Advice
Note
●
Remove stains from fresh ball-pen and oth-
er inks, lipstick, shoe cream and similar
stains on the fabric (leather), upholstery and
fabric trim as soon as possible.
●
We recommend that you visit an authorised
SEAT dealer to clean and care for the interior
of your vehicle, due to the problems that may
arise when cleaning and caring for the interi-
or of your vehicle and to the utensils and
knowledge required.
Washing the vehicle
The best protection of the vehicle from the
harmful influences of the environment in-
volves frequent
washing and waxing. The fre-
quency
w
ith which the vehicle is washed de-
pends on many different factors, such as:
●
Frequency of use
●
Type of parking (garage, underneath trees,
etc.)
●
Time of year
●
Weather conditions
●
Environmental conditions
The longer substances such as insects, bird
droppings, resinous tree sap, road dirt, in-
dustrial deposits, tar, soot or road salt and
other aggressive materials remain on the
paintwork, the more damage they do. High
temperatures (for instance in strong sunlight)
further intensify the corrosive effect.
After the winter season, it is important to
have the underside of the vehicle washed
thoroughly.
Automatic car washes
Your vehicle can be washed in an automatic
car wash.
Before going through an automatic car wash,
be sure to take the usual precautions such as
closing the windows, etc.
If the vehicle has special accessories such as
spoilers or a roof rack or two-way radio aerial,
etc., it is advisable to consult the car wash
operator beforehand.
The windscreen wiper rubbers must be de-
greased after going after the car wash and
waxing.
Washing by hand
When washing the car by hand, use plenty of
water to soften the dirt first and rinse off as
well as possible.
Then clean the vehicle with a sponge, glove
or
brush
. Start on the roof and work down.
U
se only slight pressure when cleaning the
painted surfaces of the vehicle. A car sham-
poo should only be used for very persistent
dirt.
Rinse the sponge or glove thoroughly and of-
ten.
Wheels, sills and underside should be
cleaned last. Use a second sponge for this.
After washing, rinse the vehicle thoroughly
and then dry with a chamois.
Washing with high-pressure cleaners
When cleaning the vehicle with a high-pres-
sure cleaner, always follow the operating in-
structions for the equipment. This particular-
ly applies to the operating pressure and the
distance
of the spray from the surface of the
v
ehic
le. Do not hold the spray nozzle too
close to the parking aid system sensors and
soft materials, such as rubber hoses or insu-
lating material.
WARNING
Do no use a nozzle that sprays the water out
in a direct stream or one that has a “rotating
jet”!
CAUTION
Do not use water hotter than +60 °C (140 °F).
Risk of damage to the vehicle!
