Cleaning the Interior
Cleaning the Interior
General cleaning
WARNING: Exposure to chemicals in some cleaners can be hazardous and can irritate eyes and skin. Always read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using cleaning products.
WARNING: Do not splash or spill liquids in the vehicle, as this could cause an electrical component to malfunction or catch fire. Any spills should be immediately wiped up using a clean, dry cloth.
CAUTION: Do not apply cleaning products directly to the surface being cleaned. Ingress of cleaning products into components may cause damage or impair their function.
CAUTION: Avoid using solvents (including alcohol), bleach, citrus, naphtha, or silicone-based products or additives on interior components, as these can damage the appearance of the material.
To maintain the look and appearance of the interior of your vehicle, you should inspect and clean the interior frequently.
For general cleaning, it is recommended that materials and surfaces should be cleaned using a non-solvent based cleaning (wet) wipe, and dried with a microfiber cloth.
If possible, try to wipe up spillages and clean marks as soon as they happen. This reduces the need for more extensive cleaning in the future.
Note: It is advisable that you test all cleaners on a concealed area before use.
Interior glass and mirrors
CAUTION: Do not scrape surfaces or use abrasive cleansers or cloths, as this could cause damage to some surfaces (such as the heating elements).
Use an alcohol-based commercial glass cleaner and a soft cloth (such as microfiber) to clean any glass or mirrored surfaces.
Displays
WARNING: Do not use polish or wax cleaners on the display screens. Polished surfaces are reflective and may interfere with the driver's view, resulting in a collision.
CAUTION: Do not use statically-charged materials (such as a cloth that was recently machine-washed and dried) on the displays.
CAUTION: Do not use cleansers (such as glass cleaner) to clean displays.
Display screens should only be cleaned using a soft, lint-free cloth designed for cleaning screens and monitors.
Airbags
WARNING: Airbag covers should only be cleaned using a slightly dampened cloth or cleaning wipe. The ingress of water or any other liquid into an airbag or its associated electrical wiring may cause the airbags to deploy or not function properly in a collision.
WARNING: Any damage or cracks on an airbag cover should be referred to Fisker for inspection.
Seats
WARNING: Never use steam or upholstery cleaners on the seats, or any cleaning method that would saturate the seat with liquid. This can damage the occupancy weight sensor in the seat, which in turn can affect the operation of the airbag system and result in serious injury or death.
-
To clean, use a soft, colorless cloth moistened only with warm water. Do not use polishes, oils, cleaning fluids, solvents, or detergents.
-
Avoid vacuuming. Instead, use your moistened cleaning cloth to gently remove any loose particles.
-
Application of a leather conditioner is not necessary to maintain the original condition of the seats.
For FeelTek® and Alcantara® seats:
Seat belts
WARNING: Never allow any substance to enter a seat belt mechanism, as this can negatively affect its performance in an impact.
Extend the seat belt and clean using a cloth moistened only with water. Do not use any type of detergent or chemical cleaning agent. Allow the belts to air dry while extended, away from direct sunlight if possible.
Chrome and metal surfaces
Do not use abrasive cleansers, rough cloths, or polish, as these materials can damage the finish of these surfaces.
Plastic materials
WARNING: Do not use polish or wax cleaner on the upper surfaces of the dashboard. Polished surfaces are reflective and may interfere with the driver's view, resulting in a collision.
You should clean heavily-soiled plastic surfaces using warm water and a non-detergent soap, then wipe clean with a soft cloth.
Carpets and floor mats
Vacuum the carpets and mats thoroughly before cleaning to remove excess dirt and debris.
Avoid over-wetting the carpets. A diluted upholstery cleaner can be used on heavily soiled areas.
Remove floor mats before cleaning to ensure that they dry properly afterwards. Clean using a microfiber cloth and water or a mild textile cleanser. Spot-test any cleansers first to ensure they will not leave stains. Dry the mat thoroughly before reinstalling.
