Mercedes-Benz GLC : Cleaning and care / Notes on care of the interior

WARNING Risk of injury from plastic parts breaking off after the use of solvent- based care products

Care and cleaning products containing solvents can cause surfaces in the cockpit to become porous. When the airbags are deployed, plastic parts may break away.

Do not use any care or cleaning products containing solvents to clean the cockpit.
