Protecting leather upholstery1. Put a small amount of protectant creamon a cloth and apply a thin coating of cream to the upholstery with light circularmovements.
2. Allow the leather to dry for 20 minutes. This will help the leather resist staining and protect against sunlight's harmful UV rays.
CAUTION
• Under no circumstances should gaso- line, naphtha or similar cleaning agentsbe used on the plastic or the leathersince these can cause damage.
• Take extra care when removing stainssuch as ink or lipstick since the color-ing can spread.
• Use solvents sparingly. Too much sol-vent can damage the seat padding.
• Start from the outside of the stain andwork toward the center.
• Sharp objects (e.g. pencils or pens in apocket) or Velcro fasteners on clothingmay damage the textile upholstery.
• Clothing that is not colorfast, such asnew jeans or suede garments, maystain the upholstery.
Cleaning a leather-covered steering wheel
•
Remove soil, dust, etc., with a damp sponge and a neutral soap solution.
• Leather should be allowed to breath.Never cover the steering wheel with aplastic protector.
• Volvo recommends cleaning, protectingand conditioning the steering wheel withVolvo's Leather Care Kit 951 0251 andLeather Softener 943 7429.
If there are stains on the steering wheel: Type 1 (ink, wine, coffee, milk, sweat or
blood)
–Use a soft cloth or sponge. Wipe the wheel with a solution with 5% ammonia.For blood stains, mix approx. 1 cup (2 dl)of water and one ounce (25g) of salt andwipe the stain.
Type 2 (fat, oil, sauces, or chocolate)
1. Same procedure as for type I stains.
2. Finish by rubbing the wheel with absorb- ent paper or a towel.
Type 3 (dry soil or dust)
1. Remove the soil/dust with a soft brush.
2. Same procedure as for type I stains.
CAUTION
Sharp objects, such as rings, could dam- age the leather on the steering wheel.
Cleaning the seat beltsClean only with lukewarm water and a mild soap solution.
Cleaning floor matsThe floor mats should be vacuumed orbrushed clean regularly, especially duringwinter when they should be taken out for dry-ing. Spots on textile mats can be removedwith a mild detergent. For best protection inwinter, Volvo recommends the use of Volvorubber floor mats. Consult your Volvo retailer.
Spots on interior plastic, metal, or wood surfaces
Cleaning interior plastic components should be done with a cleaning agent speciallydesigned for this purpose. Consult your Volvoretailer.
