ent paper or a towel.

CAUTION
Sharp objects, such as rings, could dam-
age the leather on the steering wheel.
Cleaning the seat belts
Clean only with lukewarm water and a mild
soap solution.
Cleaning floor mats
The floor mats should be vacuumed or
brushed clean regularly, especially during
winter when they should be taken out for dry-
ing. Spots on textile mats can be removed
with a mild detergent. For best protection in
winter, Volvo recommends the use of Volvo
rubber floor mats. Consult your Volvo retailer.
Spots on interior plastic, metal, or wood
surfaces
Cleaning interior plastic components should
be done with a cleaning agent specially
designed for this purpose. Consult your Volvo
retailer.
