Maintenance
Fabrics/artificial leather/Alcantara leath-
er
●
Do not treat artificial leather/Alcantara
with leather cleaning products, solvents, wax
polish, shoe cream, stain removers or similar
products.
●
If the stain is very hard to remove, take the
vehicle to a specialised workshop to have it
removed there. This will prevent damage.
●
Do not use steam cleaners, brushes, hard
sponges, etc. to clean.
●
Do not turn on seat heating* to dry the
seats.
●
Sharp objects on clothing, such as zips, riv-
ets or belts can damage the surface.
●
Open Velcro, e.g. on clothes can damage
the seat upholstery. Make sure that Velcro
fasteners are closed.
Natural leather
●
Never use solvents, wax polish, shoe
cream, spot removers or similar products on
leather.
●
Sharp objects on clothing, such as zips, riv-
ets or belts can damage the surface.
●
Do not use steam cleaners, brushes, hard
sponges, etc. to clean.
●
Do not turn on seat heating* to dry the
seats.
●
Avoid exposing leather to direct sunlight
for long periods, otherwise it may tend to
lose some of its colour. If the car is left for a
prolonged period in the bright sun, it is best
to cover the leather.
WARNING
Do not use water-repellent coatings on the
windscreen. In bad visibility conditions such
as humid weather, darkness or when the
sun is in its lowest point, visibility may be
impacted. Risk of accident! Such coatings
can also cause the windscreen wiper blades
to make noise.
Note
●
Remains of insects can be removed much
more easily with previously treated paint.
●
Regular car care treatments can prevent
deposits of ambient rust.
