Cleaning the convertible top
To remove heavy contamination, especially for
light colored convertible tops, use a special
convertible top cleaning agent.
Proceed as follows when cleaning:
1.
Spray the convertible top with the
convertible top cleaning agent. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
2.
Make the convertible top cleaning agent
foam up using a well saturated sponge,
moving it in circular motions.
3.
Rinse vehicle with ample amounts of wa-
ter or finish washing the vehicle in the car
wash. Follow notes regarding automatic
car washes.
Treat the convertible top with an impregnating
agent after it has been washed three to five
times.
Suitable cleaners and vehicle care products
are available from an authorized service cen-
ter or another qualified service center or repair
shop.
Leather care
Particles of dust and road grime rub into pores
and folds, causing heavy abrasion and prema-
ture degradation of the leather surface.
Remove dust from the leather regularly, using
a cloth or vacuum cleaner.
To guard against discoloration, such as from
clothing, clean leather and provide leather care
roughly every two months.
Clean light-colored leather more frequently be-
cause contamination on such surfaces is sub-
stantially more visible.
Use leather care products; otherwise, dirt and
grease will gradually break down the protective
coating of the leather surface.
Synthetic leather care
Clean synthetic leather regularly with a damp
microfiber cloth or vacuum cleaner.

Otherwise, dust and road grime particles will
rub into pores and folds, causing significant
abrasion and premature degradation of the
surface.
In case of major soiling, use a moist soft
sponge or microfiber cloth with suitable interior
cleaners.
Immediately remove aggressive substances
such as sunscreen to prevent the synthetic
leather from being altered or discolored.
Upholstery material care
General information
Vacuum the cushions regularly with a vacuum
cleaner.
If upholstery is very contaminated, for instance
with beverage stains, use a soft sponge or mi-
crofiber cloth with a suitable interior cleaner.
Clean the cushions down to the seams using
large sweeping motions. Avoid rubbing the
material vigorously.
