Many cleaning products can be hazardous.
Some are poisonous, others are flammable.
Always follow the instructions on the partic-
ular container. Always open your vehicle’s
doors or windows when cleaning the inside.
Coolant
Your vehicle has been treated at the facto-
ry with a wax-base rustproofing 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 ap-
plied later.
Brake fluid
Insects
Tree resins, etc.
Never use fluids or solvents that are not de-
signed for cleaning your vehicle.
Frequent washing reduces and/or elimi-
nates the aggressiveness and potency of
the above adverse influences.
In operation, your vehicle is subjected to
varying external influences which, if gone
unchecked, can attack the paintwork as
well as the underbody and cause lasting
damage.
More frequent washings are necessary to
deal with unfavorable conditions:
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
