!
Do not use wash programs with a hot wax
treatment under any circumstances.
Observe these notes if your vehicle has a clear,
matt finish. This will help you to avoid damage to
the paintwork due to incorrect treatment.
These notes also apply to light-alloy wheels with
a clear matt finish.
The vehicle should preferably be washed by
hand using a soft sponge, car shampoo and
plenty of water.
Use only insect remover and car shampoo from
the range of approved Mercedes-Benz care
products.
Cleaning vehicle parts
Cleaning the convertible top
!
Never use any of the following to clean the
soft top:
petrol
R
thinner
R
tar or stain remover
R
other organic solvents
R
!
Remove bird droppings immediately as they
are corrosive and, therefore, can make the
soft-top fabric leak. Do not use high-pressure
cleaning equipment to clean the vehicle. Do
not use sharp-edged equipment to remove ice
and snow.
Light soiling: you can clean the soft top while
X
it is dry or rinse it with clean water.
Normal to heavy soiling: clean the soft top
X
with a brush and clean water. Clean stains
and other dirt with a brush and soft-top clean-
ing agents recommended and approved by
Mercedes-Benz. Always brush from front to
back in the direction of the fabric.
Frequent cleaning reduces the soft top's resist-
ance to dirt.
To restore this resistance to dirt, clean the soft
top using soft-top cleaning agents that have
been recommended and approved by
Mercedes-Benz.
Incorrect cleaning and care, as well as ageing,
can cause the soft-top seams to leak. In such a
case, have the soft-top seams sealed at a quali-
fied specialist workshop, e.g. at your Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre.
Cover the soft top appropriately if you plan to
leave the vehicle outside for a long period of
time.
