X Clean the display surface using a commercially-available microfiber cloth and TFT/LCD display cleaner. X Dry the display surface using a dry microfiber cloth. Wipe the plastic trim with a damp, lint-free cloth, e.g. a microfiber cloth. X Heavy soiling: use car care and cleaning products recommended and approved by Mercedes-Benz.

For cleaning, do not use any of the following: Ralcohol-based thinner or gasoline Rabrasive cleaning agents Rcommercially-available household cleaning agents These may damage the display surface. Do not put pressure on the display surface when cleaning. This could lead to irreparable damage to the display. Cleaning the plastic trim G Warning! When cleaning the steering wheel boss and dashboard, do not use cockpit sprays or cleaning agents containing solvents. Cleaning agents containing solvents cause the surface to become porous, and as a result, plastic parts may break away and be thrown around the interior when an air bag is deployed, which may result in severe injuries. Wash thoroughly with a damp cloth or use a leather care agent that has been recommended and approved by MercedesBenz. Cleaning real wood and trim strips X Wipe the wooden trim and trim strips with a damp, lint-free cloth, e.g. a microfiber cloth. X Heavy soiling: use car care and cleaning products recommended and approved by Mercedes-Benz. ! Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents such as tar remover, wheel cleaners, polishes or waxes. There is otherwise a risk of damaging the surface. ! Do not use chrome polish for trim strips. The trim strips 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 strips. Chrome polish can be used to remove very heavy soiling from trim strips which you are sure are made of chrome. If you are unsure as to whether a trim strip is chrome-plated or not, consult an authorized MercedesBenz 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. ! Do not affix the following to plastic surfaces: Rstickers Rfilms Rscented oil bottles or similar items 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.
