Interior care Upholstery/fabrics Clean regularly with a vacuum cleaner in order to remove surface dirt. In the event of more serious soiling such as beverage stains, use a soft sponge or a lint-free microfiber cloth in combination with suitable interior cleaners. Follow the instructions on the packaging. Clean upholstery material over a large area extending out to the seams. Avoid intense friction.< Open Velcro fasteners on pants or other items of clothing can cause damage to the seat covering. Make sure that the Velcro fasteners are closed.< Fluff on new floor mats is a result of the production process and can be removed by repeated vacuuming. Plastic components inside Clean the glass cover of the instrument panel, imitation leather surfaces, lamp lenses, and matte components with water and, if necessary, a solvent-free plastic cleaner. 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 Dirty belt straps impede the reeling action and thus have a negative impact on safety. Chemical cleaning Do not clean chemically, as this may destroy the webbing.< Leather/leather coverings The leather used by BMW is a high quality natural product. Slight patterns in the grain are part of the typical properties of a natural leather. Dust and dirt from the road chafe in pores and folds and result in considerable wear and cause the leather surface to become prematurely brittle. We therefore suggest that you clean the leather with a dust cloth or vacuum cleaner at regular intervals.< Particularly with light-colored leather, make sure to clean it regularly since it has a greater tendency to become soiled. Treat the leather twice a year with a leather lotion since dirt and grease harm the protective layer of the leather. Inside sensors Clean inside sensors such as those of the highbeam assistant using a lint-free cloth moistened with glass cleaner. Displays Clean displays like the radio or the Control Display using a display-cleaning cloth or a soft, nonabrasive lint-free cloth. Avoid using excessive pressure when cleaning displays; otherwise, you could damage them.< Never use chemical-based cleansers or household scouring products. Keep all liquids away from the equipment. Otherwise corrosion or damage to surfaces or electrical components can occur.< Carpets/cargo bay Carpeting, floor mats, and luggage compartment rugs and paneling can be cleaned with a vacuum or in the event of more serious soiling, cleansed with an interior cleaner. Floor mats and luggage compartment rugs can be removed for cleaning. When inserting into place, make sure that the seat rails do not protrude over the floor mats; otherwise floor mats can be damaged. CD/DVD drives Do not use cleaning CDs; they can damage parts of the player.< 219 Online Edition for Part no. 01 41 2 602 678 - © 08/09 BMW AG Reference Mobility Communications Entertainment Navigation Driving tips Controls At a glance
