pressure jet towards natural gas
system components. It is particularly
important to protect the natural gastank and the pressure valves on the vehicle underbody and the bulkheadin the engine compartment.

preservatives.

vacuum cleaner and brush. Remove
stains with an upholstery cleaner.

discolourations, especially on light-
coloured upholstery. Removable
stains and discolourations should be
cleaned as soon as possible.

Velcro fasteners on clothing could damage seat upholstery.
