Cleaning leather upholstery
Only use water and neutral cleaning products to clean imitation leather up-
holstery.
CAUTION
On no account use solvents, wax polish, shoe cream, spot removers or simi-
lar materials on imitation leather. These will stiffen the material, making it
more likely to crack sooner.

Cleaning storage compartments and drinks holders
Some storage compartments and drinks holders have a removable rubber
mat.

cial solvent-free plastic cleaning product.
Cleaning the ashtray

WARNING
Solvents cause the surfaces of the airbag modules to become porous. If
an airbag is accidentally triggered, the detachment of plastic parts could
cause serious injury.
● Never clean the instrument panel and the surfaces of the airbag mod-
ules with cleaners containing solvents.
Cleaning seat belts
If the seat belt is very dirty, the belt retractor may not work correctly thus
preventing the seat belt from operating correctly.
The seat belts should never be removed from the vehicle for cleaning.
