Do not use chrome polish on trim pieces.
The trim pieces have a chrome look but are
mostly made of anodized aluminum and can
lose their shine if chrome polish is used. Use
a damp, lint-free cloth instead when cleaning
the trim pieces.
If the chrome-plated trim pieces are very
dirty, you can use a chrome polish. If you are
unsure as to whether the trim pieces are
chrome-plated or not, consult an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
Wipe the trim elements with a damp, lint-free
X
cloth, e.g. a microfiber cloth.
Heavy soiling: use care and cleaning prod-

ucts recommended and approved by
Mercedes-Benz.
