Seat Belts
The webbing must not be treated
with chemical cleaning agents. Use
only clear, lukewarm water and
soap. Do not dry the webbing at
temperatures above 80° C/176° F
or in direct sunlight. Never bleach
or re-dye the webbing.
Steering Wheel, Instrument Cluster
and Selector Lever
Use a gentle dish-washing deter­
gent or mild detergent for delicate
fabrics as a washing solution. Wipe
with a cloth moistened in lukewarm
solution. Do not use scouring
agents.
Upholstery
Leather: Wipe leather upholstery
with a damp cloth and dry tho­
roughly. Exercise particular care
when cleaning perforated leather as
its underside should not become
wet.
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.
Cleaning and Care of the Vehicle
Light Alloy Wheels
If possible, clean wheels once a
week with lukewarm water and
autoshampoo (or MB Cleaner/Pre­
server). Use an ample supply of
water.
To remove stubborn marks, use
polish or paint cleaner and apply
with buffing cloth or a soft cloth.
Ornamental Moldings
(Chrome-Plated, Aluminium)
For regular cleaning and care of
very dirty chrome-plated parts, use
a chrome cleaner.
