Operation Vehicle care Seat belts Only use clear, lukewarm water and soap. Warning! G ! Wipe with light pressure to avoid damage to the upholstery. ! The seat belts must not be treated with chemical cleaning agents. Do not dry the seat belts at temperatures above 176°F (80°C) or in direct sunlight. Warning! G Only use seat or head restraint covers which have been tested and approved by Mercedes-Benz for your vehicle model. Using other seat or head restraint covers may interfere with or prevent the activation of the active head restraints. Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center for availability. Exercise particular care when cleaning perforated leather as its underside should not become wet. Wood trims Dampen cloth using water and use damp cloth to clean wood trims in your vehicle. Do not bleach or dye seat belts as this may severely weaken them. In a crash they may not be able to provide adequate protection. Leather upholstery Please note 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. ! Do not use solvents like tar remover or wheel cleaner nor polishes or waxes as these may be abrasive. 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. 364
