Volkswagen Touran Owners Manual: Cleaning and caring for natural leather covers
First read and observe the introductory
information and safety warnings
Please contact a Volkswagen dealership or other qualified workshop if you have any questions on cleaning and caring for the leather equipment in your vehicle.
Care and use
Natural leather is sensitive as it does not have a uniform coating of dye.
- Use a leather cream with sunlight protection and impregnation properties on a regular basis and always after cleaning. The cream nourishes the leather, keeps it breathable and supple and replaces lost moisture. It also protects the surface.
- Leather should be cleaned every two to three months and fresh stains removed.
- Treat the leather with a special leather care product every six months .
- Apply cleaning and care products sparingly.
- Remove fresh stains such as ink, ball-point pen ink, lipstick, shoe cream etc. as quickly as possible.
- Look after the pigment. Use a special coloured leather cream to refresh the colour where necessary.
- Wipe off with a soft cloth.
Cleaning
Volkswagen recommends that you use a damp cotton or wool cloth for general cleaning purposes.
Do not let the water soak through the leather or soak into the seams.

wringing out the cloth.a). – Dry with an absorbent, dry cloth. |

NOTICE
- Do not use solvents, wax polish, shoe cream, spot removers or similar products on leather.
- Spilt liquids should be cleaned away using an absorbent cloth immediately. The leather surface absorbs liquids quickly.

However, slight colour variations will arise in normal use.
a) Mild soap solution: two tablespoons neutral soap diluted in one litre of water.
