Upholstery material care
Vacuum regularly with a vacuum cleaner.
Clean extensively down to the seams. Avoid
rubbing the material vigorously.
Textile care
Use a microfiber cloth for cleaning minor con-
tamination.
Dampen the cloth with water.
Caring for special components
Displays, operating elements, and
protective glass of the Head-up
display
NOTICE
Surfaces can be damaged by improper
cleaning, e.g., by using chemical cleaners, or
from moisture or liquid of any kind. Physical
damage to the material is possible.
▷ Avoid pressure that is too high and do
not use any scratching materials.
▷ Use a dry, clean antistatic microfiber
cloth for cleaning displays.
▷ Clean the operating elements and, de-
pending on vehicle equipment, the pro-
tective glass of the Head-up display with
a damp microfiber cloth and standard
household dish soap.
Light-alloy wheels
When cleaning the vehicle, use only neutral rim
cleaners having a pH value from 5 to 9. Do not
use abrasive cleaning agents or steam clean-
ers above 140 ℉/60 ℃. Follow the manufac-
turer's instructions.
Aggressive, acidic or alkaline cleaning agents
can destroy the protective coating of adjacent
components, such as the brake disk.
After cleaning, apply the brakes shortly to dry
them. The heat generated during braking dries
brake disks and brake pads and protects them
against corrosion.
Chrome surfaces
Carefully clean Chrome surfaces, especially in
case of exposure to road salt, with plenty of
water and added auto shampoo as needed.
Rubber components
Environmental influences can cause surface
contamination of rubber parts and a loss of
gloss. Use only water and suitable cleaning
agents for cleaning.
Treat especially worn rubber parts with rubber
care products at regular intervals. When clean-
ing rubber seals, do not use any silicon-con-
taining vehicle care products in order to avoid
damage or noises.
Wiper blades
The wiper blades are cleaned by using the
washer system.
Avoid cleaning the wiper blades manually, as
this may reduce wiper performance.
Fine wood parts
Clean the fine wood veneer and fine wood
components solely with a moist rag. Then dry
with a soft cloth.
Kenaf
Only treat parts made of Kenaf fibers using a
suitable care product.
Plastic components
NOTICE
Solvent cleaners that contain alcohol or sol-
vents, such as lacquer thinners, cold cleaning
agents, fuel and such, can damage plastic
parts. There is a risk of damage to property,
among other potential damage. Clean with a
