Care and maintenance
Camera sensors and lenses
Use a small brush to remove snow and a
de-icer spray to remove ice.
Clean the sensors with a solvent-free prod-
uct and a soft, dry cloth.
Moisten the camera lens using a standard
alcohol-based glass cleaning agent and
clean the lens with a dry cloth. In the active
lane assist*, the area in front of the lens is
normal
ly cleaned with the windscreen wash-
er.
CAUTION
When you clean the vehicle with a pressure
washer:
Stay a suitable distance from the sensors
on the front and rear bumpers.
Do not clean the camera lenses or sur-
rounding area with the pressure washer.
Never use warm or hot water to remove
snow and ice from the reverse camera lens,
as it could crack the lens.
Never use abrasive cleaning agents on the
lens.
Care and polishing
Care
Waxing protects the paintwork. It is time to
apply a coat of good wax when water no lon-
ger forms droplets and rolls off the clean
paintwork.
Even if a wax solution is used regularly in the
vehicle washing tunnel, it is advisable to pro-
tect the paint with a hard wax coating at least
twice a year.
In the summer, you will find it is much easier
to remove dead insects (which accumulate
on the bumper and the front of the bonnet) if
the car has been treated with care products
recently
.
P
o
lishing
Polishing is only necessary if the paint has
lost its shine, and the gloss cannot be
brought back by putting on wax.
If the polish does not contain wax, a wax
product should be applied after polishing.
CAUTION
Do not use polishes and hard wax on pain-
ted parts with a matt finish or on plastic
parts.
Do not apply paint polishes to the side trim
that runs around the panoramic roof and ends
on the windscreen. However, it can be treated
with hard wax.
Trims
In respect for the environment, the silver-
plated trims on the body are made of pure
aluminium (they do not contain chrome).
Dirt or marks on the trim mouldings should
be removed with a cleaning product with a
neutra
l PH (do not use a chrome cleaner).
Body polish is also unsuitable for use on trim
mouldings. The intensive cleaning fluids of-
ten used before the car goes into a car wash
may contain alkaline substances, which can
cause dull or milky patches when they dry
out.
SEAT Official Services carry stocks of cleaning
products which have been tested for use on
your vehicle and are not harmful to the envi-
ronment.
Plastic parts
Plastic parts are cleaned with a power wash-
er. If this is not sufficient, plastic parts
should only be treated with a special solvent-
free
plastic cleaning agent. Do not
u
se paint-
work cleaners, polishes or wax on plastic
parts.
