Hand-wash
Prior to cleaning the engine compartment,
make sure to protect electrical compo-
nents and connectors from contact with
water and cleaning agents.
Do not use hot water or wash your vehicle
in direct sunlight.
!
Affixing stickers, magnets, adhesive tape or
similar materials to painted body components
may damage the paintwork.
̈
Only use a mild car wash detergent,
such as Mercedes-Benz approved Car
Shampoo.
Mercedes-Benz approved Paint Care
should be applied when water drops on the
paint surface do not “bead up”. This should
normally be done every 3 to 5 months, de-
pending on the climate and washing deter-
gent used.
Corrosion protection, such as
MB Anticorrosion Wax, should be applied
to the engine compartment after every
engine cleaning. Before applying, all
control linkage bushings and joints should
be lubricated. The poly-V-belt and all pul-
leys should be protected from any wax.
̈
Thoroughly spray the vehicle with a dif-
fused jet of water.
Direct only a very weak spray towards
the ventilation intake.
Mercedes-Benz approved Paint Cleaner
should be applied if the paint surface
shows signs of embedded dirt (i.e. loss of
gloss).
̈ Use plenty of water and rinse the
sponge and chamois frequently.
Vehicle washing
̈
Rinse with clean water and thoroughly
dry with a chamois.
In the winter, thoroughly remove all traces
of road salt as soon as possible.
Do not apply any of these products or wax
if your vehicle is parked in the sun or if the
hood is still hot.
Do not allow cleaning agents to dry on
the finish.
When washing the vehicle underbody, do
not forget to clean the inner sides of the
wheels.
̈
Use the appropriate MB-Touch-Up
Stick for quick and provisional repairs
of minor paint damage (i.e. chips from
stones, vehicle doors, etc.).
!
Do not use scouring agents on these parts.
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.
i Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO*:
If a door handle is hit by a strong jet of water, and
a SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO* is in close prox-
imity, i.e. within approximately 3 ft (approxi-
mately 1 m), the vehicle could be inadvertently
locked or unlocked.
Otherwise you may scratch or damage the paint.
