Soiling
a)
Mild soap solution = 2 tablespoons of natural soap to 1 litre of lukewarm water.
WARNING
Never clean the seat belts chemically as chemical cleaning products could
■
destroy the fabric.
Air fresheners and scents can be hazardous to heath when the tempera-
■
ture inside the vehicle is high.
CAUTION
Natural leather / leather / Alcantara
■
Avoid standing for lengthy periods in bright sunlight, and protect the mate-
■
rials by covering to prevent them from fading.
Remove fresh stains (e.g. from pens, lipstick, shoe polish and similar) as
■
soon as possible.
Ensure that no part of the leather is soaked through during cleaning and
■
that no water gets into the seams - risk of damaging the leather!
Do not clean the roof panelling with a brush – risk of damage to the surface
■
of the panelling.
Do not use leather cleaners, floor wax, shoe cream, stain remover or similar

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