Do not use a dry cloth, abrasives, sol-

Do not touch the protective layer with
hard objects such as an ice scraper or
ring. Never apply strong force and only
use a soft, non-scratching cloth when
cleaning the rear part of the tilt/sliding
panel*.
Otherwise you may scratch or damage
the protective layer.
!
Only use acid-free cleaning materials.
Acid may cause corrosion or damage
the clear coat.
!
The vehicle should not be parked for an
extended period of time immediately
after it has been cleaned, especially not
after the wheel rims have been cleaned
with wheel rim cleaner. Wheel rim
cleaners can lead to increased corro-
sion of the brake disks and brake pads.
Therefore, the vehicle’s brake system
should always be warmed-up before it
is parked after cleaning. To do so,
please drive your vehicle for several
minutes to allow the brakes to dry.
When applying Mercedes-Benz ap-
proved Tire Care and Mercedes-Benz
approved Wheel Care products, take
care not to spray them on the brake
disks.
!
Do not use oil or wax on these parts.
!
To prevent scratches, do not use scour-
ing agents.
