KODA Citigo Owner's Manual page 113

Treat the leather regularly and at suitable intervals using a suitable leather care
product.
CAUTION
Ensure that no part of the leather is soaked through during cleaning and that
■
no water gets into the seams. Otherwise, the leather could become brittle or
cracked.
Avoid leaving the vehicle for lengthy periods in bright sunlight to avoid the
■
leather from bleaching. If the vehicle is parked in the open for lengthy periods,
protect the leather from direct sunlight by covering it.
Sharp-edged objects on items of clothing such as zip fasteners, rivets, sharp-
■
edged belts, jewellery and pendants may leave permanent scratches or signs of
rubbing on the surface. Such damage cannot be subsequently recognised as a
justified complaint.
The use of a mechanical steering wheel lock may damage the leather surface of
■
the steering wheel.
Use a care cream with light blocker and impregnation effect on a regular basis
■
and each time after cleaning. The cream nourishes the leather, allows it to
breathe and keeps it supple and also provides moisture. It also creates surface
protection.
Some clothing materials, e.g. dark denim, do not have sufficient colour fastness.
■
This can cause damage or clearly visible discolouration to seat covers, even when
used correctly. This applies particularly to light-coloured seat covers. This does
not relate to a fault in the seat cover, but rather to poor colour fastness of the
clothing textiles.
Note
When using the vehicle, minor visible changes may occur to the leather parts of
the covers (e.g. wrinkles or creases) as a result of the stress applied to the covers.
Artificial leather and fabric

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 110.
Artificial leather
Clean artificial leather with a damp cloth.
If this method does not completely clean the artificial leather, use a mild soap sol-
ution or cleaning products specially designed for this purpose.
Fabric
Clean upholstery cover materials and cloth trims on doors, luggage compartment
cover, etc. using specific cleaning agents, e.g., dry foam.
Use a soft sponge, brush, or commercially available microfibre cloth.
Use a cloth and a specific cleaning agent to clean the roof trim.
Remove any lumps on the cover fabric and any fabric residue using a brush.
Remove stubborn hair using a "cleaning glove".
CAUTION
Avoid leaving the vehicle in bright sunlight for long periods of time in order to
■
stop the fabric from bleaching. If the vehicle is parked outside for long periods of
time, cover the fabric to protect it from direct sunlight.
Some clothing materials, e.g. dark denim, do not have sufficient colour fastness.
■
This can cause damage or clearly visible discolouration to seat covers, even when
used correctly. This applies particularly to light-coloured seat covers. This does
not relate to a fault in the seat cover, but rather to poor colour fastness of the
clothing textiles.
Seat covers

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 110.
Electrically heated seats
Do not clean the covers by moistening, as this can damage the seat heating sys-
tem.

Use a specific cleaning agent such as dry foam or similar to clean the covers.
Seats without seat heating
Thoroughly vacuum the seat covers with a vacuum cleaner before cleaning.
Clean the seat covers with a damp cloth or cleaning products specially designed
for this purpose.
Indented points arising on the fabrics by everyday use, can be removed by brush-
ing against the direction of hair with a damp brush.
Always clean all parts of the covers, so that there are no visible edges. Then allow
the seat to dry completely.
