G Risk of injury
Do not use cleaners and cockpit care
sprays containing solvents to clean the
cockpit and steering wheel boss. Cleaners
containing solvents cause the surface to
become porous and in the event of an air-
bag being triggered, plastic parts that have
become loose could cause considerable
injuries.

Cleaning
Clean genuine leather covers using a
R
damp cloth, then wipe the covers down
using a dry cloth. When doing this, make
sure that the leather does not become
soaked. For leather care, you should use
leather care foam A 001 986 59 71 10.
You can purchase this from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Clean artificial leather covers with a cloth
R
moistened with a solution containing 1%
detergent (e. g. washing up liquid).
Clean fabric covers with a microfibre
R
cloth moistened with a solution contain-
ing 1% detergent (e.g. washing up liquid).
When cleaning, take care not to rub too
* optional
vigorously and always wipe entire seat
sections to avoid leaving visible lines.
Leave the seat to dry afterwards. Clean-
ing results depend on the type of dirt and
how long it has been there.
Clean Alcantara covers with a damp
R
cloth. Make sure you wipe entire seat
sections to avoid leaving visible lines.
i
Note that leather covers are subject to a
natural ageing process because they are a
natural product and may react in different
ways (e.g. increased formation of wrinkles)
to certain environmental influences (such
as high humidity, intense heat).
Note that regular care is essential to ensure
that the quality (both appearance and com-
fort) of the covers is retained over time.
Care of exhaust tail pipes (AMG vehi-
cles)
Impurities combined with the effects of road
grit and corrosive environmental factors may
cause flash rust to form on the surface.
Regular care of the exhaust tail pipes will
ensure that their original shine is restored.
!
Do not clean exhaust tail pipes with alka-
line-based cleaning agents such as wheel
cleaner.
Use the chrome cleaning agent recommen-
ded by Mercedes-Benz for cleaning. Infor-
mation about chrome cleaning agents can
be obtained from any Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
