Taking care of leather seats

• Vacuum the leather seats of your Kia EV6 regularly to remove dust, sand, and other abrasive particles. This helps reduce wear, prevent surface damage, and maintain the premium appearance of the leather upholstery.

• Wipe leather seat surfaces frequently using a soft, clean, dry cloth to remove light dust and maintain a fresh appearance.

• Applying a high-quality leather protector may help reduce wear, maintain color consistency, and preserve the condition of the seat covers. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and consult a professional if you are uncertain about product compatibility.

• Light-colored leather interiors, including beige and cream finishes, may show contamination more easily. For this reason, these surfaces should be cleaned more frequently to maintain their original appearance.

• Avoid wiping leather with excessively wet cloths or allowing moisture to remain on the surface. Excessive moisture may contribute to cracking, surface deterioration, or loss of finish over time.

Cleaning the leather products

Contaminants should be removed from leather surfaces as quickly as possible. Leaving stains untreated may result in permanent discoloration or damage to the leather used throughout the Kia EV6 interior.

• Cosmetic products (sunscreen, foundation, etc.)

  • Apply a leather cleaner or cleansing cream to a soft cloth and gently wipe the affected area. Afterwards, remove any remaining cleaner using a damp cloth and dry the surface thoroughly with a clean, dry cloth.

• Beverages (coffee, soft drink, etc.)

  • Apply a small amount of neutral detergent solution and gently clean the stained area until all residue has been removed without spreading the contamination further.

• Oil

  • Remove oil immediately using an absorbent cloth. Afterward, use a leather-specific stain remover according to the product instructions.

• Chewing gum

  • Harden the gum using ice or a cold pack and carefully remove it in stages without damaging the leather surface.

Fabric seat cover: (if equipped)

If your Kia EV6 is equipped with fabric seats, clean them regularly using a vacuum cleaner to remove dirt and debris trapped within the fibers. Routine cleaning helps preserve appearance and prolong seat-cover life.

For heavier contamination such as beverage spills or stains, use an interior cleaner appropriate for automotive fabric materials. When cleaning, use broad wiping motions with moderate pressure and a soft sponge or microfiber cloth. Avoid excessive scrubbing, which may damage the fabric surface.

Velcro fasteners, sharp accessories, metal objects, or rough clothing materials can snag or scratch the seat fabric. Avoid unnecessary contact between these items and the upholstery surface.

Taking preventative care of the fabric upholstery helps maintain the original appearance of the Kia EV6 cabin and improves long-term comfort.

Cleaning the upholstery and interior trim

Remove loose dirt and dust from the interior surfaces of your Kia EV6 using a soft brush or vacuum cleaner. If deeper cleaning is required, use warm water and a mild non-detergent cleaning solution. Always test any cleaning product in a hidden area before applying it to visible surfaces.

Remove loose dust and dirt from fabric surfaces with a vacuum cleaner or soft brush. Clean fabric materials using a mild soap solution recommended for automotive upholstery and carpeting.

Fresh stains should be removed immediately using a suitable fabric spot cleaner. Delayed cleaning may allow stains to become permanent and may negatively affect the appearance of the material.

Improper cleaning products or methods may affect the appearance, texture, and fire-resistant properties of upholstery materials. Always follow recommended cleaning procedures for the Kia EV6 interior.

Cleaning the lap/shoulder belt webbing

Clean the lap and shoulder belt webbing using a mild soap solution suitable for upholstery or carpet cleaning. Carefully follow the instructions supplied with the cleaning product.

Do not bleach, dye, or chemically alter the seat belt webbing. Such treatments may weaken the material and reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt system in the event of a collision.

Cleaning the lap and shoulder belt webbing

If the interior glass surfaces of the Kia EV6 develop an oily, greasy, or wax-like film, clean them using a quality automotive glass cleaner to restore visibility and clarity.
