it
removed there. This will prevent damage.
●
Do not use steam cleaners, brushes, hard
sponges, etc. to clean.
●
Do not turn on seat heating* to dry the
seats.
●
Sharp objects on clothing, such as zips, riv-
ets or belts can damage the surface.
●
Open Velcro, e.g. on clothes can damage
the seat upholstery. Make sure that Velcro
fasteners are closed.
Natural leather
●
Never use solvents, wax polish, shoe
cream, spot removers or similar products on
leather.
●
Sharp objects on clothing, such as zips, riv-
ets or belts can damage the surface.
●
Do not use steam cleaners, brushes, hard
sponges, etc. to clean.
●
Do not turn on seat heating* to dry the
seats.
●
Avoid exposing leather to direct sunlight
for long periods, otherwise it may tend to
lose some of its colour. If the car is left for a
prolonged period in the bright sun, it is best
to cover the leather.
WARNING
Do not use water-repellent coatings on the
windscreen. In bad visibility conditions such
as humid weather, darkness or when the
sun is in its lowest point, visibility may be
impacted. Accident hazard! Such coatings
can also cause the windscreen wiper blades
to make noise.
Note
●
Remains of insects can be removed much
more easily with previously treated paint.
●
Regular car care treatments can prevent
deposits of ambient rust.
