CAUTION
Do not use leather cleaners on Alcantara
■
Do not use solvents, floor wax, shoe cream, stain remover or similar agents on
■
®
Alcantara seat upholstery.
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 154.
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.
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".
