agents to clean the cockpit.

ces:
stickers

Do not allow cosmetics, insect repellent or
sunscreen to come into contact with the
plastic trim. This maintains the high-quality
look of the surfaces.

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.

Cleaning the seat covers

General notes
!
Do not use a microfiber cloth to clean cov-
ers made out of real leather, artificial leather
or DINAMICA. If used often, these can dam-
age the cover.
Note that regular care is essential to ensure
that the appearance and comfort of the covers
is retained over time.

Genuine leather seat covers

!
To retain the natural appearance of the
leather, observe the following cleaning
instructions:
Clean genuine leather covers carefully
R
with a damp cloth and then wipe the cov-
ers down with a dry cloth.
Make sure that the leather does not
R
become soaked. It may otherwise become
rough and cracked.
Only use leather care agents that have
R
been tested and approved by Mercedes-
Benz. You can obtain these from a quali-
fied specialist workshop.
Leather is a natural product.
