Cleaning the seat covers
General notes

genuine leather, artificial leather or
Alcantara® covers. If used often, these can
damage the cover.

Genuine leather seat covers

These are characteristics of leather and not
material defects.
! 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
covers 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
qualified specialist workshop.
Seat covers of other materials

Clean artificial leather covers with a cloth
