Otherwise, particles of dust and road grime

chafe in pores and folds, and lead to increased

wear and premature degradation of the leather

surface.

To guard against discoloration, such as from

clothing, provide leather care roughly every

two months.

Clean light-colored leather more frequently be‐

cause soiling on such surfaces is substantially

more visible.

Use leather care products; otherwise, dirt and

grease will gradually break down the protective

layer of the leather surface.

Suitable care products are available from the

service center.

Upholstery material care

Vacuum regularly with a vacuum cleaner.

If they are very dirty, e.g., beverage stains, use

a soft sponge or microfiber cloth with a suita‐

ble interior cleaner.

Clean the upholstery down to the seams using

large sweeping motions. Avoid rubbing the

material vigorously.

Damage from Velcro® fasteners

Open Velcro® fasteners on pants or

other articles of clothing can damage the seat

covers. Ensure that any Velcro® fasteners are

closed.◀

Caring for special components

Light-alloy wheels

When cleaning the vehicle, use only neutral

wheel cleaners having a pH value from 5 to 9.

Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or steam

jets above 140 ℉/60 ℃. Follow the manufac‐

turer's instructions.

Aggressive, acidic or alkaline cleaning agents

can destroy the protective layer of adjacent

components, such as the brake disk.

Chrome surfaces

Carefully clean components such as the radia‐

tor grille or door handles with an ample supply

of water, possibly with shampoo added, partic‐

ularly when they have been exposed to road

salt.

Rubber components

Aside from water, treat only with rubber

cleansers.

When cleaning rubber seals, do not use any

silicon-containing car care products in order to

avoid damage or reduced noise damping.

Fine wood parts

Clean fine wood facing and fine wood compo‐

nents only with a moist rag. Then dry with a

soft cloth.

Plastic components

These include:

▷ Imitation leather surfaces.

▷ Headliner.

▷ Lamp lenses.

▷ Instrument cluster cover.

▷ Matte black spray-coated components.

▷ Painted parts in the interior.

Clean with a microfiber cloth.

Lightly dampen the cloth with water.

Do not soak the headliner.

Do not use cleansers that contain alcohol

or solvents

Do not use cleansers that contain alcohol or

solvents, such as lacquer thinners, heavy-duty

grease removers, fuel, or such; this could lead

to surface damage.◀

Safety belts

Dirty belt straps impede the reeling action and

thus have a negative impact on safety.
