Care

General notes

G

WARNING

Many cleaning products can be hazardous.

Some are poisonous, others are flammable.

Always follow the instructions on the

particular container. Always open your

vehicle's doors or windows when cleaning the

inside.
Never use fluids or solvents that are not

designed for cleaning your vehicle.
Always lock away cleaning products and keep

them out of reach of children.

!

For cleaning your vehicle, do not use any

of the following:

R

dry, rough or hard cloths

R

abrasive cleaning agents

R

solvents

R

cleaning agents containing solvents

Do not scrub.
Do not touch the surfaces or protective

films with hard objects, e.g. a ring or ice

scraper. You could otherwise scratch or

damage the surfaces and protective film.

!

Do not park the vehicle for an extended

period straight after cleaning it, particularly

after having cleaned the wheels with wheel

cleaner. Wheel cleaners could cause

increased corrosion of the brake discs and

brake pads/linings. For this reason, you

should drive for a few minutes after

cleaning. Braking heats the brake discs and

the brake pads/linings, thus drying them.

The vehicle can then be parked.

H

Environmental note

Dispose of empty packaging and cleaning

cloths in an environmentally responsible

manner.

Regular care of your vehicle is a condition for

retaining the quality in the long term.
Use care products and cleaning agents

recommended and approved by Mercedes-

Benz.

the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
After the vehicle has been washed, brake

carefully while paying attention to the traffic

Automatic Car Wash as these use special

cleaning agents. These cleaning agents can

damage the paintwork or plastic parts.

!

Make sure that the automatic car wash is

suitable for the size of the vehicle. Fold in

the exterior mirrors before the vehicle is

washed. The exterior mirrors could

otherwise be damaged.

Make sure that the automatic

transmission is in position N when washing

your vehicle in a tow-through car wash. The
