Automatic car wash
If the vehicle is very dirty, pre-wash it before
you put it through an 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
windscreen.
! Fold in the exterior mirrors before driving
through an automatic car wash. Set the
windscreen wiper switch to the ª posi-
tion. The exterior mirrors and windscreen
wipers could otherwise be damaged.
Make sure that the exterior mirrors are fully
folded out again when you leave the auto-
matic car wash.
Cleaning the engine
! Observe the following notes when cleaning
the engine. This avoids malfunctions and
damage to the engine.
When using high-pressure or steam clean-
R
ers, do not point the spray directly at
electrical components and electric cables.
Make sure that no water enters the air
R
intake and ventilation openings.
Treat the engine with preservative agents
R
after it has been cleaned. When doing so,
protect the belt drive system from the
preservative agent.
Only use wax-based protective agents for
R
engines that comply with Sheet No. 385.4
of the Mercedes-Benz Specifications for
Service Products.

Important safety notes

Environmental note
If circumstances require you to do some
maintenance work yourself, you must
observe the environmental protection
requirements. When disposing of service
products, e.g. engine oil, you must comply
with the legal requirements. This also con-
cerns all parts, e.g. filters, that have been in
contact with service products.
Dispose of empty containers, cleaning
cloths and care products in an environmen-
tally responsible manner.
Observe the instructions for care products.
Do not let the engine run longer than neces-
sary when stationary.
Like all technical equipment, the vehicle
requires care and maintenance. The scope and
frequency of maintenance work mainly depend
on the operating conditions, which can differ
widely.
You must secure the vehicle on axle stands of
sufficient load-bearing capacity if work is being
carried out underneath the vehicle. Never use
the jack instead of stands. The jack could slip
and the vehicle could drop. the jack is
designed only to raise the vehicle for a short
time, e.g. while a wheel is being changed.
When working on the vehicle, comply with all
safety regulations, such as the operating
instructions, regulations concerning hazardous
materials, environmental protection measures,
work safety and accident prevention regula-
tions.
Inspection and maintenance work requires
special skills that cannot be acquired by read-
ing these Operating Instructions. Always have
this work and maintenance work carried out
by a qualified specialist workshop.
