Cleaning Interior Plastic, Metal And; Cleaning The Exterior - Volvo XC40 Owner's Manual

Cleaning interior plastic, metal and

wood parts
Only use cleaning agents and car care products
recommended by Volvo. Clean regularly and
treat stains at once for best results.
Interior plastic, metal and wood parts
A fibrillated fibre or microfibre cloth, lightly mois-
tened with water, available from Volvo retailers, is
recommended for cleaning interior parts and sur-
faces.
Do not scrape or rub stains. Never use strong
stain removers.
IMPORTANT
Do not use solvent that contains alcohol
when cleaning the glass for the driver display.
IMPORTANT
Keep in mind that high gloss surfaces are
easily scratched. Clean these surfaces with a
clean, dry microfibre cloth using small, circular
motions. If needed, dampen the microfibre
cloth with a little clean water.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Cleaning the exterior

The car should be washed as soon as it
becomes dirty. This means that the car is easier
to clean since the dirt does not attach as firmly.
It also reduces the risk of scratches and keeps
the car fresh. Wash the car in a car wash with oil
separator. Use car shampoo.
