Cleaning and care of vehicle
In operation, your vehicle is subjected to 
varying external influences which, if gone 
unchecked, can attack the paintwork as 
well as the undercarriage and cause last-
ing damage.
Such damage is caused not only by ex-
treme and varying climatic conditions, but 
also by:
Air pollution
Road salt
Tar, gravel and stone chipping
To avoid paint damage, you should imme-
diately remove:
Grease and oil
Fuel
Coolant
Brake fluid
Insects
Tree resins etc.
Frequent washing reduces and/or elimi-
nates the aggressiveness and potency of 
the above adverse influences.
More frequent washings are necessary to 
deal with unfavorable conditions, for ex-
ample:
Near the ocean
In industrial areas (smoke, exhaust 
emissions)
During winter operation
You should check your vehicle from time to 
time for stone chipping or other damage. 
Any damage should be repaired as soon as 
possible to prevent the start of corrosion.
In doing so, do not neglect the underside of 
the vehicle. A prerequisite for a thorough 
check is a washing of the undercarriage 
followed by a thorough inspection. Dam-
aged areas need to be reundercoated.
Your vehicle has been treated at the facto-
ry with a wax-base rustproofing in the body 
cavities which will last for the lifetime of 
the vehicle. Post-production treatment is 
neither necessary nor recommended by 
Mercedes-Benz because of the possibility 
of incompatibility between materials used 
in the production process and others ap-
plied later.
We have selected car-care products and 
compiled recommendations which are 
specially matched to our vehicles and 
which always reflect the latest technology. 
You can obtain Mercedes-Benz approved 
car-care products at your authorized 
Mercedes-Benz Center.
Warning!
G
Many cleaning products can be hazardous. 
Some are poisonous, others are flammable. 
Always follow the instructions on the partic-
ular container. Always open your vehicle’s 
doors or windows when cleaning the inside.
Never use fluids or solvents that are not de-
signed for cleaning your vehicle.
