Risk of damage to the vehicle!
Sensors and camera lenses
● Use a small brush to remove snow and a
de-icer spray to remove ice.
● Clean the sensors with a solvent-free prod-
uct and a soft, dry cloth.
Moisten the camera lens using a standard
●
alcohol-based glass cleaning agent and
clean the lens with a dry cloth.
CAUTION
● When you clean the vehicle with a pressure
washer:
Stay a suitable distance from the sensors
–
on the front and rear bumpers.
Do not clean the camera lenses or sur-
–
rounding area with the pressure washer.
● Never use warm or hot water to remove
snow and ice from the reverse camera lens,
as it could crack the lens.

Vehicle paint waxing and polishing
Care
To a great extent, good waxing protects the
vehicle surface from the harmful effects of
the environment.
The vehicle must be treated with a high qual-
ity, hard wax when water no longer forms
droplets on clean paintwork.
A new coat of high quality, hard wax can be
applied to the clean, painted surface only
when it has fully dried. Even if a wax solution
is used regularly in the car wash, it is advisa-
ble to protect the paint with a coat of wax at
least twice a year.
Polishing
Polishing is only necessary if the paint has
lost its shine, and the gloss cannot be
brought back by applying wax.
The vehicle must be waxed after polishing if
the polish used does not contain wax com-
pounds to seal the paint.
CAUTION
● Never wax the windows.
Do not use polishes and hard wax on pain-
●
ted parts with a matt finish or on plastic
parts.
Do not polish your vehicle in a sandy or
●
dusty environment.
Cleaning of chromed parts
Clean the chrome first with a clean cloth and
then buff up with a soft, dry cloth. If this does
not clean the chrome properly, use a special
chrome cleaner.
CAUTION
Do not polish the chrome in a dusty environ-
ment or it could be scratched.
Damage to the paint
Minor damage to the paint, such as scratches
or stone chips, should be touched up without
delay using paint.
Suitable touch-up brushes or sprays for the
colour of your vehicle can be purchased from
authorised SEAT dealers.
Note
We recommend you leave paint damage re-
pairs to a SEAT Authorised Service.
