Taking care of your vehicle and cleaning the vehicle 239
Using the system Safety Driving Tips General Maintenance Breakdown assistance Technical Data
Caution
• Engine cleaning may only be undertaken when the ignition is off.
• It is recommended to cover the generator before washing the engine
compartment.
For the sake of the environment
The dirty water produced by washing the engine has washed away petrol,
and residues of grease and oil and should therefore be cleaned by an oil
separator. This is why engine washing should only be undertaken in a
specialist garage or at a fueling station (when these are fitted with the
required equipment).
Care of the interior of vehicle
Plastic parts, artificial leather and cloths
You can clean plastic parts and artificial leather with a moist cloth. You
should only treat such parts with special solvent-free plastic cleaning
and care products it does prove to be adequate.
Upholstery cloth and cloth trim on the doors, luggage compartment cover,
headliner etc. are best treated with special cleaning products, using if
necessary a dry foam and a soft sponge or brush.
We recommend using a cleaning product from Škoda genuine accesso-
ries offered by your Škoda dealer.
Caution
Solvent-free cleaners attack the material and can damage it.
Fabric covers of electrically heated seats
Do not clean the seat covers wet as this may result in damage to the seat
heating system.
Clean such covers using special agents, for example dry foam.
Natural leather
Natural leather requires quite particular care and attention.
Leather should be treated from time to time according the
following guidelines depending on how much it is used.
Normal cleaning
– Clean soiled areas of the leather with slightly moistened
cotton or woollen cloth.
Severe soiling
– Clean severely soiled areas with a cloth dipped in a mild
soapy solution (2 spoonfuls of pH-neutral soap to 1 litre of
water).
– Ensure that the leather is not soaked through at any point and
that no water gets into the stitching of the seams.
– Dry off the leather with a soft, dry cloth.
