• We recommend that you use a soft sponge or commercially available lint-free microfibre cloth for cleaning jobs
• Clean Alcantara® surfaces with a slightly damp cotton or woollen cloth or a commercially available lint-free microfibre cloth
General surface soiling of the upholstery and fabric trim can be cleaned with a commercially available foam cleaner.
If the upholstery and fabric trims are generally heavily soiled, consult a Volkswagen dealership for information on suitable cleaning methods before attempting any cleaning. If required, take the vehi-cle to a specialist cleaning company.
Treating stains
When treating stains, it may be necessary to clean the entire surface and not just the stain itself. This particularly applies if the surface shows general signs of wear. The cleaned area could otherwise be lighter than the surrounding area. If in doubt, consult a specialist cleaning company.
Type of stain Recommended cleaning method for seat cushions and upholstery
Water-based stains, e.g. cof-fee, fruit juice. -Moisten a sponge using water from a spray bottle and treat the stain by wiping in a circular motion. -Wipe clean with an absorbent, dry cloth.
Stubborn stains, e.g. choco--Only use detergents that have been approved by Volkswagen. late, foundation. -If required, have the upholstery cleaned by a specialist cleaning compa-ny.

A WARNING CD
If there is a fault in the airbag system, the air-bag may not trigger correctly, may not trigger at all or may trigger unexpectedly. This can cause severe or fatal injuries.
• The airbag system should be checked by a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
Q)
If the upholstery on electrically adjustable seats or on seat cushions containing airbag components gets wet, electric components and the vehicle electrics could be damaged.
• Wet seat cushions should be promptly dried out, and their system components checked, at a qualified workshop.
• Do not use steam cleaners as the steam pushes the soiling into the fabric and sets it.
390 Cleaning and maintenance
• High-pressure cleaners and coolant sprays can damage the upholstery.
Q)
• Brushes should be used on carpets and mats only. Other surfaces could be damaged by brushes.
• When washing paste or fine detergent solu-tions are applied with a damp cloth or sponge, visible edges may appear on the upholstery once it has dried. This can be due to substan-ces such as surfactants. These edges are usu-ally difficult or even Impossible to remove.
Q)
• Do not soak Alcantara® under any circum-stances.
• Do not use leather care products, solvents, wax polish, shoe cream, stain removers or sim-ilar products on Alcantara®.
• Do not use brushes if cleaning with liquids. This could damage the surface of the material.

A WARNING (Continued)
• Always follow the instructions In the checklist and observe the general safety pro-
Sealing and inflating tyres
r-"'('n First read and observe the Introductory L-J,.:.U Information and safety warnings & on page 425.
Sealing a tyre
• Unscrew the cap from the tyre valve.
• Use the valve core extractor 302 CD to screw the valve core out of the tyre valve. Place the core on a clean surface.
• Shake the tyre filler bottle 302 ® vigo-rously up and down several times.
• Screw the filler hose 302 @tightly onto the tyre filler bottle in a clockwise direction. The plastic foil on the plug is pierced automatically.
• Remove the plug from the filler hose 302@ and place the open end fully on the tyre valve.
• Hold the bottle upside down and inject the en-tire contents of the tyre filler bottle into the tyre.
• Remove the empty tyre filler bottle from the valve.
• Use the valve core extractor 302 CD to screw the valve core back onto the tyre valve.
Inflating the tyre
• Screw the tyre filler hose 302 ® of the air compressor tightly onto the tyre valve.
• Check that the bleed screw 302 (?) is closed.
• Start the engine and let it run.
• Insert the plug 302 ®into one of the ve-hicle's 12-volt sockets 163.
• Use the on/off switch 302 ®to switch on the air compressor.
• Run the compressor until the tyre pressure has reached 2.0-2.5 bar (29-36 psi I 200-250 kPa) maximum running time is 6 minutes
• Switch off the air compressor.
• If a pressure level of 2.0-2.5 bar (29-36 psi I 200 -250 kPa) cannot be achieved unscrew the tyre filler hose from the tyre valve.
428 I If and when
• Drive (or reverse) the vehicle approximately 1 0 metres so that the sealing compound is more evenly distributed in the tyre.
• Screw the tyre filler hose for the air compressor firmly back onto the tyre valve and inflate the tyre again.
• If the required pressure still cannot be reached, the tyre is too badly damaged. The tyre cannot be sealed with the breakdown set. Do not drive on. Seek expert assistance &.
• Disconnect the air compressor and unscrew the tyre filler hose from the tyre valve.
• Drive the vehicle no faster than 80 km/h (50 mph) once a tyre pressure of 2.0-2.5 bar (29-36 psi I 200-250 kPa) has been reached.
• Check the tyre pressure after driving for 10 mi-nutes 429.
A WARNING
The tyre filler hose and the air compressor can get hot during Inflation.
• Protect your hands and skin from the hot components.
• Do not place the hot tyre filler hose or the hot air compressor on any Inflammable mate-rials.
• Allow the device to cool down fully before stowing.
• If the tyre will not Inflate to at least 2.0 bar (29 psi/ 200 kPa), the tyre Is too damaged. The sealant Is unable to seal the tyre. Do not drive on. Seek expert assistance.
CD
Switch the air compressor off after a maximum of 6 minutes to avoid overheating. Let the air compressor cool down for a few minutes be-fore switching it back on.
