LEATHER

To prevent ingrained dirt and staining, inspect
the seat upholstery regularly and clean every
one to two months, as follows:
• Wipe off fine dust from the seat surfaces

using a clean, damp, non-coloured cloth.
Change frequently to a clean area of cloth,
to avoid abrasive action on the leather
surface. Avoid over-wetting.

• If this is not sufficient, use a cloth which

has been dampened with warm soapy
water and then wrung out. Use only mild
non-caustic soap.

• Use Jaguar Leather Cleaner for heavily

soiled areas. Dry off and rub with a clean
soft cloth, changing surfaces regularly.

Use Jaguar Leather Cleaner several times a
year to maintain its appearance and
suppleness. The cleaner will nourish and
moisturise and help to improve the surface
protective film against dust and substances.
• Do not use solvents. Do not use

detergents, furniture polish or household
cleaners. While these products may
initially give impressive results, their use
will lead to rapid deterioration of the leather
and will invalidate the warranty. Jaguar
recommend a basic set of products that
have been specially selected for the type of
leather in your vehicle.

• Dark clothing may stain leather seats just

like other upholstery products.

• Sharp objects such as belts, zip fasteners,

rivets, etc., can leave permanent scratches
and scratch marks on the leather surface.

• Unless spillages such as tea, coffee or ink

are washed away immediately, permanent
staining may have to be accepted.

If a valet service is used, ensure that the
specialist concerned is aware of, and follows,
these instructions precisely.

CLOTH AND FABRIC

Never use soap, ammonia, bleach or
other cleaners intended for use on hard
surfaces.

Do not use upholstery cleaner on
electrical equipment such as facia
switches.

When cleaning around electrical
equipment such as switches, ensure
that fluids do not leak into any gaps
around the components or between
panels or trim.

Use Jaguar Upholstery Cleaner, following the
instructions. Avoid over-wetting.

REMOVING STAINS

Most stains on woollen fabric can be removed
if treatment is carried out immediately, before
the stain has a chance to dry-in.

Most stains can be treated with one of three
cleaning fluids: Jaguar Upholstery Cleaner, dry
cleaning fluid or clean water. Follow the
instructions on the package.

INSTRUMENT PANEL, CLOCK AND
AUDIO EQUIPMENT

Only use a soft dry cloth to clean the
instrument panel, clock and audio equipment.
Do not use cleaning fluids or sprays.

TOUCH SCREEN

Do not use abrasive cleaners on the
touch screen. For approved cleaning
products, contact your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer.
