approved by Mercedes-Benz after cleaning.
Cleaning the seat covers
! Microfibre cloths should not be used to
clean covers made from genuine or artificial
leather. The microfibre cloth can damage the
cover if used frequently.
! Clean:
R
artificial leather covers with a cloth mois-
tened with a solution containing 1% deter-
gent, e.g. washing-up liquid.
R
cloth covers with a microfibre cloth mois-
tened with a solution containing 1% deter-
gent, e.g. washing-up liquid. Wipe entire
seat sections carefully to avoid leaving visi-
ble lines. Leave the seat to dry afterwards.
Cleaning results depend on the type of dirt
and how long it has been there.
R
genuine leather covers carefully with a
damp cloth, then wipe the covers down
with a dry cloth. Make sure that the leather
does not become soaked. Otherwise, the
leather could become rough or cracked.
Only use leather care agents that have
been tested and approved by Mercedes-
Benz. You can obtain these from a qualified
specialist workshop.
Please note that:
R
leather covers are a natural product and are
therefore subject to a natural ageing process.
Leather can respond differently to certain
environmental influences (e.g. high humidity
or severe heat); for example, more strongly
defined folds can develop.
R
regular care is required if the look of the
leather covers and their touch and feel are to
be preserved in the long term.
Cleaning the seat belts
! Observe the following notes on cleaning the
seat belts:
R
remove any stains or dirt immediately. This
will avoid residue or damage.
R
do not bleach or dye the seat belts. This
could impair the function of the seat belts.
