Cleaning the Sideguard Assist sensors
!
If you clean the sensors with a high-pressure
cleaner, make sure that you keep a distance
of at least 30 cm between the vehicle and the
high-pressure cleaner nozzle. Information
about the correct distance is available from
the equipment manufacturer.

High-pressure cleaning

WARNING
The water jet of circular-jet nozzles (dirt grind-
ers) can cause damage not visible from the
outside to tyres or chassis components. Com-
ponents damaged in this way can unexpect-
edly fail. There is a risk of an accident.
Do not use high-pressure cleaners with circu-
lar-jet nozzles to clean the vehicle. Have dam-
aged tyres or chassis components replaced
immediately.
!
Never use a high-pressure cleaner in the
vehicle interior. The pressurised water cre-
ated by the high-pressure cleaner and the
associated spray could cause considerable
damage to the vehicle.
®
!
The BlueTec
exhaust gas aftertreatment
system may only be cleaned when it is cool.
The sensors could otherwise be damaged.
When cleaning, make sure not to point the
water jet at the exhaust pipe. Otherwise, the
exhaust gas aftertreatment may be damaged.
Cleaning and care
!
When using a high-pressure cleaner, keep a
minimum distance of approximately 30 cm
between the high pressure nozzle and the
vehicle parts. Do not use a high-pressure
cleaner with a round jet nozzle. Parts of the
vehicle or engine can otherwise be damaged.
!
Keep the water jet moving constantly while
cleaning. In this way, you will avoid causing
damage.
Do not point the water jet at:
door joints
R
air bellows
R
brake hoses
R
wheel balance weights
R
electrical components
R
electrical connectors
R
seals

!
If your vehicle has Mercedes-Benz protec-
tive chassis sealing, do not use a high-pres-
sure cleaner. You could otherwise damage
the protective sealing.
Avoid deformation of the radiator core fins.
!
This ensures a constant cooling output.

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.
Automatic car wash
!
Before washing the vehicle in an automatic
car wash, fold in the exterior mirrors and
switch off the windscreen wipers. Otherwise,
the exterior mirrors and windscreen wipers
could be damaged.
Make sure that the exterior mirrors are fully
folded out again when you leave the auto-
matic car wash.
If the vehicle is very dirty, pre-wash it before you
put it through the automatic car wash.
After the automatic car wash, remove the wax
from the windscreen and the wiper blades. This
prevents smearing and reduces wiper noise,
which occur as a result of residue on the wind-
screen.
