Natural leather

ä
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 100.
Depending on the amount of wear-and-tear, the leather should be cleaned on a
regular basis.
Normal cleaning
Clean soiled areas of the leather with slightly moistened cotton or woollen cloth.
Severe soiling
Ensure that the leather is not soaked through at any point and that no water gets
into the stitching of the seams.
Dry off the leather with a soft, dry cloth.
Removing stains
Remove fresh stains which are water-based (e.g. coffee, tea, juices, blood, etc.)
with an absorbent cloth or household paper or use a suitable cleaner for a stain
which has already dried in.
Remove fresh stains which are grease-based (e.g. butter, mayonnaise, chocolate,
etc.) with an absorbent cloth or household cleaning paper or use a suitable clean-
er if the stain has not yet penetrated into the surface.
Use a grease solvent for grease stains which have dried in.
Remove specific stains (e.g. ball-point pens, marker pen, nail varnish, dispersion
paint, shoe polish, etc.) with a special stain remover suitable for leather.
Leather care
Treat the leather roughly every six months with a suitable leather care product.
Apply only a small amount of the cleaning and care product.
Dry off the leather with a soft, dry cloth.
CAUTION
Avoid leaving the vehicle for lengthy periods in bright sunlight to avoid the
■
leather from bleaching. If the vehicle is parked in the open for lengthy periods,
protect the leather from direct sunlight by covering it.
Sharp-edged objects on items of clothing such as zip fasteners, rivets, sharp-
■
edged belts may leave permanent scratches or signs of rubbing on the surface.
The use of a mechanical steering wheel lock may damage the leather surface of
■

the steering wheel.
Note
Use a care cream with light blocker and impregnation effect on a regular basis
■
and each time after cleaning. The cream nourishes the leather, allows it to
breathe and keeps it supple and also provides moisture. It also creates surface
protection.
Clean the leather every 2 to 3 months, remove any fresh stains as they occur.
■
Also look after the leather dye. Refresh any areas with a special coloured leath-
■
er cream as required.
The leather is a natural material with specific properties. During the use of the
■
vehicle, minor optical changes can occur on the leather parts of the covers (e. g
wrinkles or creases as a result of the stress of the covers).

Seat belts

ä
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 100.
Keep the seat belts clean!
Clean dirty seat belts using a mild soapy solution and remove coarse dirt with a
soft brush!
Check the condition of all the seat belts on a regular basis.
Belt webbing which has become severely soiled may prevent the inertia reel from
reeling up the belt properly.
