moldings. Although ornamental moldings may
have chrome appearance, they could be made of
anodized aluminum that will be damaged when
cleaned with chrome cleaner. Instead, use a
damp cloth to clean those ornamental moldings.
Never apply strong force and only use a soft,
non-scratching cloth when cleaning the vehicle.
Do not attempt to wipe the surface with a dry
cloth or sponge.

Make sure that the windshield wiper switch
is set to 0 (୴ page 58). Otherwise, e.g. the rain
sensor could activate and cause the wipers to
move unintentionally. This may lead to vehicle
damage.
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 Light Truck Center.
Otherwise you may scratch or damage the paint.
Automatic car wash
Due to the width of the vehicle, fold in exterior
rear view mirrors prior to running the vehicle
through an automatic car wash to prevent
damage to the mirrors.
You can have your car washed in an auto-
matic car wash from the start. Automatic
car washes without brushes are prefera-
ble.
i After running the vehicle through an auto-
matic car wash, wipe any wax off of the wind-
shield (୴ page 319). This will prevent smears
and reduce wiping noise which can be caused by
residual wax on the windshield.
̈
To protect the filter system, switch the
climate control to air recirculation
mode (୴ page 183).
When leaving the car wash, make sure that the
mirrors are folded out. Otherwise they may
vibrate.
