Caring for your vehicle

Plastic components, vinyl upholstery,

the headliner (with the hardtop

*), lamp

lenses, the clear cover for the instru-

ment cluster and dull black surfaces can

be cleaned with either water and possi-

bly a cleaner designed to be used on

plastic. Do not soak the seats or the

headliner (this applies to the hardtop

*).

Never use solvents such as lacquer thin-

ner, heavy-duty grease remover, 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 wa-

ter. The wiper blades should be re-

placed twice a year – before and after

winter. This is especially important 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 wa-

ter 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 the cleaning and car-care

products available 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, and, just as on

home textiles or clothing, cannot be

avoided.

Lint on upholstery materials, textile or

leather remnants that have been worn

into the upholstery may be removed

with a lint brush or a Velcro brush. A

cleaning glove is available for especially

"stubborn" lint. Stains and fairly large

areas of dirt should be cleaned off with-

out delay, using lukewarm water and an

interior cleaner, stain remover or appro-

priate cleaning fluid. Brush the fabric

afterwards to restore its appearance.

If the vehicle is to be stored for an

extended period, or if it is exposed to

intense sunlight, cover all the seats or

the windows to prevent fading.

Use the cleaning and car-care

products available at your BMW

center.<
