struck by a detonating airbag and fired
through the vehicle interior. To reduce the
risks, please note the following:
●
Secure all objects in the vehicle. Always
place equipment and heavy objects in the
boot.
● Always secure objects to the fastening
rings with suitable rope or straps to prevent
them from being thrown around the interior
and moving to the airbag deployment area in
the event of sudden movements or accidents.
● While driving, always keep object compart-
ments closed.
● Do not place hard, heavy or sharp objects
inside the vehicle interior, in open storage
compartments, the rear shelf or on the dash
panel.
● Remove hard, heavy and sharp objects from
clothes and pockets inside the vehicle and
store securely. WARNING
The transport of heavy object changes vehi-
cle handling and increases braking distance.
Heavy loads that have not been stored or se-
cured correctly could cause loss of control
and result in serious injury.
● Vehicle handling changes when transport-
ing heavy objects due to a change in the cen-
tre of gravity.
● Distribute the load as uniformly and as low
down on the vehicle as possible. ●
Store heavy objects in the luggage com-
partment as far from the rear axle as possi-
ble. CAUTION
Hard objects on the rear shelf could chafe
against the wires of the heating element in
the heated rear window and cause damage. Note
The ventilating slits between the heated rear
window and the rear shelf must not be cov-
ered so that used air can escape from the ve-
hicle. Folding and lifting up the rear seat

the seat belts on the rear seats to work prop-
erly. When the backrest of an occupied seat is
not correctly locked in place, the passenger

Safety

Advice
●
Harmful vapours may be produced when us-
ing car care products. Therefore, care prod-
ucts should only be used in well-ventilated
spaces or in the open air.
● Never use fuel, turpentine, engine oil, ace-
tone or any other volatile liquid to wash,
clean or care for the vehicle. These are toxic
and highly flammable. WARNING
Inappropriate care and cleaning of vehicle
components may effect the vehicle safety
equipment, increasing the risk of severe in-
jury.
● Vehicle components should only be
cleaned and maintained in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
● Only use approved or recommended care
products. CAUTION
● Cleaning products which contain solvents
will damage the material.
● To avoid damage, stubborn stains should
be removed by a specialised workshop. Note
Suitable vehicle care products are available
from your technical service. Treating your upholstery
To treat and maintain your seat upholstery,
keep the following in mind
››› :
● Before entering the vehicle, close any Vel-
cro fasteners that might snag on the uphols-
tery or trim fabric. Any open Velcro fasteners
may damage the trim or upholstery fabrics.
● To prevent damage, avoid direct contact
between sharp decorative objects and the
upholstery and trim fabrics. Decorative ob-
jects include zips, rivets and rhinestones on
clothing and belts.
● From time to time, clean the dust that gath-
ers in the perforations, folds and seams so
that the surfaces of the seats are not dam-
aged by its abrasive effect.
● Make sure clothes are colour-fast to avoid
them running and staining the upholstery.
This is especially important if the upholstery
is light in colour. CAUTION
If the instructions for upholstery and trim
care are not followed, they may deteriorate
and discolour. Note
SEAT recommends you take the vehicle to a
Specialised workshop to treat any stains on
the upholstery caused by the discolouration
of clothing. Padding and fabric trim cleaning
Normal cleaning
●
Before applying cleaning products, please
read the instructions for handling and the
warnings shown on the container.
● The upholstery, textile covers, and carpet
should be regularly vacuumed (with vacuum
brush).
● We recommend that you use a soft sponge
or lint-free, micro-fibre cloth for normal clean-
ing ››› .
General superficial dirt on upholstery and
textile covers can be cleaned with a normal
foam cleaning product.
If the upholstery and the material trims are
very dirty, we recommend you have them
cleaned by a specialist cleaning form.
Cleaning stains
It may be necessary to clean the whole sur-
face and not only the stain itself. Especially if
the surface has been dirtied through normal
use. Otherwise, the stained area may be-
come lighter than the rest of the surface after
treatment.
