Cup holder
Use a gentle dishwashing detergent or mild detergent 
for delicate fabrics as a washing solution. Wipe with a 
cloth moistened in lukewarm solution. Do not use 
scouring agents.
Seat belts
The webbing must not be treated with chemical 
cleaning agents. Use only clear, lukewarm water and 
soap. Do not dry the webbing at temperatures above 
176
°F (80°C) or in direct sunlight.
Hard plastic trim items
Pour Mercedes-Benz approved Interior Care onto soft 
lint-free cloth and apply with light pressure.
Headliner and shelf below rear window
Clean with soft bristle brush, or use a dry-shampoo 
cleaner in case of excessive dirt.
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.
Leather Upholstery
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.
MB Tex Upholstery
Pour Mercedes-Benz approved Interior Care onto soft 
lint-free cloth and apply with light pressure.
Plastic and rubber parts
Do not use oil or wax on these parts.
Warning!
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.
