Caring for upholstery
Modern clothing fabrics such as dark denim may not be completely colorfast. Even with normal use,
dye from these and other fabrics can rub off on seat upholstery and leave visible discolorations
(especially on light-colored seat upholstery). This is caused by a lack of colorfastness in the clothing
fabric, not by any fault in the seat upholstery fabric. To help prevent damage to the seat upholstery,
always make sure your clothing is colorfast. Volkswagen recommends having a qualified specialist
remove any discolorations from the seat upholstery.
The longer stains, dirt and other deposits remain on the surfaces of vehicle components and
upholstery, the more difficult it may be to clean them. If stains, dirt and deposits are left untreated for a
long time, they may become impossible to remove.
