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,
clean and care for the leather
approximately 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 atta ck the protec-
tive coating of the leather.
Clean the synthetic leather regu-
larly with a damp microfibre cloth or
vacuum cleaner.
Dust and road dirt will otherwise
become worked into pores and

In case of major contaminations,

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.
For the matte paintwork, pay attention to the following as well:
●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 area may 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.
