Cleaning the Distronic* system sensor
cover
i After running the vehicle through an auto-
matic car wash, wipe any wax off of the wind-
shield (୴ page 337). This will prevent smears
and reduce wiping noise which can be caused by
residual wax on the windshield.
̈
Use a mild car wash detergent,
such as Mercedes-Benz approved
Car Shampoo, with plenty of water.
When leaving the car wash, make sure that the
mirrors are folded out. Otherwise they may
vibrate.
!
Only use window cleaning solutions that are
suitable for plastic lamp lenses. Window clean-
ing solutions which are not suitable may damage
the plastic lamp lenses of the headlamps. There-
fore, do not use abrasives, solvents or cleaners
that contain solvents.
Ornamental moldings
For regular cleaning and care of ornamen-
tal moldings, use a use damp cloth.
Never apply strong force and only use a soft,
non-scratching cloth when cleaning the lenses.
Do not attempt to wipe dirty lenses with a dry
cloth or sponge.

have chrome appearance, they could be made of
