Cleaning the seat covers General notes
! Do not use
amicrofibre cloth to clean covers
made out of real leather, artificial leather or
DINAMICA. If used frequently, this can dam-
age the cover.
Note that regularc are is essential to make sure
that the appearance and comfort of the covers
are retained over time. Genuine leather seat covers
! To retain the natural appearance of the
leather, observe the following cleaning
instructions:
R Cleang enuine leather covers carefully with
ad amp cloth and then wipe the covers
down with adry cloth.
R Make sure that the leather does not
become soaked. It may otherwise become
rough and cracked.
R Only use leather care agents that have
been tested and approved by Mercedes-
Benz. You can obtain these from aqualified
specialist workshop.
Leather is anatural product.
It has natural surface properties, e.g.:
R unevenness in structure
R marks caused by growth and injury
R subtle colour differences
These are characteristics of leather and not
material faults.
Seat covers from other materials
! Observe the following when cleaning:
R clean artificial leather covers with acloth
moistened with asolution containing 1%
detergent (e.g. washing-up liquid).
R clean cloth covers with amicrofibre cloth
moistened with asolution containing 1%
detergent (e.g. washing-up liquid). Rub
carefully,a nd always wipe entire seat sec-
tions 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.
R CleanD INAMICA covers with adamp cloth.
Make sure that you wipe entire seat sec-
tions to avoid leaving visible lines.
Cleaning the seat belts G
WARNING
Seat belts may be severely weakened if
bleached or coloured. This may lead to the
seat belts, for example, tearing or failing in an accident. There is an increased risk of injury,
possibly even fatal.
Never bleach or colour seat belts. 332

however, fuel consumption may increase
slightly. Tyrep
ressure loss warning system
General notes While the vehicle is in motion
,the tyre pressure
loss warning system monitors the set tyre pres-
sure using the rotational speed of the wheels.
This enables the system to detect significant
pressure loss in atyre. If the speed of rotation of
aw heel changes as aresult of aloss of pressure,
ac orresponding warning message will appear in
the multifunction display.
You can recognise the tyre pressure loss warn-
ing by the Run Flat Indicator active
Run Flat Indicator active
Restart with OK Restart with OK message which appears in
the Service
Service menu of the multifunction display.
Information on the message display can be
found in the "Restarting the tyre pressure loss
warning system" section (Y page 358).
Important safety notes The tyre pressure warning system does not warn
you of an incorrectly set tyre pressure. Observe the notes on the recommended tyre pressure
(Y page 356).
The tyre pressure loss warning does not replace the need to regularly check the tyre pressures.
An even loss of pressure on several tyres at the
same time cannot be detected by the tyre pres-
sure loss warning system.
The tyre pressure monitor is not able to warn
you of asudden loss of pressure, e.g. if the tyre
is penetrated by aforeign object .Inthe event of
as udden loss of pressure, bring the vehicle to a
halt by braking carefully. Avoid abrupt steering
manoeuvres.
The function of the tyre pressure loss warning
system is limited or delayed if:
R snow chains are fitted to your vehicle's tyres.
R road conditions are wintry.
R you are driving on sand or gravel.
R you adopt avery sporty driving style (corner-
ing at high speeds or driving with high rates of
acceleration).
R you are towing avery heavy or large trailer. R
you are driving with aheavy load (in the vehi-
cle or on the roof).

X Before restarting, make sure that the tyre
pressures are set properly on all four tyres for
the respective operating conditions. The rec-
ommended tyre pressures can be found in the
tyre pressure table on the fuel filler flap.
The tyre pressure loss warning system can
only give reliable warnings if you have set the correc ttyre pressure. If an incorrect tyre
pressure is set, these incorrect values will be
monitored.

If the whee lpositions on the vehicl eare inter-
changed ,the tyre pressures may be displayed
for the wrong positions for ashort time. After a

positions.
Restarting the tyre pressure monitor When you restart the tyre pressure monitor, all
existing warning messages are deleted and the

rently set tyre pressures as the reference values
for monitoring. In most cases, the tyre pressure monitor willa utomatically detect the new refer-
ence values after you have changed the tyre
pressure. However, you can alsos et reference
values manually as described here. The tyre
pressure monitor then monitors the new tyre
pressure values.
