Vehicle care

Engine cleaning

Prior to cleaning the engine compartment

make sure to protect electrical compo-

nents and connectors from the intrusion of

water and cleaning agents.

Corrosion protection, such as

MB Anticorrosion Wax, should be applied

to the engine compartment after every

engine cleaning. Before applying, all con-

trol linkage bushings and joints should be

lubricated. The poly-V-belt and all pulleys

should be protected from any wax.

Vehicle washing

In the winter, thoroughly remove all traces

of road salt as soon as possible.

When washing the vehicle underbody, do

not forget to clean the inner sides of the

wheels.

Hand-wash

Do not use hot water or wash your vehicle

in direct sunlight.

왘 Only use a mild car wash detergent,

such as Mercedes-Benz approved Car

Shampoo.

왘 Thoroughly spray the vehicle with a dif-

fused jet of water.

Direct only a very weak spray towards

the ventilation intake.

왘 Use plenty of water and rinse the

sponge and chamois frequently.

왘 Rinse with clean water and thoroughly

dry with a chamois.

Do not allow cleaning agents to dry on

the finish.

Automatic car wash

You can have your car washed in an auto-

matic car wash from the start. Automatic

car washes without brushes are prefera-

ble.

왘 To protect the filter system, switch the

climate control system (

컄 page 208) or

the automatic climate control system*

(

컄 page 222) to air recirculation mode.

If the vehicle is very dirty, prewash it

before running it through the automatic

car wash.

Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO*:

If a door handle is hit by a strong jet of water, and

a SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO* is in close

proximity, i.e. within approximately

3 ft (approximately 1 m), the vehicle could be

inadvertently locked or unlocked.

Do not use scouring agents on these parts.

Never apply strong force and only use a soft,

non-scratching cloth when cleaning the vehicle.

Do not attempt to wipe the surface with a dry

cloth or sponge.

Otherwise you may scratch or damage the paint.

Do not clean your vehicle in an automatic

touchless car wash which uses caustic spray.

Otherwise the caustic spray will damage the

paint or ornamental moldings.

Make sure that the windshield wiper switch

is set to 0 (

컄 page 60). Otherwise, the rain

sensor could activate and cause the wipers to

move unintentionally. This may lead to vehicle

damage.

Due to the width of the vehicle, fold in exterior

rear view mirrors prior to running the vehicle

through an automatic car wash to prevent

damage to the mirrors.
