Cleaning the interior

Treating stains on fabric upholstery

A special cleaning agent, available from Volvo

dealers, is recommended for cleaning the fab-

ric upholstery. Other chemicals can impair the

fire retardant qualities of the upholstery.

IMPORTANT

Sharp objects and Velcro may damage the

fabric upholstery.

Treating stains on leather upholstery

Volvo leather upholstery is chromium-free and

approved in accordance with the Oeko-

Tex 100 standard.

The leather is refined and processed so that it

retains its natural characteristics. It is given a

protective coating, but regular cleaning is

required in order to maintain both characteris-

tics and appearance. Volvo offers a compre-

hensive product for the cleaning and treatment

of leather upholstery which, when used in

accordance with the instructions, preserves

the leather's protective coating.

After a period of use the natural appearance of

the leather will nevertheless emerge, depend-

ing more or less on the surface texture of the

leather. This is a natural maturing of the leather

and shows that it is a natural product.

To achieve best results Volvo recommends

cleaning and application of the protective

cream once to four times per year (or more if

required). Ask a Volvo dealer about Volvo's

Leather care product.

IMPORTANT

Never use strong solvents. Such products

may damage fabric, vinyl and leather

upholstery.

IMPORTANT

Note that materials with colour that runs

when dry (new jeans, suede garments etc.)

may discolour the upholstery material.

Washing instructions for leather

upholstery

1. Pour the leather cleaner on the dampened

sponge and squeeze out a strong foam.

2. Work the dirt away with gentle circular

movements.

3. Dab accurately with the sponge on the

stains. Allow the sponge to absorb the

stain. Do not rub.

4. Wipe off with soft paper or a cloth and

allow the leather to dry completely.

Protective treatment of leather

upholstery

1. Pour a small amount of the protective

cream on the felted cloth and massage in

a thin layer of cream with gentle circular

movements on the leather.

2. Allow the leather to dry for 20 minutes

before use.

The leather has now been given improved pro-

tection against stains and improved UV pro-

tection.

Treating stains on interior plastic, metal

and wood parts

A special cleaning agent, available from Volvo

dealers, is recommended for cleaning interior

parts and surfaces. Do not scrape or rub stains.

Never use strong stain removers.

Cleaning seatbelts

Use water and a synthetic detergent. A special

textile cleaning agent is available from your

Volvo dealer. Make sure the seatbelt is dry

before allowing it to retract.
