Cleaning the engine
! Observe the following notes when cleaning
the engine. This avoids malfunctions and
damage to the engine.
R
When using high-pressure or steam clean-
ers, do not point the spray directly at elec-
trical components and electric cables.
R
Make sure that no water enters the air
intake and ventilation openings.
R
Treat the engine with preservative agents
after it has been cleaned. When doing so,
protect the belt drive system from the pres-
ervative agent.
R
Only use wax-based protective agents for
engines that comply with Sheet No. 385.4
of the Mercedes-Benz Specifications for
Service Products.
! When using high-pressure or steam clean-
ers, do not point the spray directly at radiator
core fins, electrical components or electric
cable ends.
In addition, observe the notes in the "High-pres-
sure cleaning" section (
Y
page 353).
Cleaning light-alloy wheels
! When cleaning the light-alloy wheels, do not
use any acidic or alkaline cleaning agent. They
may corrode the wheel nuts or the locking
springs of the wheel balance weight.
! Do not point the water jet of high pressure or
steam cleaners directly at the balance
weights of the light-alloy wheel. They may
become detached and lead to imbalance and
increased tyre wear.
Clean the light-alloy wheels regularly.
In addition, observe the notes in the "High-pres-
sure cleaning" section (
Y
page 353).
Maintenance
Important safety notes
H
Environmental note
If circumstances require you to do some main-
tenance work yourself, you must observe the
environmental protection requirements.
When disposing of service products, e.g.
engine oil, you must comply with the legal
requirements. This also concerns all parts,
e.g. filters, that have been in contact with ser-
vice products.
Dispose of empty containers, cleaning cloths
and care products in an environmentally
responsible manner.
Observe the instructions for care products.
Do not let the engine run longer than neces-
sary when stationary.
Like all technical equipment, the vehicle
requires care and maintenance. The scope and
frequency of maintenance work mainly depend
on the operating conditions, which can differ
widely.
You must secure the vehicle on axle stands of
sufficient load-bearing capacity if work is being
carried out underneath the vehicle. Never use
the jack instead of stands. The jack could slip
and the vehicle could drop. the jack is designed
only to raise the vehicle for a short time, e.g.
while a wheel is being changed.
When working on the vehicle, comply with all
safety regulations, such as the operating
instructions, regulations concerning hazardous
materials, environmental protection measures,
work safety and accident prevention regula-
tions.
Inspection and maintenance work requires spe-
cial skills that cannot be acquired by reading
these Operating Instructions. Always have this
work and maintenance work carried out by a
qualified specialist workshop.
MS (maintenance system)
Introduction
The maintenance system calculates mainte-
nance due dates for the vehicle and its assem-
blies based on the vehicle's operating condi-
tions.
You can call up the maintenance due dates cal-
culated for the vehicle and its assemblies in the
on-board computer (
Y
page 147).
The on-board computer first displays the main-
tenance due date in the event window 14 days
before the respective maintenance date.
