When cleaning the interior, to ensure everything is hygienically cleaned, it is advisable to remove the air vents for a thorough and accurate clean. To remove the vents, use a plastic spatula to pry around the trim frame and detach the vents from their housing without damaging the trim or the dashboard edge.

For the central air vents, first, remove the radio and climate control by taking off the trims and the corresponding fixing screws.
