Cleaning the upholstery on heated seats and
electrica
lly operated seats or seats with air-
bag components
It is possible that there are important airbag
components and electrical connections in-
side the driver seat, passenger seat and pos-
sibly the outer rear seats. If these seats and
seat backrests are damaged, or are cleaned
and are treated incorrectly, or if they get wet,
the vehicle electric system may be destroyed
and the airbag system damaged ›››
.
El
ectric
and he
ated seats contain compo-
nents and electrical connections that may be
damaged if the seats are cleaned or incor-
rectly treated
›››
. Similarly, damage might
be c
au
sed at
other points in the vehicle's
electric system.
For this reason, bear the following indica-
tions in mind for cleaning:
●
Do not use high-pressure or steam cleaning
equipment or cold aerosols.
●
Do not use cream detergents or detergent-
based solutions for delicate garments.
●
Prevent the fabric from getting wet at all
times.
●
Only use cleaning products approved by
SEAT
.
●
If in doubt, tak
e the vehicle to a professio-
nal cleaning company.

upholstery of the seats and the
carpet.
●
Do not use high-pressure or steam cleaning

If
the dir
t
on the trim and upholstery fabrics
is only superficial, you can use a standard
foam cleaner.
If the upholstery and trim are very dirty, be-
fore cleaning them we recommend you find
out about the most suitable cleaning options
from a professional cleaning company. If nec-
essary, the cleaning should be carried out by
a specialised company.
Stain removal
When removing stains, it may be necessary
to clean the whole surface and not just the
stain itself. Especially if the surface has been
dirtied through normal use. If you only clean
the stained area, that part may then look
lighter than the rest. If in doubt, take the ve-
hicle to a professional cleaning company.
WARNING
If there is a fault in the airbag system, it is
likely th
at the airbag will not deploy correct-
ly, not deploy at all, or do so unexpectedly,
which could cause serious or fatal injuries.
●
Have the system checked immediately by a
specialised workshop.
CAUTION
If the upholstery on electrically operated
seats
or seats with airbag components gets
soaked, the vehicle's electric system and cer-
tain other components may be damaged.
●
If the seat gets soaked, take the vehicle im-
mediately to a specialised workshop to be
dried and for the system components to be
inspected.
●
Do not use steam cleaning equipment as
the dirt becomes more encrusted and fixed in
the material.
●
High-pressure cleaning equipment and cold
aerosols may damage the upholstery.
