Cleaning fabrics and textiles

If you get a stain on the car's interior, such as on the headlining or seat upholstery, clean it as soon as possible.

These recommendations apply to various interior fabrics, including Tailored knit.

 Important

When cleaning textiles

  • Never scrape or rub dirty surfaces. Instead, use gentle circular motions. Remember that sharp objects or abrasive materials can damage the car.
  • Always clean the entire upholstery. Cleaning only spots on the upholstery can leave water rings or other marks.
  • Do not remove surface upholstery during cleaning.
  • Certain clothes, such as jeans or suede, can discolour the textile upholstery.
  • Be careful when cleaning the headliner as harsh treatment may damage it.
  • Only use cleaning agents and car care products recommended for cleaning textiles, and follow each product's accompanying instructions.

 Warning

Seats with side airbags

Never spray a cleaning agent directly on the sides of seats with side airbags. Instead, wipe them clean with a cloth lightly dampened with a suitable cleaning agent.

Vacuum clean or dust off the area to remove loose dust and dirt.
Clean the area with a neutral-coloured, clean and lint-free microfibre cloth that is lightly dampened with water or a colourless, mild cleaning agent. Use gentle circular motions.

 Tip

To wash the textile upholstery, an upholstery cleaning machine is recommended for extracting the cleaning solution and performing a water rinse.
Let the material dry fully before use.
