Natural leather



First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-

ings on page 118.
Leather is a natural material with specific properties, and requires regular clean-
ing and maintenance.
The leather should be cleaned on a regular basis depending on the amount of
wear-and-tear.
Dust and dirt in the pores and folds act as abrasive materials. This leads to severe
corrosion and the premature brittleness of the leather surface.
We recommend that you remove dust regularly and at short intervals using a
cloth or vacuum cleaner.
Clean soiled leather surfaces with a water-dampened cotton or woollen cloth and
then dry with a clean, dry cloth
Clean severely soiled areas with a cloth soaked in a mild soap solution (2 table-
spoons of neutral soap to 1 litre of water).
To remove stains, use a cleaning agent specially designed for this purpose.
Treat the leather regularly and at suitable intervals using a suitable leather care
product.
CAUTION
Ensure that no part of the leather is soaked through during cleaning and that
■
no water gets into the seams. Otherwise, the leather could become brittle or
cracked.
Avoid leaving the vehicle for lengthy periods in bright sunlight to avoid the
■
leather from bleaching. If the vehicle is parked in the open for lengthy periods,
protect the leather from direct sunlight by covering it.
Sharp-edged objects on items of clothing such as zip fasteners, rivets, sharp-
■
edged belts, jewellery and pendants may leave permanent scratches or signs of
rubbing on the surface. Such damage cannot be subsequently recognised as a

justified complaint.
The use of a mechanical steering wheel lock may damage the leather surface of
■
the steering wheel.
