Cleaning the plastic trim
G
Risk of injury
When cleaning the steering wheel boss and
dashboard, do not use cockpit sprays or
cleaning agents containing solvents. Cleaning
agents containing solvents cause the surface
to become porous, and as a result plastic
parts may break away and be thrown around
the interior when an airbag is deployed, which
may result in severe injuries.
!
Do not affix the following to plastic surfa-
ces:
stickers
R
films
R
scented oil bottles or similar items

You can otherwise damage the plastic.
!
Do not allow cosmetics, insect repellent
or sunscreen to come in contact with the
plastic trim. This maintains the high-quality
look of the surfaces.
