Special service requirements
The prescribed service interval is based on nor-
mal operation of the vehicle. Service work will
need to be performed more often if the vehicle is
operated under arduous conditions or increased
loads, for example:
R
Regular city driving with frequent intermedi-
ate stops
R
If the vehicle is primarily used to travel short
distances
R
For frequent use in mountainous terrain or on
poor road surfaces
R
If the engine is often left idling for long periods
In these or similar operating conditions, have
the air filter, engine oil and oil filter, for example,
changed more frequently. The tyres must be
checked more frequently if the vehicle is oper-
ated under increased loads. Further information
can be obtained at a qualified specialist work-
shop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Driving abroad
An extensive Mercedes-Benz Service network is
also available in other countries. You can obtain
further information from any Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
Care
General notes
!
For cleaning your vehicle, do not use any of
the following:
R
dry, rough or hard cloths
R
abrasive cleaning agents
R
solvents
R
cleaning agents containing solvents
Do not scrub.
Do not touch the surfaces or protective films
with hard objects, e.g. a ring or ice scraper.
You could otherwise scratch or damage the
surfaces and protective film.
!
Do not park up your vehicle for a long period
of time immediately after cleaning, particu-
larly after cleaning the wheel rim with wheel
cleaner. Wheel cleaner may lead to increased
corrosion of the brake discs and pads. You
should therefore drive for a few minutes after
cleaning. By heating up the brakes, the brake
discs and pads dry. The vehicle can then be
parked up for a long period of time.
H
Environmental note
Dispose of empty packaging and cleaning
cloths in an environmentally responsible man-
ner.
Regular care of your vehicle is a condition for
retaining quality in the long term.
Use care products and cleaning agents recom-
mended and approved by Mercedes-Benz.

WARNING
Braking efficiency is reduced after the vehicle
has been washed. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
After washing the vehicle, brake carefully
while paying attention to the traffic conditions
in order to restore full braking efficiency.
!
When DISTRONIC PLUS or the HOLD func-
tion is activated, the vehicle brakes automat-
ically in certain situations.
To avoid damage to the vehicle, deactivate
DISTRONIC PLUS and the HOLD function in
the following or similar situations:
R
when towing away
R
in a car wash
!
Preferably use car washes with adjustable
high-pressure jets for pre-washing. This cor-
responds with the specifications for cabriolet
programmes. In car washes that use high
water pressures, there is a risk that a small
amount of water may leak into the vehicle.
!
Make sure that the vehicle is not subse-
quently treated with hot wax.
!
Always remove the key before washing the
vehicle in a car wash. Doing so ensures that
the wind deflector on the windscreen
retracts. The wind deflector may otherwise be
damaged.
