so
protecting the car exterior from the effects of air pollution, rain and \

Cleaning the upholstery
The fabric can be cleaned with soapy water or a
detergent. For more difficult spots caused by oil,
ice cream, shoe polish, grease, etc., use a clothing/
clothing fabric stain remover.
The plastic in the upholstery can be washed with
soapy water or a mild detergent.
Leather upholstery/suede-like upholstery
(alcantera) can be cleaned with a soft cloth and
mild soap solution. For more difficult spots,
Volvo offers a leather care kit.
On no account must gasoline, naphtha or
similar cleaning agents be used on the plastic
or the leather since these can cause damage.
Cleaning the seat belts
Clean only with lukewarm water and mild soap
solution.
Bear in mind
l Take extra care when removing stains such as
ink or lipstick since the coloring can spread.
l Use solvents sparingly. Too much solvent can
damage the seat padding.
l Start from the outside of the stain and work
toward the center.
