Cleaning and C are of the Vehicle
W arning!
M any cleaning products can
be hazardous. Som e are
poisonous, others are fla m
mable. A lw ays follo w the
instructions on the particular
container. A lw ays open you r
car’s doors or w in d o w s when
cleaning the inside.
N ever use flu id s or solvents
that are not designed for
cleaning yo u r car.
In operation, your vehicle is
subjected to varying external
influences which, if gone un
checked, can attack the paint
w ork as well as the underbody
and cause lasting dam age.
Such dam age is caused not only
by extrem e and varying clim atic
conditions, but also by air p ol
lution, road salt, tar, gravel and
stone chipping. G rease and oil,
fuel, coolant, brake fluid, bird
droppings, insects, tree resins etc.
should be rem oved im m ediately to
avoid paint dam age. Frequent
w ashing reduces and/or elim inates
the aggressiveness and potency of
the above adverse influences.
More frequent w ashings are
necessary to deal with unfavorable
conditions; for exam ple, near the
ocean, in industrial areas (smoke,
exhaust em issions), or during
w inter operation.
You should check your vehicle
from tim e to tim e for stone chipping
or other dam age. A ny dam age
should be repaired as soon as
possible to prevent the start of
corrosion.
In doing so, do not neglect the
underside of the car. A prerequisite
for a thorough check is a washing
of the underbody follow ed by a
thorough inspection. Damaged
areas need to be reundercoated.
Y our vehicle has been treated at
the factory with a w ax-base rust-
proofing in the body cavities which
will 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 possibility of
incom patibility between m aterials
used in the production process and
others applied later.
W e have selected car care
products and com piled recom
m endations which are specially
m atched to our vehicles and which
alw ays reflect the latest te chn o
logy. You can obtain M ercedes-
Benz approved car care products

Scratches, corrosive deposits,

is best to seek aid at your a utho
