To avoid damage to the seats and the seat

keep liquids from spilling on the seats. If
liquid is spilled on the seats, dry them as
soon as possible.

R
clean the seat covers as recommended;
see "Interior care".
R
do not transport heavy loads on the seats.
Do not place sharp objects on the seat
cushions, e.g. knives, nails or tools. The

installed with the NECK-PRO system
(
Y page 55). For this reason, it is not possible
to remove the head restraints from the front
seats.
