Only use cleaning and care prod-
ucts that are suitable for vehicles 
with matt paintwork.
Working from top to bottom, lib-
erally apply water to the vehicle 
body, wheel wells and underside 
of the vehicle to remove any dirt 
and dust.
Wash the vehicle body using a 
sponge or soft cloth, such as a 
chamois.
For hard-to-remove marks, use a 
neutral detergent and rinse thor-
oughly with water.
Wipe away any water.
Never use wax or abrasive com-
pounds.
Remove dust from the leather at 
regular intervals with a cloth or vac-
uum cleaner.
Dust and road dirt will otherwise 
become worked into pores and 
folds, resulting in considerable 
abrasion and causing the leather 
surface to become prematurely brit-
tle.
In order to protect against discol-
ouration, for example from clothing, 
NOTICE
●To prevent the wheels from corrod-
ing, remove any dirt and store in a 
place with low humidity when stor-
ing the wheels.
Matt paintwork
NOTICE
■To prevent paint deterioration 
and corrosion on the body and 
components (aluminum wheels 
etc.)
Observe the following precautions:
●Wash the vehicle immediately in the 
following cases:
• After driving near the sea coast
• After driving on salted roads
• If coal tar or tree sap is present on 
the paint surface
• If dead insects, insect droppings or 
bird droppings are present on the 
paint surface
• After driving in an area contami-
nated with soot, oily smoke, mine 
dust, iron powder or chemical sub-
stances
• If the vehicle becomes heavily 
soiled with dust or mud
• If liquids such as benzene and gas-
oline are spilled on the paint sur-
face
●If the paint is chipped or scratched, 
have it repaired immediately.
●To prevent the wheels from corrod-
ing, remove any dirt and store in a 
place with low humidity when stor-
ing the wheels.
●If anything is spilled on a painted 
surface, wipe it off as soon as pos-
sible. If spilled washer fluid or alka-
line fluids are left as is, the paint in 
the affected areamay deteriorate, 
causing blemishing.
●Do not wax or apply coating to the 
vehicle. Doing so may cause a 
change in the body surface's tex-
ture or irregularities in the paint.
