surfaces and seams within a few seconds.

WARNING

Using solvents or other improper cleaning products on surfaces where airbags are located

can change the way airbags deploy in a crash.

ꢀ

Products containing solvents will change the properties of the plastics and may cause

plastic parts to break and fly around when the airbag deploys in a crash, causing injury.

Never use solvents or cleaners on the steering wheel horn pad or on the instrument panel

ꢀ

because they can damage the airbag cover or change the stiffness or strength of the material

so that the airbag cannot deploy and protect properly.

ꢀ When cleaning the horn pad and instrument panel, use only a soft, dry cloth or a cloth

moistened with plain water.

Cleaning the safety belts

ꢀ Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS

If a safety belt is dirty, this can prevent the belt from working properly. Keep safety belts clean and

regularly check all safety belts for damage.

Safety belts must never be taken apart for cleaning.

ꢀ

Remove coarse dirt with a soft brush ⇒ꢀ

Carefully pull the dirty safety belt out of the retractor and keep it out.

Clean the safety belt with a mild soap solution.

After cleaning, always give the safety belts time to dry thoroughly before letting them retract. This

helps prevent damage to the retractor.

ꢀ

Do not let the safety belts retract until they are completely dry.
