Care Car washes Notes
Steam jets or high-pressure washers When using steam jets or high-pressure washers, hold them a sufficient distance away and use a maximum temperature of 140 ℉/ 60 ℃. Holding them too close or using excessively high pressures or temperatures can cause dam‐ age or preliminary damage that may then lead to long-term damage. Follow the operating instructions for the high- pressure washer.◀
Cleaning sensors/cameras with high- pressure washers
When using high-pressure washers, do not spray the exterior sensors and cameras, for Park Distance Control* or the backup camera*, for instance, for extended periods of time and only from a distance of at least 12 in/30 cm.◀ Wash your vehicle frequently, particularly in win‐ ter. Intense soiling and road salt can damage the ve‐ hicle. Washing in automatic car washes Your vehicle can be washed in automatic car washes right from the start. Give preference to cloth car washes or those that use soft brushes in order to avoid paint damage. Notes Note the following: ▷ Make sure that the wheels and tires are not
damaged by the transport mechanisms.
▷ Fold in the exterior mirrors; otherwise, they may be damaged, depending on the width of the vehicle.
▷ Deactivate rain sensor, refer to page 67, to
prevent unintentional wiper action.
▷ BMW X5: deactivate the rear window wiper
and protect it from damage. Ask the car wash operator about any necessary protec‐ tive measures.
▷ Remove additional attachments, for in‐ stance a spoiler or telephone antenna, if there is a risk that these may be damaged.
Guide rails in car washes Avoid car washes with guide rails higher than 4 in/10 cm; otherwise, the vehicle body could be damaged.◀
Before driving into a car wash The vehicle is able to roll if the following steps are taken. 1.
Insert the remote control into the ignition lock, even with Comfort Access. 2. Engage transmission position N. 3. Release the parking brake. 4. Deactivating Automatic Hold, refer to
page 64.
5. Switch the engine off. 6. Leave the remote control in the ignition lock
so that the vehicle can roll.
Mixed tires*
Note the vehicle width Before driving into a car wash, make sure that the vehicle width is not too large for the car wash, as otherwise the vehicle and the car wash could be damaged.◀
Headlamps ▷ Do not rub dry and do not use abrasive or
caustic cleansers.
▷ Soak areas that have been soiled e.g. due to
insects, with shampoo and wash off with water.

▷ Thaw ice with de-icing spray; do not use an
ice scraper.
After washing the vehicle After washing the vehicle, apply the brakes briefly to dry them; otherwise, braking action can be reduced and corrosion of the brake discs can occur.
Vehicle care Car care products BMW recommends using cleaning and care products from BMW, since these have been tested and approved.
Car care and cleaning products Follow the instructions on the container. When cleaning the interior, open the doors or windows. Only use products intended for cleaning vehi‐ cles. Cleansers can contain substances that are dan‐ gerous and harmful to your health.◀
Vehicle paint Regular care contributes to driving safety and value retention. Environmental influences can act on the vehicle paint. Tailor the frequency and extent of your car care to these influences. Leather care Remove dust from the leather often, using a cloth or vacuum cleaner. Otherwise, particles of dust and road grime chafe in pores and folds, and lead to increased wear and premature degradation of the leather surface. To guard against discoloration, such as from clothing, provide leather care roughly every two months. Clean light-colored leather more frequently as dust and dirt are more noticeable.
Use leather care products; otherwise, dirt and grease will gradually break down the protective layer of the leather surface. Suitable care products are available from the service center. Upholstery material care Vacuum regularly with a vacuum cleaner. If they are very dirty, e.g., beverage stains, use a soft sponge or microfiber cloth with a suitable interior cleaner. Clean the upholstery down to the seams using large sweeping motions. Avoid rubbing the ma‐ terial vigorously.
Damage from Velcro® fasteners Open Velcro® fasteners on pants or other articles of clothing can damage the seat covers. Ensure that any Velcro® fasteners are closed.◀
Caring for special components Light-alloy wheels Use wheel cleaner, particularly during the winter months. Do not use aggressive, acidic, strongly alkaline or abrasive cleaners, or steam jets above 140 ℉/60 ℃; follow the manufacturer's instructions. Chrome surfaces* Carefully clean components such as the radiator grille or door handles with an ample supply of water, possibly with shampoo added, particu‐ larly when they have been exposed to road salt. Aluminum running boards* A rust film on the aluminum running boards can be removed with a special cleaning agent. Rubber components Aside from water, treat only with rubber cleans‐ ers. When cleaning rubber seals, do not use any sil‐ icon-containing car care products in order to avoid damage or reduced noise damping.

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 when they are returned after being re‐ moved, such as for cleaning.◀ Floor mats can be removed from the passenger compartment for cleaning. When returning the floor mats, secure them again to prevent slipping. 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 or cameras, use a cloth mois‐ tened with a small amount of glass cleaner. Displays/screens Use a microfiber cloth to clean the Control Dis‐ play or instrument cluster, for example.
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.
Fine wood parts* Clean fine wood facing and fine wood compo‐ nents only with a moist rag. Then dry with a soft cloth. Plastic components These include: ▷ Imitation leather surfaces. ▷ Headliner. ▷ Lamp lenses. ▷ Instrument cluster cover. ▷ Matte black spray-coated components. Clean with a microfiber cloth. Moisten the cloth lightly and use plastic cleanser, if necessary. 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.
No 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 Do not place additional floor mats over existing mats or other objects.
