Cleaning the display

! For cleaning, do not use any of the fol-
lowing:
alcohol-based thinner or gasoline
R
abrasive cleaning agents
R
commercially-available household clean-
R
ing agents
These may damage the display surface. Do
not put pressure on the display surface
when cleaning. This could lead to irrepara-
ble damage to the display.
Before cleaning the display, make sure that
X
it is switched off and has cooled down.
Clean the display surface using a commer-
X
cially available microfiber cloth and
TFT/LCD display cleaner.
Dry the display surface using a dry micro-
X
fiber cloth.

Cleaning the plastic trim

G WARNING
Care products and cleaning agents containing
solvents cause surfaces in the cockpit to
become porous. As a result, plastic parts may
come loose in the event of air bag deploy-
ment. There is a risk of injury.
Do not use any care products and cleaning
agents to clean the cockpit.
! Do not affix the following to plastic surfa-
ces:
stickers
R
films
R
scented oil bottles or similar items
R
You can otherwise damage the plastic.
! 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.
Wipe the plastic trim with a damp, lint-free
X
cloth, e.g. a microfiber cloth.
Heavy soiling: use care and cleaning prod-
X
ucts recommended and approved by
Mercedes-Benz.
The surface may change color temporarily.
Wait until the surface is dry again.
Cleaning the steering wheel and gear or

selector lever

Thoroughly wipe with a damp cloth or use
X
leather care agents that have been recom-
mended and approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Cleaning genuine wood and trim ele-
ments
! Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents
such as tar remover, wheel cleaners, pol-
ishes or waxes. There is otherwise a risk of
damaging the surface.
! Do not use chrome polish on trim pieces.
The trim pieces have a chrome look but are
mostly made of anodized aluminum and
can lose their shine if chrome polish is
used. Use a damp, lint-free cloth instead
when cleaning the trim pieces.
If the chrome-plated trim pieces are very
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.
Wipe the wooden trim and trim pieces with
X
a damp, lint-free cloth, e.g. a microfiber
cloth.
Heavy soiling: use care and cleaning prod-
X
ucts recommended and approved by
Mercedes-Benz.
