Caring for your vehicle

The buildup of an electrostatic charge

on the seat covers, particularly if atmo-

spheric humidity is low, can give the

occupants an unpleasant electric shock

if they touch metal body parts after leav-

ing the vehicle. Although this not dan-

gerous in any way, it can be avoided by

touching a bare or polished metal part

of the vehicle while getting out.

Leather care

The leather upholstery* used by BMW

is a natural product of the highest qual-

ity, processed using state-of-the-art

methods to ensure that it will maintain

its high quality for years to come, pro-

vided that it is properly cared for.

Because this product is manufactured

using natural materials, you must make

allowance for its special characteristics

and for the peculiarities of its use

and care.

Regular periodic cleaning and care are

essential, as dust and road dirt act as

abrasives in the pores and creases of

the material. This leads to wear spots

and premature brittleness on the sur-

face of the leather. We therefore sug-

gest that you clean the leather with a

vacuum cleaner or cloth at frequent

intervals.

For cleaning, use BMW leather

cleaning foam.

Since dirt and grease gradually attack

the protective layer of the leather, the

cleaned surfaces should be treated

with BMW leather care agent. This also

acts as an antistatic agent.

For protection against dampness or

moisture, treat the leather with an im-

pregnating agent made by BMW.

We recommend that you perform this

procedure twice a year on leather

exposed to normal use.

Spills should be wiped up immediately.

Remove grease and oil stains by dab-

bing with spot remover. Avoid rubbing.

If the upholstery is to be exposed to in-

tense sunlight or if the vehicle is to be

stored for an extended period, cover all

leather surfaces (or, better yet, the win-

dows) to prevent fading.

Use the cleaning and car-care

products available at your BMW

center.<

Cleaning agents can contain sub-

stances that are dangerous or

pose health risks. For this reason,

always comply with the warnings and

danger labels on the packaging.

When cleaning the vehicle's interior,

open the doors or windows (if the con-

vertible top has been closed). Never

clean your vehicle with solvents or

other materials not specifically in-

tended for this purpose.<
