Vehicle paint
Regular care contributes to driving safety and
value retention. Environmental influences in
areas with high air pollution or natural contami‐
nants, such as tree resin or pollen, can have an
impact on the vehicle paint. Tailor the frequency
and extent of your car care to these influences.
Note the vehicle width
Before driving into a car wash, make sure
that the vehicle width is not too large for the car
wash, as otherwise the vehicle and the car wash
could be damaged.◀
Immediately remove aggressive substances,
such as spilled fuel, oil, grease, or bird drop‐
pings, to prevent damage to or discoloration of
the paintwork.

▷
Do not rub dry and do not use abrasive or
caustic cleansers.
▷
Soak areas that have been soiled e.g. due to
insects, with shampoo and wash off with
water.
Leather care
Remove dust from the leather often, using a
cloth or vacuum cleaner.
▷
Thaw ice with de-icing spray; do not use an
ice scraper.
Otherwise, particles of dust and road grime
chafe in pores and folds, and lead to increased
wear and premature degradation of the leather
surface.
After washing the vehicle
After washing the vehicle, apply the brakes
briefly to dry them; otherwise, braking action can
be reduced and corrosion of the brake discs can
occur.
To guard against discoloration, such as from
clothing, provide leather care roughly every two
months.
Fully remove an residue from the windows; oth‐
erwise, streaking may occur when the wind‐
shield wipers are activated, impairing your view
and causing wiper noise.
Clean light-colored leather more frequently as
dust and dirt are more noticeable.
Use leather care products; otherwise, dirt and
grease will gradually break down the protective
layer of the leather surface.
Suitable care products are available from the
service center.
