Seat belts
WARNING
Chemical cleaners can cause irreparable
damage to the fabric of the seat belts. The
protective effect of the seat belts will be lost.
There is a danger of injury or danger to life.
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 is a safety hazard.
Only clean the seat belt straps with a mild
soap solution while still fitted to the vehicle.
Do not allow seat belts to retract until they are
dry.
Carpets and floor mats
WARNING
Objects in the driver's footwell can restrict the
pedal travel or block a pedal that has been
pressed. There is a risk of accident. Ensure
that items in the vehicle are stowed securely
and cannot get into the driver's footwell. Only
use floor mats that are suitable for the ve-
hicle and can be securely fastened to the
floor. Do not use loose floor mats, and do
not place several floor mats on top of one an-
other. Make sure that there is sufficient space
for the pedals. Ensure that floor mats are se-
curely reattached after removal, for example
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 car-
pets using a microfibre cloth and water or tex-
tile cleaner. Rub back and forth in the direction
of travel to prevent matting.
