Engine Cleaning
If the vehicle has been run through an
automatic car wash -in particular one
of the older installations - rewipe the
recessed sections in the taillamps
(designed to prevent soiling) if
necessary. No solvents (fuels, thinners
etc.) must be used.
In the winter, thoroughly remove all
traces of road salt as soon as
possible.
Headlamp Cleaning System
Corrosion protection, such as MB
Anticorrosion Wax should be applied to
the engine compartment after every
engine cleaning. Before applying, all
control linkage bushings and joints
should be lubricated. The poly-V-belt
and all pulleys should be protected from
any wax.
The condition of the wiper blades is
important for satisfactory cleaning of
the headlamp lenses. We therefore
recommend that the blades be
inspected regularly.
Replace damaged wiper blades.
Plastic Parts, Headliner and
Rubber Parts
Car Washing
When washing the underbody, do not
forget to clean the inner sides of the
wheels.
Before washing your vehicle, remove
insect residues. MB Insect Remover is
recommended. Do not use hot water or
wash your car in direct sunlight. Use
only a mild car wash detergent, such as
MB Autoshampoo.
Do not use oil or wax on these
parts.
Tar Stains
Seat Belts
Quickly remove tar stains before they
dry and become more difficult to
remove. MB Tar Remover is
recommended.
The webbing must not be treated with
chemical cleaning agents. Use only
clear, lukewarm water and soap. Do
not dry the webbing at temperatures
above 176°F (80°C) or in direct
sunlight.
Thoroughly spray the car with a diffused
jet of water. Direct only a very weak
spray towards the ventilation intake. Use
plenty of water and rinse the sponge and
chamois frequently.
Window Cleaning
Use a window cleaning solution on
very dirty or oil-stained windows.
Warning!
Rinse with clear water and thoroughly
wipe dry with a chamois. Do not allow
cleaning agents to dry on the finish.
Before running the vehicle through an
automatic car wash, fold back the
outside mirrors to prevent them from
getting damaged.
Wiper Blades
Do not bleach or dye seat belts as this
may severely weaken them. In a
crash they may not be able to provide
adequate protection.
Clean the wiper blade rubber with a
clean cloth and detergent solution.
Replace blades twice a year; once
before and once after winter.
