Vehicle interior maintenance

Plastic parts and dash panel cleaning

– Use a clean, damp cloth to clean plastic parts and the dash

panel.

– If this does not provide satisfactory results, use a special

solvent-free plastic cleaning product.

containing solvents. Solvents cause the surface to become porous. If the

airbag triggered, disintegrating plastic parts could cause substantial inju-

ries.

Caution

Cleaning products which contain solvents will damage the material.

Wooden trim cleaning*

– Clean the wooden trim with a water-moistened clean cloth.

– If this does not provide satisfactory results, use a gentle soap

solution.

Caution

Cleaning products which contain solvents will damage the material.

Cleaning the radio and climate controls

To clean the radio and/or climate controls, use a soft damp cloth. For more

resistant dirt, a neutral soap solution may be used.

Cloth seat covers and fabric trim cleaning

Cloth seat covers and fabric trim on the doors, headlining etc. can be cleaned

with a special interior cleanser or with dry foam and a soft brush.

Leather cleaning*

Normal cleaning

– Moisten a cotton or woollen cloth with water and wipe over the

leather surfaces.

Cleaning stubborn stains

(pure liquid soap; two tablespoons diluted in one litre of water)

and a cloth.

– Do not let the water soak through the leather or soak into the

seams.

care product, available in your Authorised Service Centre.

Cleaning and caring for your vehicle 199

Safety First Operating instructions Practical tips Technical Data

– Apply these products very sparingly.

– Then wipe off with a soft, dry cloth.

SEAT does everything possible to preserve the genuine qualities of this

natural product. Due to the natural properties of the specially selected hides

employed, the finished leather has a certain sensitivity to grease and dirt, etc.

so a degree of care is required in everyday use and when looking after the

leather.

Dust and grit in the pores and seams can scratch and damage the surface. If

the vehicle is under solar radiation for long periods, the leather should be

protected to prevent it from fading. However, slight colour variations in high-

quality natural leather are normal.

Caution

• Do not use solvents, wax polish, shoe cream, spot removers or similar

products on leather.

• To avoid damage, stubborn stains should be removed by a qualified

workshop.

Seat belts cleaning

A dirty belt may not work properly.

Check all seat belts regularly and keep them clean.

Seat belts cleaning

– Pull the dirty seat belt right out and unroll it.

– Clean the dirty seat belts with a gentle soap solution.

– Allow it to dry.

– Do not roll the seat belt up until it is dry.

If large stains form on the belts, it will not retract correctly into the automatic

belt retractor.

WARNING

• Do not use chemical cleaning agents on the seat belts, as this can

impair the strength of the webbing. Ensure that belts do not come into

contact with corrosive fluids.

• Check all seat belts condition at regular intervals. If you notice that the

belt webbing, fittings, retractor mechanism or buckle of any of the belts is

damaged, the belt must be replaced by a specialist workshop.

• Do not attempt to repair a damaged seat belt yourself. The seat belts

must not be removed or modified in any way.

Caution

After cleaning, allow seat belts to dry completely before rolling them up.

Otherwise, the belt retractors could become damaged.
