Cleaning the seat covers

If dye from clothing such as denim stains the seat covers, this is not considered a defect in the vehicle upholstery. If you want to clean the seat covers yourself, be aware that airbag system components and electrical connectors are installed in the seat covers. Incorrect cleaning or moisture may damage these components or cause them to malfunction. This may then cause damage elsewhere in the vehicle's electrical system → .

Depending on the equipment, electrical components and connectors may be installed in the seat surface with seat heating, which can be damaged by incorrect cleaning or handling. This can also result in damage to other areas of the vehicle electrical system.

• Never use pressure washers, steam cleaners or cooling sprays.
• Never soak seat covers.
• Never switch on seat heating to dry the seats.
• Do not use detergent pastes or mild detergent solutions.
• If there is uncertainty, contact suitably qualified professionals for assistance. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

WARNING

Cleaning and caring for vehicle components incorrectly can irreparably damage and impair the vehicle's safety equipment, such as the airbag modules. This may cause serious injuries in the event of an accident.

• Always use approved or recommended cleaning solution.
• Never use cleaning solutions that contain solvents.
• Clean and maintain vehicle components only according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Needless to say, it is easier to see signs of wear and dirt caused by normal usage on bright materials in the vehicle interior. These signs of use are unavoidable and also indicate the unavoidable deterioration caused by normal usage.

Please follow the corresponding care instructions.
