▷ Painted parts in the interior. Clean with a microfiber cloth. Lightly dampen the cloth with water. Do not soak the headliner.


Do not use cleansers that contain alcohol or solvents


Do not use cleansers that contain alcohol or sol‐ vents, such as lacquer thinners, heavy-duty grease removers, fuel, or such; this could lead to surface damage.◀


Safety belts Dirty belt straps impede the reeling action and thus have a negative impact on safety.


Chemical cleaning Do not clean chemically; this can destroy


the webbing.◀ Use only a mild soapy solution, with the safety belts clipped into their buckles. Do not allow the reels to retract the safety belts until they are dry. Carpets and floor mats


No objects in the area around the pedals Keep floor mats, carpets, and any other objects out of the area of motion of the pedals; otherwise, the function of the pedals could be impeded while driving

Care


Do not place additional floor mats over existing mats or other objects. Only use floor mats that have been approved for the vehicle and can be properly fixed in place. Ensure that the floor mats are securely fastened again after they were removed for cleaning, for example.◀ Floor mats can be removed from the passenger compartment for cleaning. If the floor carpets are very dirty, clean with a microfiber cloth and water or a textile cleaner. To prevent matting of the carpet, rub back and forth in the direction of travel only. Sensors/cameras To clean sensors and cameras, use a cloth mois‐ tened with a small amount of glass cleaner. Displays/screens Clean the displays with an antistatic microfiber cloth.


Cleaning displays Do not use chemical or household cleans‐


ers. Keep all fluids and moisture away from the unit. Otherwise, they could affect or damage surfa‐ ces or electrical components. Avoid pressing too hard when cleaning and do not use abrasive materials; otherwise, damage can result.◀


Long-term vehicle storage Your service center can advise you on what to consider when storing the vehicle for longer than three months.

For your own safety Maintenance and repairs Advanced technology, e.g., the use of modern materials and high-performance electronics, re‐ quires suitable maintenance and repair meth‐ ods. Therefore, have this work performed only by a BMW center or a workshop that works accord‐ ing to BMW repair procedures with appropri‐ ately trained personnel. If this work is not carried out properly, there is the danger of subsequent damage and related safety hazards. Parts and Accessories For your own safety, use genuine parts and ac‐ cessories approved by BMW. When you pur‐ chase accessories tested and approved by BMW and Genuine BMW Parts, you simultane‐ ously acquire the assurance that they have been thoroughly tested by BMW to ensure optimum performance when installed on your vehicle. BMW warrants these parts to be free from de‐ fects in material and workmanship. BMW will not accept any liability for damage resulting from in‐ stallation of parts and accessories not approved by BMW. BMW cannot test every product made by other manufacturers to verify if it can be used on a BMW safely and without risk to either the vehicle, its operation, or its occupants. Genuine BMW Parts, BMW Accessories and other prod‐ ucts approved by BMW, together with profes‐ sional advice on using these items, are available from all BMW centers.
