Always maintain a distance of at least

11.8 in (30 cm) between the vehicle and the

power washer nozzle. Information about the

correct distance is available from the equip-

ment manufacturer.

Move the power washer nozzle around when

cleaning your vehicle.

Do not aim directly at any of the following:

tires

door gaps, roof gaps, joints, etc.

electrical components

battery

plug-type couplings

lights

seals

trim

ventilation slots

Damaged seals or electrical components can

lead to leaks or failures.

Vehicles with decorative foil: parts of your

vehicle are covered with decorative foil. Main-

tain a distance of at least 27.5 in (70 cm)

between the foil-wrapped parts of the vehicle

and the nozzle of the high pressure cleaner.

Information about the correct distance is

available from the equipment manufacturer.

Move the power washer nozzle around when

cleaning your vehicle.

The water temperature of the high-pressure

cleaner must not exceed 140 °F (60 °C).

Cleaning the paintwork

Do not affix:

stickers

films

magnetic plates or similar items

to painted surfaces. You could otherwise

damage the paintwork.

Scratches, corrosive deposits, areas affected by

corrosion and damage caused by inadequate

care cannot always be completely repaired. In

such cases, visit a qualified specialist workshop.

Remove dirt immediately, where possible,

while avoiding rubbing too hard.

Soak insect remains with insect remover and

rinse off the treated areas afterwards.

Soak bird droppings with water and rinse off

the treated areas afterwards.

Remove coolant, brake fluid, tree resin, oils,

fuels and greases by rubbing gently with a

cloth soaked in petroleum ether or lighter

fluid.

Use tar remover to remove tar stains.

Use silicone remover to remove wax.

If water no longer forms "beads" on the paint

surface, use the paint care products recommen-

ded and approved by Mercedes-Benz. This is the

case approximately every three to five months,

depending on the climate conditions and the

care product used.

If dirt has penetrated the paint surface or if the

paint has become dull, the paint cleaner recom-

mended and approved by Mercedes-Benz

should be used.

Do not use these care products in the sun or on

the hood while the hood is hot.

Use a suitable touch-up stick, e.g. MB Touch-

Up Stick, to repair slight damage to the paint-

work quickly and provisionally.

Matte finish care

Never polish the vehicle or the light alloy

wheels. Polishing causes the finish to shine.

The following can give the paint a glossy

appearance and thus reduce the matt effect:

Rubbing hard with unsuitable agents

Washing the vehicle in direct sunlight

Never use paint cleaner, buffing or polishing

products, or gloss preserver, e.g. wax, for the

purpose of paintwork care. These products

are only suitable for high-gloss surfaces. Their

use on vehicles with matte paintwork leads to

considerable surface damage or, more spe-

cifically, to shiny, spotted areas.

Always have paintwork repairs carried out at a

qualified specialist workshop.

Only use automatic car washes which cor-

respond to the latest technological stand-

ards. Never use wash programs which finish

by treating the vehicle with hot wax.

Observe these notes if your vehicle has a clear

matte 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.
