Folding back
GWARNING
If the seat backrest is not engaged, it may
fold forwards, e.g. during braking or in the event of an accident.

engaged would press you into the seat
belt. The seat belt can no longer offer the
intended level of protection and can even
cause injuries.
RThe backrest cannot restrain objects or
loads in the trunk.
There is an increased risk of injury.
Before every journey, make sure that the
backrest is engaged as described.

Cleaning the seat covers
General notes
!Do not use a microfiber cloth to clean
covers made out of real leather, artificial leather or DINAMICA. If used often, these
can damage the cover.
iNote that regular care is essential to
ensure that the appearance and comfort of
the covers is retained over time.
Genuine leather seat covers
Leather is a natural product.
It exhibits natural surface characteristics,
for example:
RDifferences in the texture
Rmarks caused by growth and injury
RSlight nuances of color
These are characteristics of leather and not
material defects.
!To retain the natural appearance of the
leather, observe the following cleaning
instructions:
RClean genuine leather covers carefully
with a damp cloth and then wipe the cov-
ers down with a dry cloth.
RMake sure that the leather does not
become soaked. It may otherwise become
rough and cracked.
ROnly use leather care agents that have
been recommended by smart. You can
obtain these from a qualified specialist
workshop.
Seat covers of other materials
!Observe the following when cleaning:
Rclean artificial leather covers with a
cloth moistened with a solution contain-
ing 1% detergent (e.g. dish washing liq-
uid).
Rclean cloth covers with a microfiber
cloth moistened with a solution contain-
ing 1% detergent (e.g. dish washing liq-
uid). Rub carefully and always wipe
entire seat sections to avoid leaving
visible lines. Leave the seat to dry
afterwards. Cleaning results depend on
the type of dirt and how long it has been
there.
Rclean DINAMICA covers with a damp cloth.
Make sure that you wipe entire seat sec-
tions to avoid leaving visible lines.
Cleaning the seat belts

cleaning agents. Do not dry the seat belts by
