Mobility Care
Use BMW Premium Leather Care since dirt and
grease will otherwise slowly affect the protec-
tive layer of the leather.
Suitable care products are available at your
BMW center.
Upholstery care
Regularly vacuum with a vacuum cleaner.
To remove severe spots such as beverage
stains, use a soft sponge or lint-free microfiber
cloth and suitable interior cleaners.
Clean the upholstery down to the seams using a
sweeping motion. Avoid strong rubbing.
Opened Velcro fasteners on pants or
other articles of clothing can damage the
seat covers. Ensure that Velcro fasteners are
closed.<
Care of special parts
Light-alloy wheels
When cleaning on the vehicle, use only neutral
rim cleaner with a pH value of 5 to 9. Do not use
coarse cleansers and do not use steam clean-
ers at temperatures greater than 1407/606.
Follow manufacturer's instructions.
Aggressive, acid-containing, or strongly alka-
line cleaning agents can destroy the protective
coating of nearby components such as the
brake discs.
Chrome look surfaces
Carefully clean vehicle parts such as the radia-
tor grill or door handles with copious quantities
of water and possibly a shampoo additive, par-
ticularly when roads are treated with deicing
salt.
Rubber parts
Treat only with water or rubber care products.
Do not use silicon-containing care products on
rubber seals; otherwise, noise and damage
could occur.
Fine wood parts
Clean fine wood trim and fine wood parts only
with a damp cloth. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Plastic parts
These include:
> Imitation leather surfaces
> Roofliner
> Lamp glasses
> Display pane of instrument cluster
> Parts spray painted matte black
> Painted parts in the passenger
compartment
Use a microfibre cloth for cleaning.
Moisten the cloth slightly with water.
Do not soak the roofliner.
Do not use any cleaners that contain alco-
hol or solvents such as lacquer thinner,
cold cleaning agents, fuel, and the like; other-
wise, you may damage the surfaces.<
Safety belts
Dirty belt straps impede the reeling action and
thus have a negative impact on safety.
Do not clean chemically, as this may
destroy the webbing.<
Only clean with a mild soap solution in the
installed state.
Only reel in seat belts when they are dry.
Carpet and floor mats
Keep floor mats, carpet, and other objects
out of the movement range of the pedals;
otherwise, they may inhibit the function of the
pedals during driving.
Do not place additional floor mats onto an
existing one or onto other objects.
Only use floor mats that have been approved for
the vehicle and can be appropriately fastened.
Make sure that the floor mats are securely fas-
tened again after they have been removed, e.g.
for cleaning.<
