Improper maintenance and cleaning of vehicle
components can impair the function of the
vehicle's safety equipment and cause serious
injury.
•
Clean and store vehicle parts only in
accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
Improper cleaning of the safety belts, their
anchorages and their self-reelers may cause
damage to the safety belts.
•
Never attempt to modify or dismantle the seat
belts yourself in order to clean them.
•
Never clean seat belts and their
components with chemicals.
•
Do not use corrosive liquids, solvents or sharp
objects.
•
Prevent liquids or foreign bodies from entering
the belt fasteners.
•
After cleaning the seat belts, wait for them to
dry completely before rolling them up.
Plastic parts:
Use a soft, damp cloth.
If stubborn dirt cannot be removed with a mild soap
solution (maximum two tablespoons of neutral soap
per litre of water), use a solvent-free plastic cleaner
if necessary, e.g. Volkswagen Original plastic
cleaner (000 096 314).
Trim parts,
chrome, aluminium or stainless steel
trim strips:
Wipe them in a dust-free place with a clean, soft
cloth dipped in a mild soap solution consisting of a
maximum of two tablespoons of neutral soap per
litre of water.
Preserve the anodised surfaces with the original
Volkswagen chrome and aluminium preservative
(000 096 319 D).
Controls:
Remove coarse and inaccessible dirt with a soft
brush. Then use a clean, soft cloth with a little mild
soap solution consisting of a maximum of two
tablespoons of neutral soap per litre of water. Do
not allow liquid to drip onto the controls.
Displays:
Use the Volkswagen Genuine cleaning cloth (000
096 166 A) with a little water, a suitable window
cleaner or LCD cleaner. Do not dry-clean the
instrument cluster display or the infotainment
system display. For cleaning, temporarily switch off
the infotainment system.
Rubber seals:
Clean with a soft, lint-free cloth and plenty of
water. Treat them regularly with the original
Volkswa- gen rubber care product (000 096 310).
Safety belts:
Pull out the seat belt completely and unwind it →
. Remove coarse dirt with a soft brush. Clean the
seat belt with a mild soap solution. Allow the seat
belt webbing to dry completely and then roll it up.
Wooden trims:
Wipe them with a soft cloth and a little mild soap
solution consisting of a maximum of two
tablespoons of neutral soap per litre of water.
Cleaning of seat upholstery
If an item of clothing, e.g. denim, colours the
upholstery of the seats, this is not a defect in the
upholstery, but is due to a lack of dye fastness of
the item of clothing.
Parts of the airbag system and electrical
connectors may be mounted in the seat
upholstery. If the seat upholstery is damaged,
improperly cleaned and treated or gets wet, this
could damage the vehicle's electrical system and
damage the airbag system → .
Depending on the equipment, electrical components
and connectors are fitted to the heated seats, which
could be damaged by improper cleaning or
treatment. Damage could also occur at other points
in the vehicle's electrical system.
