Vehicle care and maintenance
WARNING
Inappropriate care and cleaning of vehicle components may effect the ve-
hicle safety equipment, increasing the risk of severe injury.
● Vehicle components should only be cleaned and maintained in ac-
cordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
● Only use approved or recommended care products.
CAUTION
● Cleaning products which contain solvents will damage the material.
● To avoid damage, stubborn stains should be removed by a specialised
workshop.
Note
Suitable vehicle care products are available from your Technical Service.
Treating your upholstery
To treat and maintain your seat upholstery, keep the following in mind ⇒ :
● Before entering the vehicle, close any Velcro fasteners that might snag
on the upholstery or trim fabric. Any open Velcro fasteners may damage the
trim or upholstery fabrics.
● To prevent damage, avoid direct contact between sharp decorative ob-
jects and the upholstery and trim fabrics. Decorative objects include zips,
rivets and rhinestones on clothing and belts.
● From time to time, clean the dust that gathers in the perforations, folds
and seams so that the surfaces of the seats are not damaged by its abrasive
effect.
● Make sure clothes are colour-fast to avoid them running and staining
the upholstery. This is especially important if the upholstery is light in col-
our.
CAUTION
Failure to observe the instructions in the check list for caring for your up-
holstery could result in damage or discolouration of the upholstery and cov-
ers.
Note
SEAT recommends you take the vehicle to a Specialised workshop to treat
any stains on the upholstery caused by the discolouration of clothing.
Padding and fabric trim cleaning
Normal cleaning
● Before applying cleaning products, please read the instructions for han-
dling and the warnings shown on the container.
● The upholstery, textile covers, and carpet should be regularly vacuumed
(with vacuum brush).
● We recommend that you use a soft sponge or lint-free, micro-fibre cloth
for normal cleaning ⇒ .
General superficial dirt on upholstery and textile covers can be cleaned with
a normal foam cleaning product.
If the upholstery and the material trims are very dirty, we recommend you
have them cleaned by a specialist cleaning form.
