Date: March 24, 2008

Order No.: S-B-91.18/151

Supersedes:

Group: 91

SUBJECT:
All Passenger and Light Truck Models Dirty Seats

If seat covers are stained/dirty caused by food, perspiration, skin peeling, creams, dirt from clothing, dust, inadequate or non-existent care of the seat covers, or color bleeding from clothing or sheepskin covers, based on the type of seat covering perform the recommended action below to resolve.

Note:
Leather covers are natural products that are subject to a natural aging process, and therefore might behave differently under different temperature conditions.

Genuine leather covers:

Wipe down with a damp cloth and allow to dry. Be careful not to soak the leather especially in perforated areas. After they have been cleaned, treat the leather covers with leather care foam (A001 986 59 7110).

Imitation leather covers:

Clean using approximately 1% mild soap solution and water with a damp cloth and allow to dry.

Alcantara covers:

Clean using only a damp cloth. It is important to treat complete sections of the covers, e.g. an entire side bolster or the entire cushion surface, otherwise visible edges (cleaned vs. non cleaned areas) will be noticeable. When needed Alcantara covers can also be cleaned using a very soft brush.
