Notes on care of car parts
& WARNING Risk of entrapment if the wind-
screen wipers are switched on while the
windscreen is being cleaned
If the windscreen wipers are set in motion
while you are cleaning the windscreen or
wiper blades, you can be trapped by the wiper
arm.
Always switch off the windscreen wipers
#
and the vehicle before cleaning the wind-
screen or wiper blades.
To avoid damage to the vehicle, observe the notes
on cleaning and care of the following car parts:
Wheels and rims
Use water and acid-free alloy wheel cleaners.
R
Do not use acidic alloy wheel cleaners to
R
remove brake dust. This could damage wheel
bolts and brake components.
To avoid corrosion of the brake disks and
R
brakepads, drive the vehicle for a few minutes
after cleaning before parking it. The brake
disks and brakepads will warm up and dry out.
Windows
* NOTE Damage to electronic components
due to excess fluids
When cleaning the windows from the inside,
fluids such as cleaning agents or water may
run down and get behind trim parts of the
vehicle interior and cause damage to elec-
tronic components.
Use cleaning agents as sparingly as pos-
#
sible.
Maintenance and care 315
Immediately absorb any excess fluids.
#
Clean the windows inside and outside with a
R
damp cloth and with a cleaning agent recom-
mended for Mercedes-Benz.
Do not use dry cloths or abrasive or solvent-
R
based cleaning agents to clean the insides of
windows.
%
After changing the wiper blades or treating
the vehicle with wax, clean the windscreen
thoroughly with cleaning agents recommen-
ded for Mercedes-Benz. Failure to observe the
application instructions may result in damage,
smear marks or dazzling spots.
%
Remove external fogging or dirt on the wind-
screen in front of the multifunction camera.
Otherwise, driving systems and driving safety
systems may be impaired or unavailable
( page 182).
