Vehicle paintwork
General information
Regular vehicle care contributes to driving
safety and value retention. Environmental in-
fluences in areas with elevated air pollution
or natural contaminants, such as tree resin or
pollen, can affect the vehicle paintwork. Tailor
the frequency and extent of your vehicle care
to these influences.
Corrosive substances such as spilled fuel, oil,
grease or bird droppings, must be removed
immediately to prevent the finish from being
altered or discolored.
Matte paintwork
Only use cleaning and care products suitable
for vehicles with matte paintwork.
Leather care
Remove dust from the leather regularly, using
a cloth or vacuum cleaner.
Otherwise, particles of dust and road grime
chafe in pores and folds, and lead to heavy
abrasion and premature degradation of the
leather surface.
To guard against discoloration, such as from
clothing, clean leather and provide leather care
roughly every two months.
Clean light-colored leather more frequently be-
cause contamination on such surfaces is sub-
stantially more visible.
Use leather care products; otherwise, dirt and
grease will gradually break down the protective
coating of the leather surface.
Synthetic leather care
Clean synthetic leather regularly with a damp
microfiber cloth or vacuum cleaner.
Otherwise, dust and road grime particles will
rub into pores and folds, causing significant
abrasion and premature degradation of the
surface.
In case of major soiling, use a moist soft
sponge or microfiber cloth with suitable interior
cleaners.
Immediately remove aggressive substances
such as sunscreen to prevent the synthetic
leather from being altered or discolored.
Upholstery material care
General information
Vacuum the cushions regularly with a vacuum
cleaner.
If upholstery is very contaminated, for instance
with beverage stains, use a soft sponge or mi-
crofiber cloth with a suitable interior cleaner.
Clean the cushions down to the seams using
large sweeping motions. Avoid rubbing the
material vigorously.
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, among other
potential damage. Ensure that any Velcro®
fasteners are closed.
Caring for special components
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
