Care and maintenance
●
Harmfu l
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
c omponent s

may effect the vehicle safety
equipment, increasing the risk of severe in-
jury.
● Vehicle components should only be
cle
aned and maintained in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
● Only use approved or recommended care
products. CAUTION
● Cle

aning products which contain solvents
will damage the material.
● To avoid damage, stubborn stains should
be remov
ed by a specialised workshop. Note
Suitable vehicle care products are available
from y

our technical service. How to care for the upholstery
To treat and maintain your seat upholstery,
keep the f
o

llowing in mind ››› :
● Before entering the vehicle, close any Vel-
cr o f

asteners 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 dec
orative 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 per

forations, 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 s
taining the upholstery.
This is especially important if the upholstery
is light in colour. CAUTION
If the instructions for upholstery and trim
car e ar

e not followed, they may deteriorate
and discolour. Note
SEAT recommends you take the vehicle to a
Spec i

alised workshop to treat any stains on
the upholstery caused by the discolouration
of clothing. Cleaning padding and textile covers
Normal cleaning
● Before applying cleaning products, please
re a

d the instructions for handling and the
warnings shown on the container.
● The upholstery, textile covers, and carpet
should be r
egularly vacuumed (with vacuum
brush).
● We recommend that you use a soft sponge
or lint-free, mic
ro-fibre cloth for normal clean-
ing ››› .
Gener al
s

uperficial 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. »
