DISINFECTING
Once the surfaces have been cleaned, in order to eliminate viruses effectively you
need to use a disinfectant solution or disinfectant wipe with an alcohol solution
of 70% or more. Wipe the surface thoroughly so that the surface stays visibly wet
for a minimum of one to four minutes. Again, pay special attention to areas that
are touched frequently with your hands (door handles and controls, keys or start
button, steering wheel, gear shift, seats, buttons and knobs on your dash, sun visor,
console, cup holders etc.).
NOTE: It is not recommended to use harsh household disinfectants on vehicle
surfaces, especially ones that contain any concentration of bleach, or hydrogen
peroxide as these can cause irreversible damage to the vehicles interior or
exterior surface. To avoid any negative effects disinfectants may have on materials in the vehicle, it
is recommended that any disinfectant product is cleaned off with a microfiber cloth
or soft, disposable, paper-cleaning product using a BMW Group Car Care product
or similar commercial products intended for use on vehicle interior and exterior
surfaces. Most car leathers and imitation leathers have urethane coatings for
protection, which is safe to clean with alcohol.
