Aluminum running boards

A rust film on the aluminum running boards can be removed with a special cleaning agent.

Rubber components

Aside from water, treat only with rubber cleansers.

When cleaning rubber seals, do not use any silicon- containing car care products in order to avoid damage or reduced noise damping.

▷ Imitation leather surfaces.
▷ Headliner.
▷ Lamp lenses.

Dirty belt straps impede the reeling action and thus have a negative impact on safety.

No chemical cleaning

Do not allow the reels to retract the safety belts until they are dry.

Carpets and floor mats

No objects in the area around the pedals

Floor mats can be removed from the passenger compartment for cleaning.

When returning the floor mats, secure them again to prevent slipping.

If the floor carpets are very dirty, clean with a microfiber cloth and water or a textile cleaner. To prevent matting of the carpet, rub back and forth in the direction of travel only.

Sensors/cameras

Displays/screens
