Wooden trims
Clean with a soft cloth and some mild soap solution consisting of a maximum of two tablespoons of neutral soap diluted in one litre of
water.
Cleaning seat covers
If clothing, such as denim, leaves stains on the seat covers, this is not a defect of the cover fabric. If you want to clean the seat covers
yourself, please always note that parts of the airbag system and electrical connectors are installed in the seat covers. Improper
cleaning, impregnation or soaking can damage these components or interfere with correct functioning of the components. This can in
turn then also lead to damage to other parts of the vehicle’s electrical system →
.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, seat cushions with seat heating have electrical components and connectors that may be
damaged in the event of incorrect cleaning or treatment. This can also result in damage to other parts of the vehicle electrics.
—Never use high-pressure cleaners, steam cleaners and coolant spray.
—Never soak seat covers.
—Never switch on the seat heating to dry the seats.
—Never use impregnation agents.
—Do not use washing paste or fine detergent solutions.
—If in doubt, go to a suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using an authorised Volkswagen repairer.
WARNING
Improper care, impregnation and cleaning of components can irreparably damage the safety features of the vehicle, e.g. the airbag
units, and prevent them from functioning properly. This can lead to serious injuries in the event of an accident.
● Always use suitable cleaning agents. More detailed information is available from a suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen
recommends using an authorised Volkswagen repairer.
● Do not use cleaning agents that contain solvents.
● Vehicle parts must be cleaned according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
The signs of wear and soiling visible due to normal use are naturally more easily visible in the case of light-coloured materials
in the vehicle interior. These signs of use cannot be prevented and also represent unavoidable ageing due to normal use.
Please observe the corresponding care instructions.
Seek advice from a suitably qualified workshop before purchasing accessories, replacement parts or service fluids, for example if the
vehicle is to be retrofitted with accessories or if parts have to be renewed. Qualified workshops can provide information on legal
requirements and also recommend accessories, replacement parts and service fluids. Volkswagen recommends using an authorised
Volkswagen repairer.
Volkswagen recommends using Volkswagen Genuine Parts or Volkswagen Genuine Accessories, which you can purchase from an
authorised Volkswagen repairer. These parts and accessories have been specially tested by Volkswagen for suitability, reliability and
safety. A suitably qualified workshop also has the specialist skills for correct installation. Volkswagen recommends using an authorised
Volkswagen repairer.
Although the market is constantly scrutinised, Volkswagen cannot assume responsibility for the reliability, safety and suitability of
products Volkswagen has not approved. Volkswagen can therefore assume no responsibility for these parts, even if they have been
approved by an official testing agency or are covered by an official approval certificate.
Always contact a suitably qualified workshop if you wish to change to different tyre and rim combinations. Volkswagen recommends
