Seat belts
WARNING
Chemical cleaners can cause irreparable dam‐
age to the fabric of the seat belts. The protec‐
tive function of the seat belts will be lost. There
is a danger of injury or even death. Only use a
mild soap and water solution for cleaning the
seat belts.
Dirt on the seat belt straps can interfere with the
action of the reel and represents a safety hazard.

Carpets and foot mats
WARNING
Objects in the driver's footwell can restrict the
pedal travel, or block a pedal that has been
pressed. There is a danger of accidents. Stow
items in the vehicle so that they are secure and
cannot get into the driver's footwell. Only use
floor mats that are appropriate for the vehicle
and can be securely fastened to the floor. Do
not use any loose floor mats, and do not place
several floor mats on top of one another. Make
sure that there is sufficient space for the ped‐
als. Ensure that the floor mats are securely re‐
attached after having been removed, for exam‐
ple for cleaning.
Floor mats can be removed from the vehicle to
enable the interior to be cleaned more thor‐
oughly.
In the event of heavy soiling, clean floor carpets
using a microfibre cloth and water or textile
cleaner. Rub back and forth in the direction of
travel to prevent matting.
Sensors/camera lenses
Clean sensors or camera lenses using a cloth
moistened with a small amount of a glass
cleaner.
Displays, screens and protective
glass of the Head-Up Display
NOTE
Chemical cleaners, moisture or fluids of all
kinds can damage the surface of displays and
screens. There is a danger of damage to prop‐
erty. Clean with a clean, anti-static microfibre
cloth.
