Ornamental moldings
Headlamps, tail lamps, side markers,
turn signal lenses
!
Due to the width of the vehicle, fold in
exterior rear view mirrors prior to run-
ning the vehicle through an automatic
car wash to prevent damage to the
mirrors.
For regular cleaning and care of ornamen-
tal moldings, use a damp cloth.
̈ Use a mild car wash detergent, such as
Mercedes-Benz approved Car
Shampoo, with plenty of water.
!
Do not use chrome cleaner on orna-
mental moldings. Although ornamental
moldings may have chrome appear-
ance, they could be made of anodized
aluminum that will be damaged when
cleaned with chrome cleaner. Instead,
use a damp cloth to clean those orna-
mental moldings.
!
Make sure that the windshield wiper
switch is set to 0 (୴ page 54). Other-
wise, the rain sensor could activate and
cause the wipers to move unintention-
ally. This may lead to vehicle damage.
Only use window cleaning solutions
that are suitable for plastic lamp lens-
es. Window cleaning solutions which
are not suitable may damage the plas-
tic lamp lenses of the headlamps.
Therefore, do not use abrasives, sol-
vents or cleaners that contain solvents.
i
For very dirty ornamental moldings of
which you are sure are chrome-plated,
use a chrome cleaner. If in doubt
whether an ornamental molding is
chrome-plated, contact an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
After running the vehicle through an au-
tomatic car wash, wipe any wax off of
the windshield (୴ page 323). This will
prevent smears and reduce wiping
noise which can be caused by residual
wax on the windshield.
Never apply strong force and only use a
soft, non-scratching cloth when clean-
ing the lenses. Do not attempt to wipe
dirty lenses with a dry cloth or sponge.
Otherwise you may scratch or damage
the lens surface.
When leaving the car wash, make sure
that the mirrors are folded out. Other-
wise they may vibrate.
