Safety information
WARNING
Improperly performed work on the vehicle
paint can lead to a failure or malfunction
of the radar sensors and thereby result in a
safety risk. There is a risk of accidents or
risk of damage to property. Have paint-
work or paintwork repairs on bumpers of
vehicles with radar sensors performed by a
dealer’s service center or another qualified
service center or repair shop only.
Matte finish
Only use cleaning and care products suita-
ble for vehicles with matte finish.
Leather care
Remove dust from the leather regularly, us-
ing a cloth or vacuum cleaner.
Otherwise, particles of dust and road grime
chafe in pores and folds, and lead to in-
creased wear 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
because soiling on such surfaces is substan-
tially more visible.
Use leather care products; otherwise, dirt
and grease will gradually break down the
protective layer of the leather surface.
Upholstery material care
General information
Vacuum the upholstery regularly with a
vacuum cleaner.
If upholstery is very dirty, for instance with
beverage stains, use a soft sponge or micro-
fiber cloth with a suitable interior cleaner.
Clean the upholstery down to the seams us-
ing large sweeping motions. Avoid rubbing
the material vigorously.
Safety information
NOTICE
Open Velcro® fasteners on articles of
clothing can damage the seat covers.
There is a risk of damage to property. En-
sure 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
manufacturer's instructions.
Aggressive, acidic or alkaline cleaning
agents can destroy the protective layer of
adjacent components, such as the brake
disc.
After cleaning, apply the brakes briefly to
dry them. The heat generated during brak-
ing dries brake discs and brake pads and
protects them against corrosion.
Chrome surfaces
Carefully clean components such as the ra-
diator grille or door handles with an ample
supply of water, possibly with shampoo
added, particularly when they have been ex-
posed to road salt.
Rubber components
Environmental influences can cause surface
soiling of rubber parts and a loss of gloss.
Use only water and suitable cleaning agents
for cleaning.
