Upholstery
Using aftermarket seat covers or wearing
clothing that have the tendency to give off
coloring (e.g. when wet, etc.) may cause
the upholstery to become permanently dis-
colored. By lining the seats with a proper
intermediate cover, contact-discoloration
will be prevented.
Leather upholstery*
Please not that leather upholstery is a
natural product and is therefore subject to
a natural aging process. Leather
upholstery may also react to certain
ambient influences such as high humidity
or high temperature by showing wrinkles
for example.
̈ Wipe leather upholstery with a damp
cloth and dry thoroughly or clean with
Mercedes-Benz approved Leather
Care.
MB Tex upholstery
̈ Use Mercedes-Benz approved Interior
Care onto a soft, lint-free cloth and
apply with light pressure for cleaning
the upholstery.
Wood trims
̈ Dampen cloth using water and use
damp cloth to clean wood trims in your
vehicle.
Warning! G
Only use seat or head restraint covers which
have been tested and approved by
Mercedes-Benz for your vehicle model.

!
To avoid damage to leather upholstery:
ț Wipe with light pressure only.
ț Do not clean with abrasive cleaning agents
such as scouring milk or powder.
ț Do not soak the leather upholstery.
As leather is a natural product, it could
otherwise harden or become porous.
ț Exercise particular care when cleaning
perforated leather as its underside should
not become wet.
!
Do not use solvents like tar remover or
wheel cleaner nor polishes or waxes as these
may be abrasive.
