Outside sensors/cameras<br />
Make sure that sensors and cameras outside<br />
the vehicle, e.g. Park Distance Control,<br />

clean and free of ice in order to assure full functionality.<<br />
Interior care<br />
Upholstery materials/cloth-covered<br />
paneling<br />
Clean regularly with a vacuum cleaner in order<br />
to remove surface dirt.<br />
In the event of more serious soiling such as beverage<br />
stains, use a soft sponge or a lint-free<br />
microfiber cloth in combination with suitable<br />
interior cleaners. Follow the instructions on the<br />
packaging.<br />
Clean upholstery material over a large<br />
area extending out to the seams. Avoid<br />
intense friction.<<br />

items of clothing can cause damage to<br />
the seat covering. Make sure that the Velcro<br />
fasteners are closed.<<br />
Leather/leather-covered paneling<br />
The leather used by <strong>BMW</strong> is a high quality<br />
natural product. Slight patterns in the<br />
grain are part of the typical properties of a natural<br />
leather.<<br />
Dust and dirt from the road chafe in pores and<br />
folds and result in considerable wear and cause<br />
the leather surface to become prematurely brittle.<br />
We there<strong>for</strong>e suggest that you clean the<br />
leather with a dust cloth or vacuum cleaner at<br />
regular intervals.<br />
<strong>Part</strong>icularly with light-colored leather, make<br />
sure to clean it regularly since it has a greater<br />
tendency to become soiled.<br />
Treat the leather twice a year with a leather<br />
lotion since dirt and grease harm the protective<br />
layer of the leather.<br />

Floor mats can be removed <strong>for</strong> cleaning.<br />
If the carpets are very dirty, clean with a microfiber<br />
cloth and water or an interior cleaner. To<br />

<strong>for</strong>th in the direction of travel only.<br />

solvent-free plastic cleaner.<br />
Fine wooden components<br />
Use a damp cloth to clean fine wooden trim<br />
panels and components. Follow up by drying<br />
with a soft cloth.<br />
Safety belts<br />
Soiled seatbelt straps hinder the reeling, thus<br />
reducing safety.<br />
Do <strong>no</strong>t use chemical cleansers as they<br />
can destroy the webbing.<<br />

those of the high-beam assistant, using a lintfree<br />
