Mercedes-benz E-Cabriolet 2015 User Manual download pdf (Page 315)

You can wash the vehicle in an automatic car

wash from the very start.

If the vehicle is very dirty, pre-wash it before

cleaning it in an automatic car wash.

After using an automatic car wash, wipe off

wax from the windshield and the wiper

blades. This will prevent smears and reduce

wiping noises caused by residue on the wind-

shield.

Washing by hand

In some countries, washing by hand is only

allowed at specially equipped washing bays.

Observe the legal requirements in all coun-

tries concerned.

WARNING

The water jet from a circular jet nozzle (dirt

blasters) can cause invisible exterior damage

to the tires or chassis components. Compo-

nents damaged in this way may fail unexpect-

edly. There is a risk of an accident.

Do not use power washers with circular jet

nozzles to clean the vehicle. Have damaged

tires or chassis components replaced imme-

diately.

!

Always maintain a distance of at least

11.8in (30cm) between the vehicle and the

power washer nozzle. Information about

the correct distance is available from the

equipment manufacturer.
