Care and maintenance
How to care for upholstery
To treat and maintain your seat upholstery,
›››
keep the following in mind
●
Before entering the vehicle, close any Vel-
cro fasteners that might snag on the uphols-
tery or trim fabric. Any open Velcro fasteners
may damage the trim or upholstery fabrics.
●
To prevent damage, avoid direct contact
between sharp decorative objects and the
upholstery and trim fabrics. Decorative ob-
jects include zips, rivets and rhinestones on
clothing and belts.
●
From time to time, clean the dust that gath-
ers in the perforations, folds and seams so
that the surfaces of the seats are not dam-
aged 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 colour.
CAUTION
If the instructions for upholstery and trim
care are not followed, they may deteriorate
and discolour.
Note
SEAT recommends you take the vehicle to a
Specialised workshop to treat any stains on
the upholstery caused by the discolouration
of clothing.
Cleaning padding and textile covers
Normal cleaning
:
Before applying cleaning products, please
●
read the instructions for handling 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 clean-
›››
ing
.
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.
Cleaning stains
It may be necessary to clean the whole sur-
face and not only the stain itself. Especially if
the surface has been dirtied through normal
use. Otherwise, the stained area may be-
come lighter than the rest of the surface after
treatment.
