Care
110
Outside sensors
Keep sensors outside the vehicle, e.g.
Park Distance Control, clean and free of
ice in order to maintain full functionality.<
Interior care
Upholstery materials/cloth coverings
Clean regularly with a vacuum cleaner in order
to remove surface dirt.
With heavy soiling, such as spotting caused by
beverages, use a soft sponge or a lint-free
microfiber cloth in combination with suitable
interior cleaners. Follow instructions on the
packaging.
Clean upholstery material in large areas
extending all the way to the seams. Avoid
rubbing forcefully.<
Open Velcro-type fasteners on pants or
other items of clothing can damage the
seat covers. Make sure that Velcro-type fasten-
ers are closed.<
Leather/leather seat covers
The leather used by BMW is a high-qual-
ity natural product. Slight grain patterns
are part of the typical properties of a leather in
its natural state.<
Dust and road grime chafe in pores and folds,
leading to pronounced abrasion and premature
degradation of the leather surface. We there-
fore suggest that you clean the leather at fre-
quent intervals with a dust cloth or vacuum
cleaner.
Particularly with light-colored leather, make
sure that it is cleaned regularly since it tends to
soil more easily.
Treat the leather twice a year with a leather
lotion since dirt and grease break down the pro-
tective layer of the leather.
Carpets/cargo area
Floor carpeting and floor mats can be vacu-
u m e d o r w h e n m o r e h e a vily soiled, cleaned with
an interior cleaner.
Floor mats can be removed for cleaning. When
inserting them, make sure that the seat rails do
not protrude over the floor mats; otherwise the
floor mats can be damaged.
Fluff on floormats results from the production
process and can be removed by repeated vacu-
uming.
Plastic components inside
>Imitation leather surfaces
>Lamp lenses
>Covering glass of the instrument panel
>Matte components
Clean with water and solvent-free plastic
cleaner if so desired.
Fine wooden components
Use a damp cloth to clean fine wooden trim
panels and components. Follow up by drying
with a soft cloth.
Safety belts
Do not clean with cleansers; this can
destroy the webbing.<
Displays
Use a display-cleaning cloth or a soft, nonabra-
sive, lint-free cloth to clean displays, e.g. of the
radio or the instrument panel.
Avoid rubbing too forcefully when clean-
ing displays; otherwise, you can damage
them.<
Never use chemical-based cleansers or
scouring household cleansers. Keep all
liquids away from the equipment. Moisture can
attack or damage the surfaces of electrical
components.<
CD/DVD players
Do not use cleaning CDs; they can dam-
age parts of the player.<
