Synthetic leather, fabrics and Alcantara

Read and observe and
Artificial leather
Clean artificial leather with a damp cloth.
If this method does not completely clean the artificial leather, use a mild soap
solution or cleaning products specially designed for this purpose.
Fabric
Clean upholstery cover materials and cloth trims on doors, boot cover, etc. us-
ing specific cleaning agents, e.g., dry foam.
Use a soft sponge, brush, or commercially available microfibre cloth.
Use a cloth and special detergent to clean the headlining.
Remove any lumps on the cover fabric and any fabric residue using a brush.
Remove stubborn hair using a "cleaning glove".
®
Alcantara
Dust and fine dirt particles in pores, creases and seams may chafe and damage
the surface.
If you leave your vehicle parked in the open for lengthy periods, protect the Al-
®
cantara seat upholstery from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
Minor changes in colour caused by use are normal.
CAUTION
Do not use leather cleaners on Alcantara
■
Do not use solvents, floor wax, shoe cream, stain remover or similar agents
■
®
on Alcantara seat upholstery.
Avoid leaving the vehicle in bright sunlight for long periods of time in order
■
to stop the fabric from bleaching. If the vehicle is parked outside for long peri-
ods of time, cover the fabric to protect it from direct sunlight.
Some clothing materials, e.g. dark denim, do not have sufficient colour fast-
■
ness. This can cause damage or clearly visible discolouration to seat covers,
even when used correctly. This applies particularly to light-coloured seat cov-
ers. This does not relate to a fault in the seat cover, but rather to poor colour
fastness of the clothing textiles.

seat upholstery.
Seat covers

Read and observe and
Electrically heated seats
Do not clean the covers by moistening, as this can damage the seat heating
system.
Use a specific cleaning agent such as dry foam or similar to clean the covers.
Seats without seat heating
Thoroughly vacuum the seat covers with a vacuum cleaner before cleaning.
Clean the seat covers with a damp cloth or cleaning products specially de-
signed for this purpose.
Indented points arising on the fabrics by everyday use, can be removed by
brushing against the direction of hair with a damp brush.
Always clean all parts of the covers, so that there are no visible edges. Then
allow the seat to dry completely.
CAUTION
Regularly remove dust from the seat covers using a vacuum cleaner.
■
Electrically heated seats must not be dried after cleaning by switching on the
■
heater.
Do not sit on wet seats - risk of seat deformation.
■
Always clean the seats "from seam to seam".
■
Seat belts

Read and observe and
The belt webbing must always be kept clean.
Wash dirty seat belts with mild soapy water.
Remove coarse dirt with a soft brush.
Dirty belt webbing may impair the correct functioning of the inertia reel.
WARNING
The seat belts must not be removed for cleaning.
■
Never clean the seat belts chemically as chemical cleaning products could
■
destroy the fabric.
