Cleaning fabrics and textiles
If you get a stain on the vehicle's interior, such as on the headlining, speaker cover or seat upholstery, clean it as soon as possible.
These recommendations apply to various interior fabrics.
Important
When cleaning upholstery
- Never scrape or rub dirty surfaces. Instead, use gentle circular motions. Remember that sharp objects or abrasive materials can damage the vehicle.
- Always clean the entire upholstery. Cleaning only isolated 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 discolor the textile upholstery.
- Be careful when cleaning the dashboard or 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.
- Never spray fluids directly on electrical components, such as loudspeakers, buttons or controls.
Warning
Seats with side airbags

- Vacuum or dust the area to remove loose dust and dirt.
- Clean the area with a neutral-colored, clean and lint-free microfiber cloth that is lightly dampened with water or a colorless, mild cleaning agent. Use gentle circular motions.To wash the textile seat upholstery, an upholstery cleaning machine is recommended for extracting the cleaning solution and performing a water rinse.
Tip
- Let the material dry fully before use.
