Cleaning the seat covers
General notes
!
Do not use a microfibre cloth to clean covers
made out of real leather, artificial leather or
DINAMICA. If used frequently, this can dam-
age the cover.
Note that regular care is essential to make sure
that the appearance and comfort of the covers
are retained over time.
Genuine leather seat covers
!
To retain the natural appearance of the
leather, observe the following cleaning
instructions:
R
Clean genuine leather covers carefully with
a damp cloth and then wipe the covers
down with a dry cloth.
R
Make sure that the leather does not
become soaked. It may otherwise become
rough and cracked.
R
Only use leather care agents that have
been tested and approved by Mercedes-
Benz. You can obtain these from a qualified
specialist workshop.
Leather is a natural product.
It has natural surface properties, e.g.:
R
unevenness in structure
R
marks caused by growth and injury
R
subtle colour differences
These are characteristics of leather and not
material faults.
Seat covers from other materials

clean artificial leather covers with a cloth
moistened with a solution containing 1%
detergent (e.g. washing-up liquid).

clean cloth covers with a microfibre cloth
moistened with a solution containing 1%
detergent (e.g. washing-up liquid). Rub

depend on the type of dirt and how long it
has been there.
