Care Repairing paintwork damage Immediately repair scratches or similar damage, such as that caused by stones hitting the vehicle, where necessary to prevent rusting.< BMW recommends having paintwork damage repaired by a professional paint repair workshop according to BMW specifications using original BMW paint materials. Interior care Upholstery / cloth trim Vacuum regularly with a vacuum cleaner to remove superficial dirt. To treat severe stains, e.g. from beverages, use a soft sponge or lint-free microfiber cloth in combination with suitable interior cleaners. Follow the instructions on the packaging. 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.< Preservation A preservation treatment is necessary when water no longer beads off of the clean paintwork surface. Only use products for paintwork preservation that contain carnauba or synthetic waxes. Rubber seals Treat only with water or rubber care products. Do not use silicon-containing care products on rubber seals, otherwise noise and damage could occur.< Leather / leather trim The leather used by BMW is a high quality natural product. Slight irregularities in the leather are a typical characteristic of natural leather.< Dust and road grit in the pores and folds of the leather have an abrasive effect, leading to increased wear and causing the leather surface to become brittle prematurely. Therefore, frequently clean the leather of dust using a cloth or vacuum cleaner. In particular, ensure that light-colored leather is cleaned regularly as it has a tendency to soil more easily. Treat the leather twice a year using a leather lotion as dirt and grease will gradually attack the leather's protective layer. Chrome parts Carefully clean vehicle parts, such as the radiator grill, door handles or window frames, with copious quantities of water and a shampoo additive. For additional treatment, use a chrome polish. Light-alloy wheels For technical reasons, dust is generated during braking that is deposited on the light-alloy wheels. Remove the dust regularly using acidfree rim cleaner. Do not use aggressive, acidic, strongly alkaline and abrasive cleaning agents or steam jets over 1407/606, otherwise damage may occur.< Carpets / cargo bay You can vacuum the carpets and floor mats or clean them with interior cleaner if heavily soiled. The floor mats can be removed for cleaning. When replacing the mats, ensure that the seat rails do not extend over the floor mats, as this may damage the mats. Lint on the floor mats occurs for technical reasons and can be removed by vacuuming repeatedly. Outside sensors / cameras Keep the sensors and cameras on the outside of the vehicle, e.g. those of Park Distance Control, clean and free of ice to ensure that they remain fully functional.< 122 Online Edition for Part no. 01 41 2 600 853 - © 08/08 BMW AG
