Leather
Characteristics and special features
The natural surface markings of leather, e.g.
creases, healed scars, insect sting marks,
structural differences and slight variations in shade
and grain add to the attractiveness of the natural
leather 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
completely with dye on production. "Nature's
signature" is therefore easily recognizable. This
fine material is distinguished by an outstanding
seating comfort, special suppleness and a typical
patina.
Leather care and treatment
Clean all types of leather regularly to remove
fine dust using a soft, damp, white woolen
cloth or a commercially available microfiber
cloth.
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.
Fabric, upholstery, carpets and oor-mats
Use only a vacuum cleaner or a medium stiff
brush.
Remove stains and spots with Porsche stain
remover.
The Porsche range of accessories includes
nonskid floor-mats to protect the carpets in
summer and winter.
Warning!
Risk of an accident resulting in serious
personal injury or death.
Always check the movement of the pedals
before driving and make sure that they are not
obstructed by a floor mat or any other object.
Secure the floor mat to prevent it from sliding
into positions that could interfere with the safe
operation of your vehicle - do not lay them
loosely in the vehicle. Your Porsche dealer will
be glad to offer you nonskid-floor mats of the
correct size.
Alcantara
Regular care
Do not use a leather care product to clean
Alcantara.
For regular care it is sufficient to clean the cover
with a soft brush.
Heavy abrasion or rubbing when cleaning causes a
permanent change in the surface.
Cleaning when lightly soiled
Wet a soft cloth with water or a neutral soap
solution and wipe off the dirt.
Cleaning when heavily soiled
Wet a soft cloth with lukewarm water or
thinned white spirit and dab the dirt from the
outside in.
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.
Only use suitable cleaners. If unsuitable
cleaners are used or any attempt is made
to dye or bleach the belts, the webbing may be
weakened and thus constitute a safety risk.
