Leather care
Remove dust from the leather at regular inter‐
vals with a cloth or vacuum cleaner.
Dust and road dirt will otherwise become
worked into pores and folds, causing consider‐
able abrasion and causing the leather surface
to become prematurely brittle.
In order to protect against discolouration, for
example from clothing, clean the leather ap‐
proximately every two months.
Clean light-coloured leather more frequently
as it has the tendency to soil faster.
Use leather cleaner, otherwise dirt and grease
will attack the protective coating of the leather.
Suitable care products are available from a
Service Partner or a qualified specialist work‐
shop.
Care of upholstery fabrics
Clean regularly with a vacuum cleaner.
In the event of heavy soiling, for example stains
caused by drinks, use a soft sponge or a lint-
free microfibre cloth with suitable interior
cleaning agents.
Clean upholstery materials over a large area up
to the seams. Avoid strong rubbing.
ATTENTION

clothing can damage the seat covers. Danger
of damage to property. Make sure that any Vel‐
cro fasteners on your clothing are closed.◀
