Cleaning the plastic trim
G WARNING
When cleaning the steering wheel boss and
dashboard, do not use cockpit sprays or
cleaning agents containing solvents. Cleaning
agents containing solvents cause the surface
to become porous, and as a result plastic
parts may break away and be thrown around
the interior when an airbag is deployed, which
may result in severe injuries.
!
Do not affix the following to plastic surfa-
ces:
R
stickers
R
films
R
scented oil bottles or similar items
You could otherwise damage the plastic.
!
Do not allow cosmetics, insect repellent
or sunscreen to come in contact with the
plastic trim. This maintains the high-quality
look of the surfaces.
X
Wipe the plastic trim with a damp, lint-free
cloth, e.g. a microfibre cloth.
X
Heavy soiling: use car care and cleaning
products recommended and approved by
Mercedes-Benz.
The surface may change colour tempora-
rily. Wait until the surface is dry again.
Cleaning the steering wheel and gear or
selector lever
X
Thoroughly wipe with a damp cloth or use
leather care agents that have been recom-
mended and approved by Mercedes-Benz.
