Caring for your car

Plastic components, vinyl upholstery,

headliners, lamp lenses, the clear cover

of the instrument panel and compo-

nents with a sprayed dull black surface

can be cleaned with water (add plastic

shampoo as required). Do not allow

moisture to soak through the seats or

headliner. Never use solvents such as

lacquer thinner, heavy-duty grease re-

mover, fuels, or similar substances.

Rubber components should be cleaned

with water only; a rubber treatment or

silicone spray may also be applied.

Clean the wiper blades with soapy

water. The wiper blades should be re-

placed twice a year – before and after

the cold season. This is especially im-

portant for vehicles with a rain sensor

*.

Use only wiper blades approved

by BMW.<

Do not remove safety belts to clean

them. Clean them with mild soapy

water only. Do not use chemicals or dry

cleaners to clean safety belts, since this

could damage the belt fabric.

After cleaning, never allow the inertia

reel to retract the belts until they are

completely dry. Dirty safety belts pre-

vent the inertia reel mechanism from

retracting the strap properly, and thus

constitute a safety hazard.

Heavily soiled floor carpets and mats

*

can be cleaned with an interior cleaner.

The floor mats can be removed from

the vehicle for cleaning.

Use only a damp cloth to clean trim

panels made of real wood

* and other

parts constructed of real wood

*. Follow

up by drying with a soft cloth.

Use cleaning and car-care

products that you can obtain at

your BMW center.<

Care of upholstery materials

Depressions in the upholstery that re-

sult from everyday use can be brushed

smooth by brushing against the nap

with a lightly dampened brush.

The tendency of the pile to lie in a par-

ticular direction on velour upholstery is

not a quality defect. Just as with home

textiles or clothing, this cannot be

avoided.

Lint on upholstery materials, rubbed-in

fabric or suede residues can be re-

moved with a lint brush or Velcro®

brush. A cleaning glove is available for

especially "stubborn" lint. Stains and

fairly large areas of dirt should be

cleaned off without delay, using luke-

warm water and an interior cleaner,

stain remover or appropriate cleaning

fluid. Brush the fabric afterwards to re-

store its appearance.

If the vehicle will be stored for an ex-

tended period or if it is exposed to in-

tense sunlight, cover all the seats or the

windows to prevent fading.

Use cleaning and car-care

products that you can obtain at

your BMW center.<
