when the cleaning solution when cleaning the
display.
The
MMI* controls must be cleaned first with
a brush so that dirt does not enter the unit or
enter between the buttons and the housing.
Then wiping the controls with a cloth damp-
ened with dish detergent and water is recom-
mended.

shou ld never clean it dry.
- To prevent damage, make sure fluids do
not enter the controls.

Fabrics and fabric coverings
Fabrics and fabric coverings (e.g. seats, doo r
trim panels, etc.) should be cleaned at regular
interva ls with a vacuum cleaner. This removes
surface dirt particles which could become em-
bedded in the fabr ic through use. Steam
cleaners should not be used, because the
steam tends to push the dirt deeper into the
fabr ic and lock it there .
Normal cleaning
Generally, we recommend using a soft sponge
or a lint-free microfiber cloth to the clean fab-
ric. Brushes shou ld only be used for carpets
and floor mats, since other fabric surfaces
could be harmed by brushes.
Normal surface stains can be cleaned using a
commercially availab le foam cleaner . Spread
the foam on the surface of the fabric with a
soft sponge and work it in gently. Do not satu-
rate the fabric. Then pat the foam dry using
absorbent, dry cloths (e.g. m icrofiber cloth)
and vacuum it after it has dried completely.
Cleaning stains
Stains caused by beverages (e.g. coffee, fruit
juice, etc.) can be treated with a mild deter-
gent solution. Apply the detergent solution
with a sponge. In the case of stubborn stains,
a detergent paste can be applied directly to
the stain and worked into the fabric. After-
wards, use copious amounts of clean water to
remove the remaining deterge nt . Apply the
water with a damp doth or sponge and pat
the fabric dry with an absorbent, dry cloth .
Stains from chocolate or makeup should have
detergent paste rubbed into them . After-
wards, remove the soap with water (damp
sponge).
Alcohol can be used to treat sta ins from
grease, oil, lipstick or a ballpoint pen . Melted
grease or dye must be patted off using ab-
sorbent material.
It may be necessary to re-
treat the areas with detergent paste and wa-
ter.
In the case of gene ral soiling of the upho ls-
tery and cover material, we recommend hiring
a specia list that has the equipment to clean
the seat covers and other fabr ic surfaces by
shampooing and spray extraction.
