Cleaning and care of vehicle

While in operation, even while parked, your

vehicle is subjected to varying external

influences which, if gone unchecked, can

attack the paintwork as well as the

underbody and cause lasting damage.

Such damage is caused not only by

extreme and varying climatic conditions,

but also by:

앫 Air pollution

앫 Road salt

앫 Tar

앫 Gravel and stone chipping

To avoid paint damage, you should

immediately remove:

앫 Grease and oil

앫 Fuel

앫 Coolant

앫 Brake fluid

앫 Bird droppings

앫 Insects

앫 Tree resins, etc.

Frequent washing reduces and/or elimi-

nates the aggressiveness and potency of

the above adverse influences.

More frequent washings are necessary to

deal with unfavorable conditions:

앫 near the ocean

앫 in industrial areas (smoke, exhaust

emissions)

앫 during winter operation

You should check your vehicle from time to

time for stone chipping or other damage.

Any damage should be repaired as soon as

possible to prevent corrosion.

In doing so, do not neglect the underbody

of the vehicle. A prerequisite for a thor-

ough check is a washing of the underbody

followed by a thorough inspection. Dam-

aged areas need to be re-undercoated.

Your vehicle has been treated at the facto-

ry with a wax-base rustproofing in the body

cavities which will last for the lifetime of

the vehicle. Post-production treatment is

neither necessary nor recommended by

Mercedes-Benz because of the possibility

of incompatibility between materials used

in the production process and others

applied later.

Warning! G

Many cleaning products can be hazardous.

Some are poisonous, others are flammable.

Always follow the instructions on the partic-

ular 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.
