Cleaning and Care of the Vehicle
the newest in technological stan­
ding. You can obtain MB car-care
products at every MERCEDES-BENZ
service station.
Scratches, corrosive deposits,
corrosion or damage due to negli­
gent or incorrect care cannot always
be removed with the car-care
products recommended here. In
such cases it is best to seek aid at
your MERCEDES-BENZ service
station.
The following topics deal with the
cleaning and care of your vehicle
and give important “how-to” infor­
mation as well as references to
recommended MB car-care
products.
Car Washing
Before washing your vehicle,
remove insect residues. The car
should not be washed in the sun.
Use only a mild car wash detergent,
such as MB auto shampoo.
Thoroughly spray the car with a dif­
fused jet of water. Direct only a very
weak spray towards the ventilation
intake. Use plenty of water and rinse
the sponge and chamois frequently.
Rinse with clear water and tho­
roughly 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
provided in the tail lamps (for im­
proved prevention of soiling) if
necessary. No solvents (fuels, thin-
ners etc.) must be used.
In the winter, thoroughly remove all
traces of road salt as soon as
possible.
When washing the underbody, do
not forget to clean the inner sides
of the wheels.
Tar Stains
Quickly 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 wiper blades with
a clean cloth and detergent solution.
Replace blades at least once or
twice a year.
Plastic Parts, Headliner
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 /176° 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.
