Cleaning the exhaust pipe
G
WARNING
The exhaust tail pipe and tail pipe trim can
become very hot. If you come into contact
with these parts of the vehicle, you could burn
yourself. There is a risk of injury.
Always be particularly careful around the
exhaust tail pipe and the tail pipe trim. Allow
these components to cool down before touch-
ing them.
!
Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 vehicles with black
exhaust pipes: black chromed exhaust tips
should not be polished with a chrome polish.
They will otherwise lose their black shine. For
optimal care, the tips should be rubbed with a
lightly oiled cloth after every car wash. Com-
mercially available engine and care oils are
suitable for this.
For heavier soiling, you can apply a fine paint-
work polish with a microfibre cloth. Remove
the excess polish residue after polishing.
Impurities combined with the effects of road grit
and corrosive environmental factors may cause
flash rust to form on the surface. You can
restore the original shine of the exhaust pipe by
cleaning it regularly, especially in winter and
after washing the vehicle.
X
Clean the exhaust pipe with a chrome care
product tested and approved by Mercedes-
Benz.
