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.

WARNING

You could become trapped by the windshield

wipers if they start moving while cleaning the

Always switch off the windshield wipers and

Clean the water drainage channels of the

windshield and the rear window at regular

intervals. Deposits such as leaves, petals

windows with a damp cloth and a cleaning

product that is recommended and

approved by Mercedes-Benz.
