with shampoo added to it. For additional treat-
ment, use chrome polish.

Depending on your system, braking can gener-
ate dust, which settles on the light-alloy wheels. 
Remove this dust regularly with acid-free wheel 
cleaner.

Do not use aggressive, acid-containing, 
strongly alkaline, or coarse cleansers and 

do not use steam cleaners at temperatures 
greater than 140

7/606; otherwise you may 

damage your vehicle.

A rust film on the aluminum running boards can 
be removed with a special cleaning agent.

Keep the sensors and cameras outside 
the vehicle, e.g. the Park Distance Control 

or rear view camera, clean and free of ice to 
ensure their full operability.

<

Clean regularly with a vacuum cleaner in order 
to remove surface dirt.
In the event of more serious soiling such as bev-
erage stains, use a soft sponge or a lint-free 
microfiber cloth in combination with suitable 
interior cleaners. Follow the instructions on the 
packaging.

Clean upholstery material over a large 
area extending out to the seams. Avoid 

intense friction.

<

Open Velcro fasteners on pants or other 
items of clothing can cause damage to 

the seat covering. Make sure that the Velcro 
fasteners are closed.

<

The leather used by BMW is a high quality 
natural product. Slight patterns in the 

grain are part of the typical properties of a natu-
ral leather.

<

Dust and dirt from the road chafe in pores and 
folds and result in considerable wear and cause 
the leather surface to become prematurely brit-
tle. We therefore suggest that you clean the 
leather with a dust cloth or vacuum cleaner at 
regular intervals.
Particularly with light-colored leather, make 
sure to clean it regularly since it has a greater 
tendency to become soiled.
Treat the leather twice a year with a leather 
lotion since dirt and grease harm the protective 
layer of the leather.

Floor carpets and floor mats can be vacuumed 
or cleaned with interior cleaner when they are 
more heavily soiled.
Floor mats can be removed for cleaning. When 
inserting into place, make sure that the seat 
rails do not protrude over the floor mats; other-
wise floor mats can be damaged.
Fluff on new floor mats is a result of the produc-
tion process and can be removed by repeated 
vacuuming.
