Lake piston sealing cups or the discs

SFraying with substances with an oil
eÉse does not offer any long-term pro-
ic±ion against rust, but instead damages
LDber components under the car and
iids to loosen and dislodge the existing
ir c]erseal coati ng.
Chomium plated and polished parts
sriould be cleaned with water or soapy
®a:er.
Tar stains must be removed as soon as
]ossible with a commercially available
2. remover; do not use a hard object or a
r ife.
Rubber parts should be cleaned only
•ith water, but can also be treated with
glycerine.
To clean the inslde rindows we recom-
Ttend water and vinegar mixed in equal
#rt§.
Clean the vriper blades with soapy water.
The blades should be renewed at least
cmce a year.
Stains and spots on cloth upholstery are
oest treated with a proprietary stain re-
mover, but the product should not be
aJlowed to come into contact with
]eatherette or real leather.
Rub down artificlal leather (leatherette)
and real leather with a damp cloth, and
vripedryimmediately.
Clean seat belt straps while installed in
the car only with a dilute soap and water
solution. Chemical or dry cleaning may
destroy the fabric.
Automatic inertia-lock seat belts should
never be allowed to wind up whjle still
damp. Dirt on the straps will interfere
with the action of the reel and thus could
affect safety.
The documents handed over with your
new car will include a Service Booklet,
made out in your name and including
details of your car. Your BMW dealer will
have already performed the free pre-
delivery check and detached the relevant
section from the booklet. An entry in the
Service Booklet confirms that the work
has been carried out. A similar procedure
will be adopted when it is time for the first
BMW lnspection (to be invoiced) after
1000 km (app. 600 miles).
ln addition, your BMW dealer will attach
the first adhesive label to the driver's
door post, as a reminder that the next
BMW Oil Service (with optional BMW
Safety Check) is due after the distance
shown on the label has been covered.
Confirmation of this and all subsequent
BMW 0il Services and lnspections will be
entered in the appropriate sections of the
Service Booklet.
Please ensure that the entries are actual ly
made at the time, as they are essential if
claims under warranty become neces-
sary, or as later evidence that your car
was regularly maintained.
We recommend you to have the specified
maintenance work and safety checks
performed regularly by a BMW autho-
rized service station. This is the only way
to ensure that all work is executed in
accordance with the latest factory in-
structions. A list of BMW dealers is
supplied with the car's documents, so
that you can obtain the necessary facili-
ties from the worldwjde BMW dealership
network wherever you happen to be.
ln the interests of your car's reliability
and useful working life, we recommend
having ait least two BMW lnspectjons
performed per year, even Ìf the car has
not covered the normal distance speci-
fied between maintenance operations.
