Cleaning the seat covers
General notes
! Do not use microfibre cloths to clean gen-
uine leather, artificial leather or DINAMICA
covers. If used often, these can damage the
cover.
i
Note that regular care is essential to
make sure that the appearance and com-
fort of the covers are 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.
It has natural surface properties, e.g.:
unevenness in structure
R
marks caused by growth and injury
R
subtle colour differences
R
These are characteristics of leather and not
material faults.
Seat covers from other materials
! Observe the following when cleaning:
Clean artificial leather covers with a cloth
R
moistened with a solution containing 1%
detergent (e.g. washing-up liquid).
Clean cloth covers with a microfibre
R
cloth moistened with a solution contain-
ing 1% detergent (e.g. washing-up liquid).
Rub carefully, and always wipe entire
seat sections to avoid leaving visible
lines. Leave the seat to dry afterwards.
Cleaning results depend on the type of
dirt and how long it has been there.
Clean Alcantara® covers with a damp
R
cloth. Make sure that you wipe entire
