Skoda Citigo Operating Instructions Manual page 102

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.
The use of an additional mechanical steering wheel lock may damage the
■
leather surface of the steering wheel.
Some clothing materials, e.g. dark denim, do not have sufficient colour fast-
■
ness. This can cause damage or clearly visible discolouration to seat covers,
even when used correctly. This applies particularly to light-coloured seat cov-
ers. This does not relate to a fault in the seat cover, but rather to poor colour
fastness of the clothing textiles.
Sharp-edged objects on items of clothing such as zip fasteners, rivets, sharp-
■
edged belts etc may leave permanent scratches or signs of rubbing on the sur-
face or damage these. Such damage cannot be subsequently recognised as a
justified complaint.
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, materials and Alcantara

vacuum cleaner.

Electrically heated seats
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 de-
signed for this purpose.
Indented points arising on the fabrics by everyday use, can be removed by
brushing 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.
CAUTION
Do not clean the covers of electrically heated seats either with water or with
■
other liquids - there is a risk of damaging the seat heating system.
