Leather
Characteristics and special features
The natural surface markings of leather, e.g.
creases, healed scars, insect sting marks, struc-
tural differences and slight variations in shade and
grain add to the attractiveness of the natural leath-
er product.
A special mention must be made here of natural
leather.
For natural leather, carefully selected hides of the
highest quality are used. It is not covered com-
pletely with dye on production.
"Nature's signature" is therefore easily recogniz-
able.
This fine material is distinguished by an outstand-
ing seating comfort, special suppleness and a typ-
ical patina.

Maintenance, Car Care
Leather care and treatment
f Clean all types of leather regularly to remove
fine dust using a soft, damp, white woollen
cloth or a commercially available microfiber
cloth.
f Remove heavy contamination with Porsche
leather cleaner.
Please always follow the instructions for use
given on the containers.
Caustic cleaners and hard cleaning objects
must not be used.
Perforated leather must under no circum-
stances get wet on its reverse side.
Once cleaned, leather (particularly the heavily
stressed leather seats) must be treated only with
Porsche leather care liquid.
Carpets
f Use only a vacuum cleaner or a medium stiff
brush.
f Remove stains and spots with Porsche stain
remover.
Warning!
Risk of an accident.
f Do not obstruct the pedal travel with floor
mats.
Do not lie floor mats loosely on the floor.
Safety belts
If it becomes necessary to clean the belts, you
can use any mild washing agent.
Allow the belts to dry prior to retracting, but avoid
direct sunlight.
f Only use suitable cleaners.
If unsuitable cleaners are used or any attempt
is made to dye or bleach the belts, the web-
bing may be weakened and thus constitute a
safety risk.
