MOBILITY Care

210

Preservation

Preservation is necessary when water no longer

beads on the clean paint surface. To preserve

the paint, only use preservatives that contain

carnauba or synthetic waxes.

Rubber seals

Only treat with water or rubber care products.

Do not use silicon sprays or other silicon-

containing care products on rubber seals;

otherwise, noise and damage could occur.<

Chrome parts

Carefully clean vehicle parts such as the radiator

grill and door handles with copious quantities of

water and, if necessary, a shampoo additive,

especially when contaminated with road salt.

For additional treatment, use chrome polish.

Light alloy wheels

The system produces brake dust that collects on

the light alloy wheels. Clean them regularly with

acid-free wheel cleaner.

Do not use aggressive, acid-containing,

highly alkaline, or abrasive cleansers or

steam jets hotter than 1407/606 as they may

cause damage.<

External sensors

Keep the outside sensors on the vehicle

such as the Park Distance Control clean

and ice-free to ensure that they function prop-

erly.<

Internal care

Upholstery/fabrics

Regularly use a vacuum cleaner to remove sur-

face dirt.

In case of serious spots such as liquid stains, use

a soft sponge or lint-free microfiber cloth and

suitable interior cleaners. Observe the instruc-

tions on the packaging.

Clean upholstery up to the seams. Do not

rub forcefully.<

Velcro fasteners on pants or other items of

clothing can damage seat covers. Make

sure that all Velcro fasteners are closed.<

Leather/leather coverings

The leather processed by the manufac-

turer of your MINI is a high-quality natural

product. Light variations in the grain is one of

the typical properties 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. Use a cloth or

vacuum cleaner to remove dust on a regular

basis.

Especially when the leather has a light color, it

should be cleaned regularly since it tends to get

heavily soiled.

Treat the leather twice a year using a leather

lotion since dirt and grease will gradually attack

the leather's protective layer.

Carpets/floor mats

Keep floor mats, carpet, and other objects

out of the movement range of the pedals;

otherwise, they may inhibit the function of the

pedals during driving.

Do not place additional floor mats onto an exist-

ing one or onto other objects.

Only use floor mats that have been approved for

the vehicle and can be appropriately fastened.

Make sure that the floor mats are securely fas-

tened again after they have been removed, e.g.

for cleaning.<

Floor mats can be removed to be cleaned.

If the carpets are very dirty, clean with a microfi-

ber cloth and water or an interior cleaner. When

doing so, rub forward and back in the driving

direction; otherwise, the carpet may become

matted.
