of vehicle and cleaning
- The vehicle must be free of dirt and dust
before applying polish/wax -otherwise
the paintwork may be damaged.
- Do not polish/wax the vehicle in direct
sunlight -this can damage the paint!
- Do not attempt to polish out surface rust
deposits -this can damage the paint!
- Remove cosmetics and sun lotion immedi
ately -otherwise the paintwork may be
damaged.
- Instrument cluster
- Before cleaning, ensure that the instru-
ment cluster is switched off and cool.
- The instrument cluster and the surround
ing trim must not be cleaned with a dry
cloth -this can scratch the surfaces!
- Do not let any liquid get between the in
strument cluster and the trim -risk of
damage!
- Control consoles
- Do not let any liquid get inside the control
consoles -risk of damage!
- Seat belts
- Do not remove the seat belts to clean
them.
- Do not use chemical cleaning agents, cor
rosive liquids, solvents or sharp instru
ments to clean the seat belts or their com
ponents -this can damage the belt web
bing!
- If you find any damage to the belt web
bing, the belt fittings, the belt retractor or
the buckle, have the belt in question re
placed by a qualified workshop.
- Fabrics/leatherette/Alcantara
- Do not use leather care products, solvents,
wax polish, shoe cream, stain removers, or
any similar products on leatherette/Alcan
tara fabrics.
- To avoid damage, stubborn stains should
be removed by a qualified workshop.
- Never use steam cleaners, brushes, hard
sponges or similar utensils.
- Do not use the seat heating* to dry the
seats.
240 -
Sharp-edged objects on clothing, such as
zip fasteners, rivets or belts, can also
damage the surface of the fabric.
- Please make sure you close any velcro fas
teners, e.g. on your clothing, as these
could otherwise damage the upholstery.
- Natural leather
- Do not use solvents, wax polish, shoe
cream, stain removers, or any similar

damage the surface of the fabric.
- Never use steam cleaners, brushes, hard
sponges or similar utensils.
- Do not use the 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.
@ Note
- It is much easier to remove dead insects if
the car has been waxed recently.
- Regular waxing can help protect against
surface rust.
