General Precautions When Performing Interior Maintenance Work
Do not allow alkaline solutions such as perfumes and cosmetic oils to come into contact with the dashboard, as they may damage it or cause discoloration of the material. If such oil does get on the dashboard, wipe it off immediately. See the cleaning instructions below for vinyl products.
Attention. Under no circumstances should water or other liquids come into contact with electrical/electronic components inside the vehicle as this may damage them.
Attention. For cleaning leather surfaces (steering wheel, seat upholstery, etc.) use neutral cleaners or low alcohol solutions. The use of high alcohol solutions or acid/alkaline cleaners may cause the color to fade or the top layer of the leather to be removed.
Cleaning upholstery and interior fittings
Vinyl
Remove dust and light dirt from the surface of the vinyl elements using a whisk or vacuum cleaner. Clean their surfaces with a special cleaner for vinyl elements.
Textile
Remove dust and light dirt from the surface of the fabric elements using a whisk or vacuum cleaner. Clean with a non-alkaline soap solution recommended for fabric upholstery or rugs. Remove fresh stains as soon as possible using a fabric stain remover. If a fresh stain goes unnoticed, the fabric may stain and its color will be spoiled. In addition, if the material is not properly cared for, its fire resistance may be reduced.
Attention. Failure to use the recommended cleaning products and methods may adversely affect the fabric's appearance and fire resistance.
Cleaning the webbing of the lap/shoulder combination seat belt
Clean the webbing straps with a non-caustic soap solution recommended for fabric upholstery or rugs. Follow the soap manufacturer's instructions. Woven straps should not be bleached or dyed as this may weaken them.
Glass cleaning from the inside
If the inner surfaces of the car windows are fogged up (i.e. covered with an oily, greasy or waxy film), they should be cleaned with glass cleaner. Follow the instructions on the glass cleaner packaging.
Attention. Do not scrape or scrape the interior-facing surface of the rear window. This may damage the rear window defroster mesh.
