Instruments and controls Operation Driving Instrument cluster display Practical hints Car care Technical data Index Cleaning and care of the vehicle Leather 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 discolored. By lining the seats with a proper intermediate cover, contact-discoloration will be prevented. Wipe leather upholstery with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly or clean with Mercedes-Benz approved Leather Care. Exercise particular care when cleaning perforated leather as its underside should not become wet. 268 Plastic and rubber parts Do not use oil or wax on these parts.
