Cleaning seat covers
If clothing that is not sufficiently colour-fast,
e.g. denim which leaves stains on the seat
cushion, then this is not due to the cover fab-
ric. The seat padding may contain compo-
nents for the airbag system and electrical
connections. Seat padding that is damaged,
incorrectly cleaned or treated, or that be-
comes wet, may cause damage to the vehicle
electrical system or trigger a fault in the air-
bag system → .
Depending on the vehicle equipment, seat
cushions with seat heating have electrical
components and connectors that may be
damaged in the event of incorrect cleaning or
treatment. This can also result in damage to
other parts of the vehicle electrics.
— Never use high-pressure cleaners, steam
cleaners and coolant spray.
— Do not switch on the seat heating to dry
the seats.
— Do not use washing paste or fine deter-
gent solutions.
— Avoid getting the seat wet.
— In the event of uncertainty, contact
a Volkswagen dealership.
