Cleaning and Care of the Vehicle
Upholstery
Leather: Wipe leather upholstery with
a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
Exercise particular care when clean­
ing perforated leather as its underside
should not become wet.
Velours: Pressure marks resulting
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 with a dry shampoo. Do not
sit on damp upholstery. Quick drying
is achieved by applying hot air — for
example, by using a hair dryer. If in
doubt, please consult your authorized
MERCEDES-BENZ dealer.
Paintwork
Do not apply wax if your car is parked
in the sun or if the hood is still hot.
For maximum protection, the paint­
w ork should be waxed approxim ately
once every three months. Use the
appropriate MERCEDES-BENZ
Touch-Up Stick fo r quick and provi­
sional repairs of m inor paint damage.
Light Alloy Wheels
If possible, clean wheels once a week
w ith lukewarm water and auto-sham ­
poo. Use an ample supply of water.
To remove stubborn marks, use
polish or paint cleaner and apply with
buffing cloth or a soft cloth.
Ornamental Moldings
(Chrome-Plated, Aluminium)
For regular cleaning and care of very
dirty chrom e-plated parts, use a
chrom e cleaner.
