Exterior care
Braking efficiency is reduced after washing
the vehicle. This could cause an accident. For
this reason, you must drive particularly
carefully after washing the vehicle until the
brakes have dried.
The vehicle is braked when the HOLD function
or DISTRONIC PLUS is activated. Therefore,
deactivate the HOLD function and DISTRONIC
PLUS before the vehicle is washed in an
automatic car wash.
You can wash the vehicle in an automatic car
wash from the very start.
!
It is preferable to use car washes with
adjustable
21
high-pressure precleaning. In
car washes that use high water pressures,
there is a risk that a small amount of water
may leak into the vehicle.
!
Never clean your vehicle in a Touchless
Automatic Car Wash as these use special
cleaning agents. These cleaning agents can
damage the paintwork or plastic parts.
If the vehicle is very dirty, pre-wash it before
cleaning it in an automatic car wash.
!
In car washes with a towing mechanism,
make sure that the automatic transmission
is in transmission position
N, otherwise the
vehicle could be damaged.
R
Vehicles with a SmartKey:
Do not remove the SmartKey from the
ignition lock. Do not open the driver's
door or front-passenger door when the
engine is switched off. Otherwise, the
automatic transmission selects park
position
P automatically and locks the
wheels. You can prevent this by shifting
the automatic transmission to
N
beforehand.
R
Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO:
Do not open the driver's door or front-
passenger door when the engine is
switched off. Otherwise, the automatic
transmission selects park position
P
automatically and locks the wheels.
Observe the following to make sure that the
automatic transmission stays in position
N:
X
Make sure the vehicle is stationary and the
ignition is switched off.
X
Turn the SmartKey to position
2 (
page 267) in the ignition lock.
Use the SmartKey instead of the Start/
Stop button on vehicles with KEYLESS-GO.
X
Depress and hold the brake pedal.
X
Shift the automatic transmission to
position
N.
X
Release the brake pedal.
X
Release the electric parking brake.
X
Switch off the ignition and leave the
SmartKey in the ignition lock.
!
Make sure that:
R
the side windows and the sliding sunroof
are fully closed.
R
the ventilation/heating is switched off
(the OFF button has been pressed).
R
the windshield wiper switch is in position
0.
Otherwise, the vehicle might be damaged.
After using an automatic car wash, wipe off
wax from the windshield and the wiper
blades. This will prevent smears and reduce
wiping noises caused by residue on the
windshield.
Carefully remove all deposits of road salt as
soon as possible when driving in winter.
