242 Care and cleaning
Car polish or other abrasive agents should not be used for maintaining the
rims. If the protective coating is damaged, e.g. by stone impact, the dam-
aged area should be touched up immediately.
WARNING
Please note when cleaning the wheels that water, ice and road salt can
impair the effectiveness of the brakes; this can cause an accident.
Exhaust tail pipe
It is important to remove road salt and brake dust by washing the wheels at
regular intervals, otherwise the exhaust tail pipe material could be dam-
aged. To remove impurities, do not use rim, paint or chrome cleaners or oth-
er abrasive products. Clean the exhaust tail pipes with cleaning products
that are suitable for stainless steel.
SEAT Official Services carry stocks of cleaning products that have been tes-
ted and approved for use on your vehicle.
Care of the vehicle interior
Radio display/Easy Connect* and control panel*
The display can be cleaned with a soft cloth and a professionally available
“LCD cleaner”. Moisten the cloth with a small amount of the cleaning fluid.
The Easy Connect control panel* should first be cleaned with a brush so
that no dirt goes into the device or between the keys and housing. Next, we
recommend cleaning the Easy Connect control panel* using a cloth damp-
ened with water and washing-up liquid.
CAUTION
To avoid scratching the screen, do not wipe the display with a dry cloth.
To avoid damage, ensure that no liquid goes into the Easy Connect con-
trol panel*.
Plastic and leatherette parts
Plastic parts and leatherette can be cleaned with a damp cloth. If this is not
sufficient, plastic parts and leatherette should only be treated with a special
solvent-free plastic cleaner.
Textile covers and trim parts
Textile covers and trim parts (e.g. seats, door trim) should be cleaned regu-
larly with a vacuum cleaner. This will remove surface dirt which could other-
wise be rubbed into the textile material during use. Do not use steam clean-
ers, as the steam could carry the dirt deeper into the textile material.
Normal cleaning
We recommend that you use a soft sponge or a commercially available lint-
free, micro-fibre cloth for normal cleaning. Only use brushes on floor cover-
ings and mats, as other textile surfaces could become damaged.
In the case of normal surface dirt you can use a foam cleaner. Use a sponge
to spread the foam on the textile surface and to work it into the material
lightly. However, make sure that the textile material does not become soak-
ing wet. Then dab off the foam with a dry and absorbent cloth (e.g. a micro-
fibre cloth) and vacuum off any residue once the surface is completely dry.
Cleaning stains
Treat drink stains (such as coffee or fruit juice, etc.) with a cleaning solution
for delicate fabrics. The cleaning product solution should be applied with a
