period and do not fold and stow the con‐
vertible top in the convertible top well
while the top is wet or frozen.▷Remove water stains that may nevertheless
have appeared on the roofliner using a mi‐
crofiber cloth and an interior cleaner.▷When the vehicle is parked in enclosed
areas for lengthy periods, ensure that the
area is well ventilated.▷If possible, park the vehicle in the shade to
protect it from intensive solar radiation so
that color, rubber and fabric are not af‐
fected.▷Remove bird droppings immediately as
their corrosive effect will otherwise attack
the convertible top and damage the rubber
seals.▷Hard to remove tree sap or bird droppings
can be removed from the convertible top
with special tree sap remover and a soft

gasoline or similar can damage the convertible
top or the rubber coating. There is a risk of

agent after it has been washed three to five
times.

chafe in pores and folds, and lead to increased
wear and premature degradation of the leather
surface.
To guard against discoloration, such as from
clothing, clean leather and provide leather care
roughly every two months.
Clean light-colored leather more frequently be‐
cause soiling on such surfaces is substantially
more visible.
Use leather care products; otherwise, dirt and
grease will gradually break down the protective
layer of the leather surface.
Suitable care products are available from a
dealer’s service center or another qualified
service center or repair shop.
Upholstery material care
Vacuum regularly with a vacuum cleaner.
If upholstery is very dirty, for example, with
beverage stains, use a soft sponge or micro‐
fiber cloth with a suitable interior cleaner.
Clean the upholstery down to the seams using
large sweeping motions. Avoid rubbing the ma‐
terial vigorously.
