Safety information
NOTICE
Open hook and loop fasteners on articles
of clothing can damage the seat covers
and other cloth upholstery in the vehicle.
There is a risk of damage to property. En-
sure that any Velcro® fasteners are closed.
Upholstery material care
Vacuum the cushions regularly with a vac-
uum cleaner. Clean extensively down to
the seams. Avoid rubbing the material vigo-
rously.
Textile care
Using a damp microfiber cloth, clean the
fabric regularly.
Caring for special components
Displays, operating elements, and
projection screen 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 possi-
ble.
– 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
projection screen of the Head-up dis-
play with a damp microfiber cloth and
standard household dish soap.
Light-alloy wheels
Corrosive, acidic, or alkaline cleaning
agents can damage the rim surface and the
protective layer on adjacent components,
e.g., the brakes.
When cleaning the vehicle, use only neutral
rim cleaners with a pH value of 5 to 9. Do
not use abrasive cleaning agents or steam-
jet cleaners above 140 ℉/60 ℃. Follow in-
structions given by the manufacturer.
After cleaning, apply the brakes briefly to
dry them. The heat generated while braking
dries the brake disks and brake pads and
protects them from corrosion.
Chrome surfaces
Carefully clean chrome-like surfaces, espe-
cially if exposed to road salt, using plenty of
water and adding auto shampoo as needed.
Rubber components
Environmental influences can cause surface
contamination of rubber parts and a loss of
shine. Use only water and suitable cleaning
agents for cleaning.
Treat especially worn rubber parts with rub-
ber care products at regular intervals. To
avoid damage or noise, use care products
containing silicon to maintain the rubber
sealing rings.
Wiper blades
The wiper blades are cleaned by using the
window washer system.
To prevent a reduction in wiper quality,
avoid cleaning the wiper blades manually
unless necessary.
Fine wood parts
Clean the fine wood veneer and fine wood
components with a damp cloth. Then dry
with a soft cloth.
