General care
156
If floor carpets are more heavily soiled, use a
microfibre cloth and water or a textile cleaning
agent to clean them. In doing so, rub back and
forth in the direction of travel, as otherwise the
carpet can become tangled.
Interior plastic parts
These include:
>
Imitation leather surface finishes
>
Lamp lenses
>
Display covers
>
Matt parts
Clean with water and some solvent-free plastic
cleaner.
Do not use any solvents such as alcohol,
lacquer thinners, heavy-duty grease
removers, gasoline or similar; otherwise the sur-
faces could be damaged.
<
Decorative strips*
Clean decorative strips exclusively with a moist
cloth. Then rub dry with a soft cloth.
Seat belts
Dirt on the seat belts will prevent them from
being retracted properly and will therefore
impair safety.
Do not dry clean the seat belts, otherwise
the fabric may be destroyed.
<
Displays
For the cleaning of displays, such as radio or dis-
play elements, a cleaning cloth or a soft, non-
scratching, lint-free cloth.
Avoid applying excessive pressure when
cleaning displays, otherwise they could be
damaged. <
Do not use any chemical or abrasive
domestic cleaning agents. Keep all liquids
and any moisture away from the set. Surfaces or
electrical components might otherwise be cor-
roded or damaged.
<
CD/DVD drives
Do not use cleaning CDs, as these could
damage drive components.
<
Placing the vehicle in
storage
If you plan not to use your vehicle for longer
than three months, please consult your MINI
Service Centre or a workshop which works
according to the MINI manufacturer's specifica-
tions.
