
CAUTION
■
Natural leather / Faux leather / Alcantara
®
/ material
■
In lengthy periods in bright sunlight, it might be sensible to cover these ma-
terials in order to avoid bleaching.
■
Fresh stains (e.g. from pens, lipstick, shoe polish etc.) should be removed as
soon as possible.
■
Ensure that no part of the leather is soaked through during cleaning and
that no water gets into the seams.
■
Do not clean the roof panelling with a brush – risk of damage to the surface
of the panelling.
■
Do not use solvents, floor wax, shoe cream, stain remover or similar agents
on Alcantara
®
seat upholstery.
■
Some clothing fabrics (e.g. dark denim) do not have sufficient colour fast-
ness - this may leave evident marks on upholstery. This is not a defect in the
fabric.
■
Sharp objects on garments (e.g. zips, rivets, sharp- edged belts) can dam-
age the upholstery fabrics in the vehicle. Such damage cannot be subse-
quently recognised as a justified complaint.
■
Plastic parts
■
Do not attach scents or air fresheners to the dashboard – there is a risk of
damage to the dashboard.
■
Windows
■
Do not attach any stickers to the filaments or glass antenna - there is risk
of damage.
■
Covers of electrically heated seats
■
Do not clean with water or other liquids - there is a risk of damage to the
heating system.
■
Do not dry by switching on the heating.
■
Seat belts
■
Allow to dry before rolling up the seat belts.
Note
During vehicle use, the leather and Alcantara
®

(e.g. folds, discolouration).
