SKODA CITIGO 2014 1.G Owners Manual WARNINGIf, as an occupant, you have a subdued pain and/or temperature sensitivity,

WARNINGIf, as an occupant, you have a subdued pain and/or temperature sensitivity,
e.g. through medication, paralysis or because of chronic illness (e.g. diabe-
tes), we recommend you do not use seat heating on the driver or front pas-
senger seat. This can lead to burns on the back, the posterior and the legs
which are difficult to heal. If the seat heating is used, we recommend to
make regular breaks in your journey when driving long distances, so that
the body can recuperate from the stress of the journey. Please consult your
doctor, who can evaluate your specific condition.
CAUTION
■ Do not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply concentrated pressure to them.■The seat heating in the following cases will not turn on - there is a risk of
damaging the seat covers and seat heating. ■The seats are not occupied by people.
■ Items are fastened or stored items on the seats, such as a child seat, a bag
and the like.
■ Additional seat covers or protective covers are fixed to the seats.■
Clean the seat covers » page 102, Seat covers .
Note
If the on-board voltage drops, the seat heater switches off automatically, in or-
der to provide sufficient electrical energy for the engine control » page 116,

ized persons, such as children, for example, could lock the car, turn on the
ignition or start the engine - there is a danger of injury, accidents and dam-
age!

risk of accident, damage or theft!
■

your journey as soon as the engine has started. Through this, the engine rea-
ches its operating temperature faster.

pletely independent, e.g. children - there is a danger of poisoning!
■
Air fresheners and scents can be hazardous to heath when the tempera-
ture inside the vehicle is high.

■ Be sure to check clothing for colourfastness to avoid any damage or visible
stains on the material (leather), panels and textiles.■
Remove fresh stains such as those from ball-point pens, ink, lipstick, shoe
polish, etc., from the material (leather), panels and textiles as quickly as possi-
ble.
■
Do not attach scents or air fresheners to the dash panel – there is a risk of

Note
Due to the special tools and knowledge required, and to avoid any potential
problems with the cleaning and care of the interior of your vehicle, we recom-
mend that cleaning and care of the interior of your vehicle be carried out by a
ŠKODA service partner.
Natural leather
Read and observe
and on page 101 first.
The leather needs, depending on the strain placed on it, regular cleaning andmaintenance.
Dust and dirt in pores and creases cause abrasions on the surface and lead to
premature embrittlement of the leather surface. Therefore, they must be re-
moved regularly at short intervals with a cloth or vacuum cleaner.
Clean soiled leather surfaces with a water-dampened cotton or woollen cloth and then dry with a clean, dry cloth »
.
Clean severely soiled areas with a cloth soaked in a mild soap solution (2 ta-
blespoons of neutral soap to 1 litre of water).
To remove stains , use a cleaning agent specially designed for this purpose.
Treat the leather periodically with a suitable leather protector and use a skin
care cream with light blocker and impregnation after each cleaning. 
