Cleaning the seat covers
General notes
! Do not use microfibre cloths to clean
genuine leather, artificial leather or
DINAMICA covers. If used often, these can
damage the cover.
i
Note that regular care is essential to
make sure that the appearance and com-
fort of the covers are retained over time.
Genuine leather seat covers
Leather is a natural product.
It has natural surface properties, e.g.:
unevenness in structure
R
marks caused by growth and injury
R
subtle colour differences
R
These are characteristics of leather and
not material faults.
! To maintain the leather's natural
appearance, observe the following
cleaning tips:
clean genuine leather covers carefully
R
with a damp cloth and then wipe the
covers down with a dry cloth.
Make sure that the leather does not
R
become soaked. It may otherwise
become rough and cracked.
Only use leather care agents that have
R
been recommended by smart. You can
obtain these from a qualified special-
ist workshop.
Seat covers from other materials
! Observe the following when cleaning:
clean artificial leather covers with a
R
cloth moistened with a solution con-
taining 1% detergent (e.g. washing-up
liquid).
clean cloth covers with a microfibre
R
cloth moistened with a solution con-
taining 1% detergent (e.g. washing-up
liquid). Rub carefully, and always wipe
entire seat sections to avoid leaving
visible lines. Leave the seat to dry
afterwards. Cleaning results depend
on the type of dirt and how long it has
been there.
Clean DINAMICA covers with a damp
R
cloth. Make sure that you wipe entire
seat sections to avoid leaving visible
lines.

ical cleaning agents. Do not dry the seat
