Protecting the leather for deterioration.
At the tannery, all leather is impregnated with "oils" to keep it flexible, your body heat, sunlight and car/central heating will evapourate these "oils", if not replenished the leather will crease, the longer it's neglected the sooner these creases become cracks.
Treat the leather with a leather conditioner to replace these lost nutrients. 3-4 times a year is advisable in a UK climate, but more often in a hot climate.
For cars parked in the sun, where the inside temperature can become extremely hot, treat the drivers seat every month, but in all cases don't apply too much conditioner in one go, little and often, well rubbed in, is far more effective.
Avoid conditioners which tell you to polish off or buff up after several minutes, they are telling you this because not all the product has soaked into the leather.
