Care of vehicle and cleaning
– Do not let any liquid get between the in-
strument cluster and the trim – risk of
damage!
– Avoid exposing leather to direct sunlight
for long periods, otherwise it may tend to
lose some of its colour. If the car is left for
a prolonged period in the bright sun, it is
best to cover the leather.
– Control consoles
– Do not let any liquid get inside the control
consoles – risk of damage!
– Seat belts
– Clip wall mount
– Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or flu-
ids containing alcohol – risk of discoloura-
tion!
– Do not remove the seat belts to clean
them.
– Do not use chemical cleaning agents, cor-
rosive liquids, solvents or sharp instru-
ments to clean the seat belts or their com-
ponents – this can damage the belt web-
bing!
Note
– It is much easier to remove dead insects if
the car has been waxed recently.
– Regular waxing can help protect against
surface rust.
– If you find any damage to the belt web-
bing, the belt fittings, the belt retractor or
the buckle, have the belt in question re-
placed by a qualified workshop.
– Fabrics/leatherette/microfibre
– The decals undergo an ageing process (e.g.
becoming brittle) due to various environ-
mental factors. Excessive exposure to sun-
light may cause irregularities in the colour-
ing of the decals.
– Do not use leather care products, sol-
vents, wax polish, shoe cream, stain re-
movers, or any similar products on leath-
erette/microfibre fabrics.
Taking the vehicle out of
service
– To avoid damage, stubborn stains should
be removed by a qualified workshop.
– Never use steam cleaners, brushes, hard
sponges or similar utensils.
If you wish to take your vehicle out of service for
a long period of time, contact an Audi dealer or
other qualified workshop. They can give you ad-
vice on the measures necessary, depending on
where and for how long the vehicle is to be kept
out of service.
– Do not use the seat heating* to dry the
seats.
– Sharp-edged objects on clothing, such as
zip fasteners, rivets or belts, can also
damage the surface of the fabric.
– Please make sure you close any velcro fas-
teners, e.g. on your clothing, as these
could otherwise damage the upholstery.
– Natural leather
– Do not use solvents, wax polish, shoe
cream, stain removers, or any similar
products on leather fabrics.
– Sharp-edged objects on clothing, such as
zip fasteners, rivets or belts, can also
damage the surface of the fabric.
– Never use steam cleaners, brushes, hard
sponges or similar utensils.
– Do not use the seat heating* to dry the
seats.
