Cleaning and Care of the Vehicle

Upholstery

Leather: Wipe  leather upholstery 

with  a damp cloth  and  dry thor­

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 wet 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 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 paintwork should  be waxed

approximately once  every three 

months.  Use the appropriate 
MERCEDES-BENZ Touch-Up Stick 

for quick and  provisional  repairs 

of minor paint damage.

Ornamental Moldings (Chrome-

 

Plated, Aluminum)

For regular cleaning  and  care of 
very dirty chrome-plated parts, use 

a chrome cleaner.
