Caring for leather
NOTICE
The leather may become damaged by the use of
unsuitable cleaning agents and care products, and
by inappropriate treatment.
e Do not use aggressive cleaners or hard cleaning
objects.
e Ensure that perforated leather does not get wet
on the reverse side.
e Remove water drops from the leather
immediately.
To ensure proper cleaning and care of your vehicle,
please observe the following:
e Clean all types of leather regularly to remove fine
dust using a soft, damp, white woollen cloth or a
commercially available microfibre cloth.
e Remove heavy soiling (not water or moisture
stains) with a leather cleaning agent. Read the
instructions for use on the containers.
Porsche recommends car care products from
Porsche Tequipment.
e Treat cleaned leather only with a leather care
product.
Cleaning seats with seat ventilation
Stains resulting from rainwater or moisture may oc-
cur on the perforated leather of the seats.
Removing water and moisture stains
b b Seat heating and seat ventilation is switched off.
b b No direct sunlight.
1. Dab the entire seat and backrest surface using a
clean, fine-pored sponge and distilled water.
Make sure that the perforated leather does not
get wet on its reverse side.
2. Allow the seat cover to dry completely at room
temperature out of direct sunlight. Do not switch
on seat heating and seat ventilation.
3. Once dry, wipe the seat cover with a dry, lint-free
cloth.
Cleaning carpet, floor mats
Blocked pedals
WARNING
Unsuitable or improperly secured floor mats can re-
strict pedal travel or interfere with pedal operation.
The accelerator pedal may be inadvertently actuated
or the brake pedal blocked. This can result in an un-
expected increase in speed or make braking more
difficult.
e Only use floor mats that are suitable for the
vehicle.
e Secure floor mats properly and do not place them
loosely on the floor.
e Do not lay several floor mats on top of each
other.
e Ensure that the floor mats are securely fitted
again after they have been removed, such as for
cleaning.
To ensure proper cleaning of your vehicle, please
observe the following:
e Clean using a vacuum cleaner or a brush that is
not too soft.
e Remove heavy dirt and stains using a stain
remover.
Porsche recommends car care products from
Porsche Tequipment.
To protect carpets, the Porsche range of accessories
includes floor mats in the correct size and with the
appropriate fastening.
Cleaning airbag covers
Improper cleaning
DANGER
Unsuitable cleaning and care agents can penetrate
into the airbag system. Improper handling can dam-
age the airbag system. In the event of an accident,
the airbag systems may not be triggered.
e Do not make any adjustments to individual com-
ponents such as the steering wheel covers, the
dashboard, the front seats and the door and
ceiling panels.
e Do not use cleaning agents or other liquids in the
area of the airbags.
Cleaning fabric linings
Fabric linings on pillars, roofliner, and sun blinds, etc.
must only be cleaned using suitable cleaning agents,
suitable dry foam and a soft brush.
Alcantara /Race-Tex care
®
Do not use leather care products to clean microfibre
covers made of Alcantara /Race-Tex. For regular
®
care, it is sufficient to clean the cover with a soft
brush. Strong abrasion or rubbing when cleaning will
create a lasting change to the surface.
e When lightly soiled, dampen a soft cloth with
water or a pH-neutral soap solution and wipe off
the dirt.
e When heavily soiled, dampen a soft cloth with
lukewarm water or thinned white spirit and dab
off the dirt from the outside in.
