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

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.

not designed for cleaning your car.
In operation, your vehicle is subjected
to varying external influences which, if
gone unchecked, can attack the paint-

cause lasting damage.

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.

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.
