Cleaning and Care of the Vehicle
Warning!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Never use fluids or solvents that are
not designed for cleaning your car.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
