Windows and door mirrors
■
Do not clean the insides of the windows/mirrors with sharp objects - risk of
■
damage to the filaments or the antenna.
Do not use a cloth which has been used to polish the body - this could dirty
■
the window and impair visibility.

■
Do not wipe head/tail lamps dry, do not use any sharp objects - risk of dam-

■
when washing the vehicle - there is a risk of freezing the lock cylinder!
Wheels

Heavy soiling of the wheels can affect the balance of the wheels - the re-
■
sult can be a vibration, which can cause premature wear of the steering.

agents on Alcantara seat upholstery.
Some clothing fabrics (e.g. dark denim) do not have sufficient colour fast-
■
ness - this could lead to clearly visible discolouration on the upholstery. This
is not a defect in the fabric.
Sharp objects on garments (e.g. zips, rivets, sharp- edged belts) can dam-
■
age the upholstery fabrics in the vehicle. Such damage will not be recognised
as a justified complaint.
Plastic parts
■
Do not attach scents or air fresheners to the dash panel – risk of damage to
■
the dash panel.

Do not attach any stickers to the filaments or glass antenna - there is risk
■
of damage.
