Care

122

Floor mats can be removed to be cleaned. When
putting the floor mats, back in, make sure that
the seat rails do not extend over the floor mats
as this may damage them.
Lint on floor mats arises from manufacturing
and can be removed by repeated vacuuming.

Interior plastic parts

These include:

Plastic surfaces

Lamp glass

Display panes

Matte parts

Only clean with water and, if necessary, solvent-
free plastic cleaners.

Do not use solvents such as alcohol, lac-
quer thinner, cold cleaners, fuel, or similar,

as these will damage the surfaces.

Decorative strips*

Only clean decorative strips with moist cloths.
Wipe dry with a soft cloth.

Safety belts

Do not use cleansers since they can
destroy the fabric.

Displays

To clean displays such as radios or display ele-
ments, use a display cleaning cloth or a soft,
non-scratching, lint-free cloth.

Avoid pressing too hard when cleaning
the display as this can cause damage.

Do not use chemical or abrasive house-
hold cleaning agents. Keep fluids of any

kind away from the device. Surfaces or electrical
components may otherwise become corroded
or damaged.

CD/DVD drives

Do not use cleaning CDs as this could
damage parts of the drive.

Vehicle storage

If you are not going to drive your car for more
