Environmental note
Only wash your vehicle at a wash bay
designed for this purpose. Dispose of empty
containers and used cleaning products in an
environmentally responsible manner.
Regular care helps to maintain the value of

nance, in particular when the vehicle is sub-
ject to arduous operation conditions, can be
found in the "Tips on maintaining the value of
your vehicle" supplement.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you only
use care products that have been approved
for Mercedes-Benz. These care products can

Centre.
If you need to wash upper parts of the vehicle,
always use a suitable ladder or another non-
slip climbing aid.
