Fabric
Clean upholstery cover materials and cloth trims on doors, boot cover, etc. using
specific cleaning agents, e.g., dry foam.
Use a soft sponge, brush, or commercially available microfibre cloth.
Use a cloth and special detergent to clean the roof trim.
Remove any lumps on the cover fabric and any fabric residue using a brush.
Remove stubborn hair using a "cleaning glove".
®
Alcantara
Dust and fine dirt particles in pores, creases and seams may chafe and damage
the surface.
If you leave your vehicle parked in the open for lengthy periods, protect the Al-
®
cantara seat covers from the direct rays of the sun to prevent fading.
Minor changes in colour caused by use are normal.
CAUTION
Do not use any leather cleaners on Alcantara
■
®
For Alcantara seat covers do not use any solvents, floor wax, shoe cream, stain
■
remover, or similar agents.
Avoid leaving the vehicle in bright sunlight for long periods of time in order to
■
stop the fabric from bleaching. If the vehicle is parked outside for long periods of
time, cover the fabric to protect it from direct sunlight.
Some clothing materials, e.g. dark denim, do not have sufficient colour fastness.
■
This can cause damage or clearly visible discolouration to seat covers, even when
used correctly. This applies particularly to light-coloured seat covers. This does
not relate to a fault in the seat cover, but rather to poor colour fastness of the
clothing textiles.
Seat covers

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 201.
Electrically heated seats
Do not clean the covers by moistening, as this can damage the seat heating sys-
tem.
Use a specific cleaning agent such as dry foam or similar to clean the covers.
®
seat covers.
Seats without seat heating
Thoroughly vacuum the seat covers with a vacuum cleaner before cleaning.
Clean the seat covers with a damp cloth or cleaning products specially designed
for this purpose.
Indented points arising on the fabrics by everyday use, can be removed by brush-
ing against the direction of hair with a damp brush.
Always clean all parts of the covers, so that there are no visible edges. Then allow
the seat to dry completely.
CAUTION
Regularly remove dust from the seat covers using a vacuum cleaner.
■
Electrically heated seats must not be dried after cleaning by switching on the
■
heater.
Do not sit on wet seats - risk of seat deformation.
■
Always clean the seats "from seam to seam".

Seat belts

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 201.
The belt webbing must always be kept clean.
Wash dirty seat belts with mild soapy water.
Remove coarse dirt with a soft brush.
Dirty belt webbing may impair the correct functioning of the inertia reel.

WARNING
The seat belts must not be removed for cleaning.
■
Never clean the seat belts chemically as chemical cleaning products could
■
destroy the fabric.
The seat belts must not be allowed to come into contact with corrosive liq-
■
uids (e.g. acids).
Check the condition of all the seat belts on a regular basis. If any damage to
■
the belt webbing, seat belt connections, inertia reel or lock is detected, the
seat belt must be replaced by a specialist garage.
The seat belts must be fully dried before being rolled up.
