Washing by hand
In some countries, washing by hand is only allowed at specially equipped washing bays.
Observe the legal requirements in all countries concerned.
Do not use hot water and do not wash the
vehicle in direct sunlight.
Use a soft sponge to clean.
Use a mild cleaning agent, such as a car
shampoo approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Thoroughly hose down the vehicle with a
gentle jet of water.
Do not point the water jet directly towards
the air inlet.
Use plenty of water and rinse out the
sponge frequently.
Rinse the vehicle with clean water and dry
thoroughly with a chamois.
Do not let the cleaning agent dry on the
paintwork.
When using the vehicle in winter, remove all traces of road salt deposits carefully and as soon as possible.
