Care and maintenance
CAUTION
●
Brushes
should only be used to clean the
carpet and floor mats! Other fabrics may be
damaged if cleaned with a brush.
●
If cream detergents or detergents for deli-
cate garments are applied with a damp cloth
or sponge, they may, for example, leave rings
when dry because of the surfactant compo-
nents they contain. Generally, such rings are
very difficult or almost impossible to remove.

Do not use leather cleaning products, sol-
vents, wax polish, shoe cream, stain remov-
ers or similar products on Alcantara

rial as they could damage the surface.

Consult a professional cleaning workshop if

av

taining the leather equipment in your vehicle.
Maintenance and treatment
Nappa natural leather is delicate because it
has no additional protective layer.
●
After cleaning, regularly apply a condition-
er with sun-screen and impregnating action.
These products nourish the leather, soften it
and make it more breathable, as well as re-
hydrating it. They also provide it with a pro-
tective film.
●
Clean the leather every 2 or 3 months and
remove stains as they appear.
●
Treat the leather every 6 months with a
suitable maintenance product.
●
Apply as few cleaning and maintenance
products as possible, always using a dry, lint-
free cotton or woollen cloth. Do not apply
cleaning and maintenance products directly
to the leather.
●
Remove recent ball-point pen and ink
stains, lipstick, shoe cream and similar
stains as soon as possible.
●
Maintain the colour of the leather. To do
this, use a special cream especially coloured
for leather to achieve the same overall colour,
if necessary.
●
Afterwards, go over it with a soft cloth.
Cleaning the vehicle
SEAT recommends using a slightly damp cot-
ton or woollen cloth for general cleaning pur-
poses.
Generally, the leather should never be
soaked at any point, nor should water pene-
trate the seams.
Before cleaning the leather upholstery, bear
in mind the following recommendations
››› page 260, Cleaning the upholstery on
heated seats and electrically operated seats
or seats with airbag components.
CAUTION
●
On no accou
nt use solvents, wax polish,
shoe cream, stain removers or similar materi-
als on leather.
●
If the stain remains on the leather for long,
it will soak in and be impossible to remove.
●
In the event of spilt liquids, dry immediate-
ly with an absorbent cloth to prevent the liq-
uid penetrating through the leather or seams.
●
If the vehicle is left standing in the sun for
long periods, the leather should be protected
against direct sunlight to prevent it from fad-
ing.
Note
The leather will usually change colour slight-
ly with u
se.
