with a damp cloth and then wipe the
covers down with a dry cloth. Make sure
that the leather does not become
soaked. It may otherwise become rough
and cracked. Only use leather care
agents that have been tested and
approved by Mercedes-Benz. You can
obtain these from a qualified specialist
workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz Service
center.
R
clean artificial leather covers with a cloth
moistened with a solution containing 1%

Cleaning results depend on the type of
dirt and how long it has been there.
