Vehicle care
the car-care products recommended here.
In such cases it is best to seek aid at your
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Paintwork, painted body components
!
Never use a round nozzle to power
wash tires. The intense jet of water can
result in damage to the tire.
Mercedes-Benz approved Paint Care
should be applied when water drops on the
paint surface do not “bead up”, normally
every 3 to 5 months, depending on climate
and washing detergent used.
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 prod-
ucts.
Always replace a damaged tire.
Always keep the jet of water moving
across the surface. Do not aim directly
at electrical parts, electrical connec-
tors, seals, or other rubber parts.
Mercedes-Benz approved Paint Cleaner
should be applied if the paint surface
shows signs of embedded dirt (i.e. loss of
gloss).
Additional information can be found in the
booklet “Vehicle Care Guide“.
Tar stains
Do not apply any of these products or wax
if your vehicle is parked in the sun or if the
hood is still hot.
Power washer
Quickly remove tar stains before they dry
and become more difficult to remove. A tar
remover is recommended.
When using a power washer for cleaning
the vehicle always observe the manufac-
turer’s operating instructions.
Use the appropriate MB-Touch-Up Stick
for quick and provisional repairs of minor
paint damage (i.e. chips from stones, vehi-
cle doors etc.).
i
Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO*:
If a door handle is hit by a strong jet of
water, and a KEYLESS-GO* card is in
close proximity, i.e. within approx. 3 ft.
Engine cleaning
Prior to cleaning the engine compartment
make sure to protect electrical compo-
nents and connectors from contact with
water and cleaning agents.
(
approx. 1 m), the vehicle could be in-
advertently locked or unlocked.
