Warning!
aggressiveness and potency of the
above adverse influences.
We have selected car care products and
compiled recommendations which are
specially matched to our vehicles and
which always reflect the latest
technology. You can obtain Mercedes-
Benz approved, car care products at
your authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer.
More frequent washings are necessary
to deal with unfavorable conditions; for
example, near the ocean, in industrial
areas (smoke, exhaust emissions), or
during winter operation.
Many cleaning products can be
hazardous. Some are poisonous,
others are flammable. Always follow
the instructions on the particular
container. Always open your car's
doors or windows when cleaning the
inside.
Scratches, corrosive deposits, corrosion
or damage due to negligent or incorrect
care cannot always be removed or
repaired with the car care products
recommended here. In such cases it is
best to seek aid at your authorized
Mercedes-Benz dealer.
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
the start of corrosion.
Never use fluids or solvents that are
not designed for cleaning your car.
In operation, your vehicle is subjected
to varying external influences which, if
gone unchecked, can attack the paint-
work as well as the underbody and
cause lasting damage.
In doing so, do not neglect the
underside of the car. A prerequisite for a
thorough check is a washing of the
underbody followed by a thorough
inspection. Damaged areas need to be
re-undercoated.
The following topics deal with the
cleaning and care of your vehicle and
give important "how-to" information as
well as references to Mercedes-Benz
approved car care products.
Such damage is caused not only
by extreme and varying climatic
conditions, but also by air pollution,
road salt, tar, gravel and stone
chipping. Grease and oil, fuel, coolant,
brake fluid, bird droppings, tree resins
etc. should be removed immediately to
avoid paint dam age. Frequent washing,
however, reduces and/or eliminates the
Your vehicle has been treated at the
factory with a wax-base rust-proofing 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.

the booklet titled "Car Care".
