Cleaning the interior
Only use cleaning agents and car care products
recommended by Volvo. Clean regularly and
treat stains immediately for best results. It is
important to vacuum before using a cleaning
agent.
CAUTION •
Some colored clothing (for example, dark
jeans and suede garments) may stain the
upholstery. If this occurs, it is important to
clean and treat these parts of the uphols-
tery as soon as possible.
• Never use strong solvents such as
washer fluid, gasoline, mineral spirit or
concentrated alcohol to clean the interior
as this can damage the upholstery as
well as other interior materials.
• Never spray cleaning agent directly onto
components that have electrical buttons
and controls. Wipe instead with a damp
cloth with cleaning agent.
• Sharp objects and Velcro can damage
the car's textile upholstery.

WARNING •
Never use more than one inlay mat at a
time on the driver's floor. If any other type
of floor mat is used, remove the original
mat from the driver's seat floor before
driving. All types of mats must be securely
anchored in the attachment points in the
floor. Make sure the floor mat does not
impede the movement of the brake pedal
or accelerator pedal in any way, as this
could be a serious safety hazard.
• Volvo's floor mats are specially manufac-
tured for your vehicle. They must be prop-
erly secured in the attachment points in
the floor to help ensure they cannot slide
and become trapped under the pedals.
After vacuuming, a specially designed textile
cleaning agent should be used to remove stains
on floor mats. Floor mats should be cleaned with
products recommended by Volvo retailers.

Leather upholstery*Volvo's leather upholstery is treated to protect its
original appearance. Over time, sunlight, grease,
dirt, etc. could break down the protective layer.
This could result in scratches and cracking.
Leather upholstery is a natural product that
changes and acquires a beautiful patina over
time. Regular cleaning and treatments are
required to preserve the qualities and color of the
leather. Volvo offers a comprehensive product,
Volvo Leather Care Kit/Wipes, for cleaning and
treating leather upholstery that, when used as
directed, preserves the leather's protective coa-
ting.
For best results, Volvo recommends cleaning and
applying protective cream one to four times a
year (or more as needed). Volvo Leather Care Kit
951 0251 and Volvo Leather Softener 943
7429 are available for purchase at Volvo retailers.

Cleaning the leather upholstery
1. Apply the leather cleaner to a damp spongeand squeeze it until the cleaner foams.
2. Move the sponge in circular motions to apply the foam to the stain.
3. Dampen the stain thoroughly with the sponge. Let the sponge absorb the stain and
do not rub.
4. Dry the stain using a soft towel and let the leather dry completely.
Protecting the leather upholstery
1. Apply a small amount of leather protector toa cloth and then apply the protector to the
leather using light circular movements.
2. Let it dry for approximately 20 minutes.
Protecting the leather upholstery makes it better
able to withstand sunlight's harmful UV rays.

The vehicle should be washed as soon as it
becomes dirty. This makes the vehicle easier to
clean because dirt does not attach as strongly. It
also reduces the risk of scratches and keeps the
vehicle looking new. Wash the vehicle in a car
wash or garage with an oil separator. Use a car
washing detergent.
