The weatherstrips will remain flexible and
last longer if they are rubbed lightly with a
rubber protective compound from time to
time. This will also stop the weatherstrips
from freezing on in winter.

Upholstery c c loth a a nd t t extile t t rim
Upholstery cloth and textile trim on door
panels, parcel shelves, luggage compart-
ment covers, headlining etc. must be
cleaned with special cleaners or dry foam
and a soft brush.
Natural l l eather
Leather should, depending on usage, be
treated from time to time in accordance with
the following instructions. It must be noted
that on no account may solvents, f f loor
wax, s s hoe p p olish, s s pot r r emovers a a nd
similar p p roducts b b e u u sed f f or t t his p p ur-
pose.
To clean leather a cotton or woollen cloth
lightly moistened with water should be
used for the dirty surfaces.
Dirtier areas may be cleaned with a mild
soap solution (2 dessert spoonfuls of
neutral soap to 1 litre of water). Make
sure that the leather i i s n n ot m m ade t t oo
wet and that no water seeps through the
seams. After cleaning, wipe dry with a
soft cloth.
Furthermore we recommend that, with
normal usage, the leather is treated at
half yearly intervals with a special leather
care agent. Apply one coat and clean off
with a soft cloth once it has taken effect.
