Sensors on the outside of the vehicle, such as 
Park Distance Control sensors or radar sensors, 
should be kept clean and free of ice to retain 
their full function.

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.

Carpeting, floor mats, and luggage compart-
ment rugs and paneling can be cleaned with a 
vacuum or in the event of more serious soiling, 
cleansed with an interior cleaner.
Floor mats and luggage compartment rugs can 
be removed for cleaning. When inserting into 
place, make sure that the seat rails do not pro-
trude over the floor mats; otherwise 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.

Clean the glass cover of the instrument panel, 
imitation leather surfaces, lamp lenses, and 
matte components with water and, if necessary, 
a solvent-free plastic cleaner.

Use a damp cloth to clean fine wooden trim 
panels and components. Follow up by drying 
with a soft cloth.

Do not use cleansers to clean the safety 
belts since this can destroy the web-

bing.

<

Clean inside sensors such as those of the high-
beam assistant using a lint-free cloth moist-
ened with glass cleaner.

Clean displays like the radio or the Control Dis-
play using a display-cleaning cloth or a soft, 
nonabrasive lint-free cloth.

Avoid using excessive pressure when 
cleaning displays; otherwise, you could 

damage them.

<

Never use chemical-based cleansers or 
household scouring products. Keep all 

liquids away from the equipment. Otherwise
