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.

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.

detection range of KEYLESS-GO, the

following situations, for example, could

lead to the unintentional opening of the

trunk lid/tailgate:
