used. Use a damp, lint-free cloth instead
when cleaning the trim strips.

as to whether a trim strip is chrome-plated
or not, consult an authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center.
Cleaning the seat covers
!
Do not use microfiber cloths to clean
genuine leather, artificial leather or
Alcantara

covers. If used often, these can
damage the cover.
!
Observe the following when cleaning:
R
clean genuine leather covers carefully
with a damp cloth and then wipe the
covers down with a dry cloth. Make sure
that the leather does not become
soaked. It may otherwise become rough
and cracked. Only use leather care
agents that have been tested and
approved by Mercedes-Benz. You can
obtain these from a qualified specialist
workshop, e.g. an authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center.
R
clean artificial leather covers with a cloth
moistened with a solution containing 1%
detergent (e.g. dish washing liquid).
R
clean cloth covers with a microfiber cloth
moistened with a solution containing 1%
detergent (e.g. dish washing 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.

cloth. Make sure you wipe entire seat
sections to avoid leaving visible lines.

Note that regular care is essential to
ensure that the appearance and comfort of
the covers is retained over time.
