turn signal lenses
Use a mild car wash detergent, such as
Mercedes-Benz approved Car
Shampoo, with plenty of water.

Only use window cleaners that are suit-
able for plastic lamp lenses. Window
cleaners which are not suitable may
damage the plastic lamp lenses of the
headlamps. Therefore, do not use abra-
sives, solvents or cleaners that contain
solvents.
Never apply strong force and use only a
soft, non-scratchy cloth when cleaning
the lenses. Do not attempt to wipe dirty
lenses with a dry cloth or sponge.
Otherwise you may scratch or damage
the lens surface.

tical position before folding them away

wise damage the hood.
