Care and cleaning of plastic components, wood trim and instrument panel

Read and follow the introductory information and safety information first⇒Introduction to the subject

• Moisten a clean, lint-free cloth with water and clean the parts.

• Clean plastic components (inside and outside of the vehicle) and the instrument panel only with a solvent-free care and cleaning product that is specifically designed for plastics and approved by Volkswagen ⇒ .

• Clean wood trim with a mild soap solution.

Using solvents or other improper cleaning products on surfaces where airbags are located can change the way airbags deploy in a crash.

• Products containing solvents will change the properties of the plastics and may cause plastic parts to break and fly around when the airbag deploys in a crash, causing injury.

• Never use solvents or cleaners on the steering wheel horn pad or on the instrument panel because they can damage the airbag cover or change the stiffness or strength of the material so that the airbag cannot deploy and protect properly.

• When cleaning the horn pad and instrument panel, use only a soft, dry cloth or a cloth moistened with plain water.
