Care
Notes on care
H Environmental note
Dispose of empty packaging and cleaning
cloths in an environmentally responsible man-
ner.
! For cleaning your vehicle, do not use any of
the following: R
dry, rough or hard cloths R
abrasive cleaning agents R
solvents R
cleaning agents containing solvents
Do not scrub.
Do not touch the surfaces or protective films
with hard objects, e.g. ar ing or ice scraper.
You could otherwise scratc hord amage the
surfaces and protective film.
! Do not park the vehicle for an extended
period straight after cleaning it, particularly
after having cleaned the wheels with wheel
cleaner. Wheel cleaners could cause
increased corrosion of the brake discs and
brake pads/linings. For this reason, you
should drive for af ew minutes after cleaning.
Brakin gh eats the brake discs and the brake
pads/linings, thus drying them. The vehicle
can then be parked.
Regula rc are of your vehicle is ac ondition for
retaining the quality in the long term.
Use care products and cleaning agents recom-
mended and approved by Mercedes-Benz. Washing the vehicle and cleaning the
paintwork
Automatic car wash
G WARNING
Brakin ge fficienc yisr educed after washing
the vehicle. There is ar isk of an accident.
After the vehicle has been washed, brake
carefully while paying attention to the traffic
conditions until full braking power is restored.
! If DISTRONIC PLUS or the HOLD function is
activated, the vehicle brakes automatically in
certain situations.
To prevent damage to the vehicle, deactivate
DISTRONIC PLUS and the HOLD function in
the following or other similar situations: R
when towing the vehicle R
in the car wash
! It is preferable to use car washes with
adjustable high-pressure pre-cleanin gt hat
corresponds to the specification for the Cab-
riolet program. In car washes that use high
water pressures, there is ar isk that as mall
amount of water may leak into the vehicle.
! Designo retractable hardtop: make sure
that the vehicle is not subsequently treated
with hot wax.
! Lock the car if you wash it in an automatic
car wash. Otherwise, the vehicle might be
damaged.
! Never clean your vehicle in aT ouchless
Automatic Car Wash as these use special
cleaning agents. These cleaning agents can
damage the paintwork or plastic parts.
If you have your vehicle cleaned in ah igh-
pressure automatic car wash, small amounts
of water may enter the vehicle.
! Make sure that the automatic transmission
is in position N when washing your vehicle in
at ow-through car wash. The vehicle could be
damaged if the transmission is in another
position.236

The vehicle will then use very little energy, thus
conserving battery power.
If the power supply has been interrupted, e.g. if
you reconnect the battery, you will have to: R
reset the function for automatically folding

Charging the battery
G WARNING
During charging and jump-starting, explosive
gases can escape from the battery. There is a
risk of an explosion.
Particularly avoid fire, open flames, creating
sparks and smoking. Ensure there is sufficient
ventilation while charging and jump-starting.
Do not lean over ab attery.
G WARNING
Battery acid is caustic. There is ar isk of injury.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Do
not inhale any battery gases. Do not lean over
the battery. Keep children away from batter-
ies. Wash away battery acid immediately with
plenty of clean water and seek medical atten-
tion.
G WARNING
Ad ischarged battery can freeze at tempera-
tures below freezin gp oint. When jump-start-
ing the vehicle or charging the battery, gases
can escape from the battery. There is ar isk of
an explosion.
Allow the frozen battery to thaw out before
charging it or jump-starting.
! Only use battery chargers with am aximum
charging voltage of 14.8 V.
! Only charge the battery using the jump-
starting connection point.
The jump-starting connection point is in the
engine compartment. If the indicator/warning lamps do not light up at
low temperatures, it is very likely that the dis-
charged battery has frozen. In this case, you
may neither charge the battery nor jump-start
the vehicle. The service life of at hawed-out bat-
tery may be shorter .T he starting characteristics
can be impaired, particularly at low tempera-
tures. Have the thawed-out battery checked at a
qualified specialist workshop.
Read the battery charger's operating instruc-
tions before charging the battery. X
Open the hood. X
Connec tt he battery charger to the positive
terminal and ground point in the same order
as when connectin gt he donor battery in the
jump-starting procedure ( Y
page 249).248

Breakdown assistance

Jump-starting For the jump-starting procedure, use only the jump-starting connection point in the engine com-
partment ,c onsisting of ap ositive terminal and ag round point.
G WARNING
Battery acid is caustic. There is ar isk of injury.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Do not inhale any battery gases. Do not lean over the
battery. Keep children away from batteries. Wash away battery acid immediately with plenty of
clean water and seek medical attention.
G WARNING
During charging and jump-starting, explosive gases can escape from the battery. There is ar isk
of an explosion.
Particularly avoid fire, open flames, creating sparks and smoking. Ensure there is sufficient ven-
tilation while charging and jump-starting. Do not lean over ab attery.
G WARNING
During the charging process, ab attery produces hydrogen gas. If as hort circuit occurs or sparks
are created, the hydrogen gas can ignite. There is ar isk of an explosion.R
Make sure that the positive terminal of ac onnected battery does not come into contact with
vehicle parts. R
Never place metal objects or tools on ab attery.R
It is important that you observe the described order of the battery terminals when connecting
and disconnecting ab attery.R
When jump-starting, make sure that the battery poles with identical polarity are connected. R
It is particularly important to observe the described order when connecting and disconnecting
the jumper cables. R
Never connect or disconnec tt he battery terminals while the engine is running.
G WARNING
Ad ischarged battery can freeze at temperatures below freezing point. When jump-starting the
vehicle or charging the battery, gases can escape from the battery. There is ar isk of an explosion.
Allow the frozen battery to thaw out before charging it or jump-starting.
! Avoid repeated and lengthy starting attempts. Otherwise, the catalytic converter could be
damaged by the non-combusted fuel.
If the indicator/warning lamps do not light up at low temperatures, it is very likely that the dis-
charged battery has frozen .Int his case, you may neither charge the battery nor jump-start the
vehicle. The service life of at hawed-out battery may be shorter. The starting characteristic sc an be
impaired, particularly at low temperatures. Have the thawed-out battery checked at aq ualified
specialist workshop. Jump-starting 249

cautions: R
Only fill the fuel tank to half full with regular
unleaded gasoline and fill the rest with pre-

As at emporary measure, if the recommended
fuel is not available, you may also use regular
unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of
87 AKI/91 RON. This may reduce engine per-
formance and increase fuel consumption. Avoid
driving at full throttle and sudden acceleration.
Never refuel using fuel with al owe rA KI.

The fuel quality available in some countries may
not be sufficient. Residue could build up in the
fuel injection system as ar esult. In such cases,
and in consultation with an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center, the fuel may be mixed
with the cleaning additive recommended by
Mercedes-Benz. You must observe the notes

General notes
! Never use engine oil or an oil filter of as pec-
ificatio no ther than is necessary to fulfill the
prescribe ds ervice intervals. Do not change
the engine oil or oil filter in order to achieve
longer replacement intervals than those pre-
scribed. You could otherwise cause engine
damage or damage to the exhaust gas after-
treatment.
Follow the instructions in the service interval
display regarding the oil change. Otherwise,
you may damage the engine and the exhaust
gas aftertreatment.
When handling engine oil, observe the important
safety notes on service products ( Y
