· Do not polish or wax your car in direct sunlight (the surface of the car should not be warmer than 113°
F (45° C).
Cleaning the upholstery
· The fabric can be cleaned with soapy water or a detergent. For more difficult spots caused by oil, ice
cream, shoe polish, grease, etc., use a clothing/fabric stain remover.
· The plastic in the upholstery can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild soap solution.
· Leather upholstery/suede-like upholstery (alcantera™) can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild
soap solution. For more difficult spots, Volvo offers a leather care kit.
· On no account must gasoline, naphtha or similar cleaning agents be used on the plastic or the
leather since these can cause damage.
Cleaning the seat belts
Clean only with lukewarm water and mild soap solution.
Cleaning floor mats
The floor mats should be vacuumed or brushed clean regularly, especially during winter when they
should be taken out for drying. Spots on textile mats can be removed with a mild detergent.
Bear in mind
· Take extra care when removing stains such as ink or lipstick since the coloring can spread.
· Use solvents sparingly. Too much solvent can damage the seat padding.
· Start from the outside of the stain and work toward the center.
