Interior care
Cleaning the steering wheel boss and
dashboard
G
Risk of injury
Do not use cleaners and cockpit care sprays
containing solvents to clean the cockpit and
steering wheel boss. Cleaners containing sol-
vents cause the surface to become porous
and in the event of an airbag being triggered,
plastic parts that have become loose could
cause considerable injuries.
X
Wipe the dashboard and steering wheel
boss with a damp, lint-free cloth (e.g. a
microfibre cloth) and cleaning agent.
X
Heavy soiling: use car care and cleaning
products recommended and approved by
Mercedes-Benz.

Clean the display surface using a commer-
cially-available microfibre cloth and TFT/
LCD display cleaner.

Dry the display surface using a dry micro-
fibre cloth.

For cleaning, do not use any of the fol-
lowing:
R
alcohol-based solvents or petrol

ing agents
These may damage the display surface. Do
not exert pressure when cleaning the dis-
play surface as this may lead to irreversible
damage.
Cleaning the seat covers
!
Do not use microfibre cloths to clean gen-
uine leather, artificial leather or Alcantara
covers, as these are too aggressive and, if
used often, may damage the cover.
!
You should clean:
R
genuine leather covers with a damp
cloth, then wipe the covers down with a
dry cloth. Make sure that the leather
does not become soaked. For leather
care, use a leather care agent recom-
mended by Mercedes-Benz. You can
obtain information about this from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.

artificial leather covers with a cloth mois-
tened with a solution containing 1%
