M any cleaning products can
be hazardous. S o m e are

cleaning th e inside.
N ever use fluids or solvents
that are not d esig n ed for
c leaning your car.
In operation, your ve hicle is
subjected to varying external
influ en ces w hich, if gone un ­
checked, can attack the p aint­
w ork as w ell as the underbody
and cause lasting dam age.
Such dam age is caused not only
by extrem e and varying clim a tic
cond itio ns, but also by air p ol­
lution, road salt, tar, gravel and
stone ch ip p in g . G rease and oil,
fuel, coolant, brake fluid, bird
d ro pp ing s, tree resins etc. should
be rem oved im m e diately to avoid
paint dam age. F requent w ashing,
how ever, reduces a n d /o r
e lim in a tes the a ggressiveness and
potency of the above adverse in­
fluences.
M ore frequent w ash ing s are
n ecessary to deal with u nfavor­
able cond itio ns; for exam ple, near
the ocean, in industrial areas
(sm oke, exhaust em issions), or
d urin g w inter operation.
You should ch eck your vehicle
from tim e to tim e for stone
c h ip pin g or other dam age. Any
dam age should be repaired as
soon as possible to prevent the
start of corrosion.
In doing so, do not neglect the
und erside of the car. A p rere­
q uisite for a thorough ch eck is a
w ashing of the underbody fo l­
lowed by a thorough inspection.
D am aged areas need to be re­
undercoated.
Your ve hicle has been treated at
the factory w ith a w ax-base
rustproofing in the body cavities
w hich w ill last for the lifetim e of
the vehicle. Post-production
treatm ent is neither necessary nor
recom m ended by M ercedes-Benz
because of the p ossibility of
