Cleaning and Care of the Vehicle
Car Wash
Before washing your vehicle,
remove insect residues. The car
should not be washed in the sun.
Thoroughly spray the car with a dif­
fused jet of water. Direct only a
very weak spray towards the venti­
lation intake. Use plenty of water
and rinse the sponge and chamois
frequently. Rinse with clear water
and thoroughly wipe dry with a
chamois.
If the vehicle has been run through
an automatic car wash - in parti
cular one of the older installations-
rewipe the recessed sections provi­
ded in the tail lamps (for improved
prevention of soiling) if necessary.
No solvents (fuels, thinners etc.)
must be used.
In the winter, thoroughly remove all
traces of road salt as soon as pos­
sible.
When washing the car underbody,
do not forget to clean the inner
sides of the wheels.
Tar Stains
Q uickly remove tar stains before
they dry and become more difficult
to remove.
Window Cleaning
Use a window cleaning solution on
very dirty or oil-stained windows.
Clean windshield w iper blades with
a clean cloth and washing solution.
Replace blades once or tw ice a
year.
Plastic (Vinyl) and Rubber Parts
Do not use oil or wax on these
parts.
Seat Belts
The webbing must not be treated
with chemical cleaning agents. Use
only clear, lukewarm water and
soap. Do not dry the webbing at
temperatures above 80° C /1 76° F
or in direct sunlight. Never bleach
or re-dye the webbing.
Steering Wheel, Instrument Cluster
and Selector Lever
Use a gentle dish-washing deter­
gent or mild detergent for delicate
fabrics as a washing solution. Wipe
with a cloth moistened in lukewarm
solution. Do not use scouring
agents.
Upholstery
Leather: Wipe leather upholstery
with a damp cloth and dry th o ­
roughly. Exercise particular care
when cleaning perforated leather as
its underside should not become
wet.
Velours: Pressure marks resulting
from dampness and heat may
appear to be stains. Such marks
can be removed by wiping with a
moistened brush, ironing with a wet
cloth or by treating with a dry
shampoo. Do not sit on damp
upholstery. Q uick drying is
achieved by applying hot air - for
example, by using a hair dryer. If in
doubt, please consult your
MERCEDES-BENZ service station.
