Cleaning instructions
! Do not touch the COMAND display. The
display has a very sensitive high-gloss sur-
face; there is a risk of scratching. If you
have to clean the screen, however, use a
mild cleaning agent and a soft, lint-free
cloth.
The display must be switched off and have
cooled down before you start cleaning. Clean
the display screen, when necessary, with a
commercially available microfibre cloth and
cleaning agent for TFT/LCD displays. Do not
apply pressure to the display surface when
cleaning it, as this could cause irreversible
damage. Then dry the surface with a dry
microfibre cloth.
Avoid using alcoholic thinners, petrol or abra- sive cleaning agents. These could damage the
display surface. At a glance
