Cleaning and Care of the Vehicle
Upholstery
Leather: Wipe leather upholstery
with a damp cloth and dry th o r­
oughly. Exercise particular care
when cleaning perforated leather
as its underside should not be­
come wet.
Velours: Pressure marks result­
ing from dampness and heat
may appear to be stains. Such
marks can be removed by wiping
with a moistened brush, ironing
with a w et cloth or by treating
w ith a dry shampoo. Do not sit on
damp upholstery. Quick drying
is achieved by applying hot air —
fo r example, by using a hair
dryer. If in doubt, please consult
your MERCEDES-BENZ service
station.
Paintwork
Do not apply wax if your car is
parked in the sun or if the hood is
still hot. For maximum protection,
the paintw ork should be waxed
approxim ately once every three
months. Use the appropriate
MERCEDES-BENZ Touch-Up Stick
for quick and provisional repairs
of m inor paint damage.
Ornamental Moldings (Chrome-
Plated, Aluminum)
For regular cleaning and care of
very dirty chrom e-plated parts, use
a chrome cleaner.
