Cleaning the interior
Only use cleaning agents and car care prod-
ucts recommended by Volvo. Clean regularly
and treat stains at once for best results. Vac-
uuming is important prior to using cleaning
agents.
IMPORTANT
•
Certain items of coloured clothing (e.g.
dark jeans and suede garments) may
stain the upholstery. If this occurs, it is
important to clean and treat these
parts of the upholstery as soon as
possible.
•
Never use strong solvents such as
washer fluid, pure petrol or white spirit
to clean the interior, since this may
damage the upholstery as well as
other interior materials.
•
Never spray the cleaning agent directly
onto components that have electrical
buttons and controls. Wipe them
instead using a moistened cloth con-
taining the cleaning agent.
•
Sharp objects and Velcro may damage
the fabric upholstery.
Fabric upholstery and ceiling upholstery
Volvo offers a comprehensive fabric care
product for fabric upholstery and ceiling
upholstery which, when used in accordance
with the instructions, preserves the properties
of the upholstery. The fabric care product is
available at your Volvo dealer.
Leather upholstery
Volvo's leather upholstery is treated to pre-
serve its original appearance.
Leather upholstery is a natural product that
changes and acquires a beautiful patina over
time. Regular cleaning and treatment are
required in order that the properties and col-
ours of the leather shall be preserved. Volvo
offers a comprehensive product, Volvo
Leather Care Kit/Wipes, for the cleaning and
treatment of leather upholstery which, when
used in accordance with the instructions, pre-
serves the leather's protective coating.
To achieve best results, Volvo recommends
the cleaning and application of the protective
cream once to four times per year (or more if
required). The Volvo Leather Care Kit/Wipes
is available from your Volvo dealer.
Leather steering wheel
Leather needs to breathe. Never cover the
leather steering wheel with protective plastic.
Volvo Leather Care Kit/Wipes is recom-
mended for cleaning the leather steering
wheel.
Interior plastic, metal and wood parts
A fibrillated fibre or microfibre cloth, lightly
moistened with water, available from Volvo
dealers, is recommended for cleaning interior
parts and surfaces.
Do not scrape or rub stains. Never use strong
stain removers. A special cleaning agent
available from Volvo dealers can be used for
more difficult cleaning.
Seatbelts
Use water and a synthetic detergent. A spe-
cial textile cleaning agent is available from
your Volvo dealer. Ensure that the seatbelt is
dry before allowing it to retract.
Inlay mats and floor mat
Remove inlaid carpets for separate cleaning
of the floor carpet and the inlaid carpets. Use
a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and dirt.
Each inlay mat is secured with pins.
Remove the inlay mat by taking hold of the
inlay mat at each pin and lifting the mat
straight up.
Fit the inlay mat in place by pressing it in at
each pin.
WARNING
Only use one inlaid mat at each seat, and
check before setting off that the mat by
the driver's seat is firmly affixed and
secured in the pins so that it does not get
caught adjacent to and under the pedals.
A special textile cleaner is recommended for
stains on the floor mat after vacuuming. Floor
mats should be cleaned with agents recom-
mended by your Volvo dealer.
