vehicle, always use suitable ladders or other
secure climbing aids.

Cleaning the interior of the vehicle
Seat belts
!
Observe the following notes on cleaning
the seat belts:
R
remove any stains or dirt immediately.
This will avoid residue or damage.
R
do not bleach or dye the seat belts. This
could impair the function of the seat
belts.
R
do not dry the seat belts in direct sunlight
or at temperatures above 176 ‡ (80 †).
Steering wheel boss and cockpit
G
WARNING
When cleaning the steering wheel boss and
dashboard, do not use cockpit sprays or
cleaning agents containing solvents. Cleaning
agents containing solvents cause the surface
to become porous, and as a result, plastic
parts may break away and be thrown around
the interior when an air bag is deployed, which
may result in severe injuries.
Use a damp, clean and lint-free cloth to clean
the plastic components and the cockpit. If
particularly dirty, use a mild detergent.
!
Do not use dry, coarse or hard cloths and
do not scrub. You could otherwise scratch
or damage the surfaces.
Audio equipment and monitor display
X
Switch off the audio equipment or monitor
of the rear-view camera and allow to cool.
X
Clean the display surface with a
commercially available microfiber cloth
and cleaner for TFT/LCD displays.
X
After drying, polish the display surface with
a dry microfiber cloth, applying only light
pressure.
!
Do not use dry, rough or hard cloths or
abrasive products, solvents or cleaning
agents containing solvents. Do not scrub.
Only apply light pressure when cleaning.
Otherwise, you will damage the display
surface, as it is sensitive to pressure and
susceptible to scratches.
Windows
!
Do not use dry cloths, abrasive products,
solvents or cleaning agents containing
solvents to clean the inside of the windows.
Clean the inside of the windows with a
damp cloth or a commercially available
glass cleaner.
Do not touch the inside of the rear and side
windows with hard objects, e.g. an ice
scraper or ring. You could otherwise
damage the windows or the rear window
defroster.
Cleaning the exterior of the vehicle
General notes
Scratches, corrosive deposits, areas affected
by corrosion and damage caused by neglect
or inadequate care cannot always be
completely remedied. In this case, visit a
qualified specialist workshop.
