Modern clothing materials, such as dark denim, partially have no sufficient colour
fastness. Especially in light seat covers (fabric or leather), staining by these cloth-
ing materials may produce clearly visible discolouration, even when used correctly.
This is not a defect in the seat cover, but poor colour fastness of the clothing tex-
tiles.

WARNING (Continued)
● Observe the package inserts.
● Never use empty food cans, bottles or other containers for storage of care
products, as people may not always recognise the contained care products.
● Keep children away from all care products.
● Harmful vapours may form during the application. Therefore, use care
products only outdoors or in well-ventilated areas.
● Never use fuel, turpentine, engine oil, nail polish remover or other volatile
liquids for washing, grooming or cleaning. They are toxic and highly flamma-
ble.

Improper care and cleaning of vehicle parts may affect the safety equipment
of the vehicle and cause serious injuries.
● Clean and treat vehicle parts only according to the manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
● Use approved or recommended cleaning agents.
NOTICE
● Solvent-based cleaners attack the material and can damage it.
● Have stubborn stains removed by a specialist garage to avoid damage.
