If road salt and brake dust are not removed regularly, they can corrode the metal.  
Use an acid-free detergent specifically designed for light alloy wheels. Do not use car polish or other  
abrasive products.  
If the protective coating is damaged, for example by stone impact, repair the damaged area right  
away.  
Caring for rubber door and window seals  
Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS  
The rubber seals around the doors and windows will stay soft and flexible, seal better and last longer if  
the seals are treated regularly with a suitable rubber care product.  
Before applying the treatment, use a soft cloth to remove dust and dirt from the rubber seals.  
Do not apply any rubber care products to the rubber seals on the body in the areas around the  
windows in the driver's and front passenger's doors. The product could run down onto the windows  
and smudge them.
