Carefully remove all deposits of road salt as soon as possible when driving in winter.

Also, clean the insides of the wheels when washing the underbody of the vehicle.

► Do not use hot water and do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight.
► Use a soft car sponge for cleaning.
► Use a gentle cleaning agent, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz approved car shampoo.
► Wash down the vehicle with a gentle water jet.
► Do not point the water jet directly at the air inlets.
► Use plenty of water and rinse the sponge frequently.
► Rinse the vehicle with clean water and dry it thoroughly with a chamois.
► Do not allow the cleaning agent to dry on the paintwork.
