■Safety information
■General information
In a vehicle wash, the vehicle
must be able to roll freely. Roll or push the vehicle, see
page 127.
Some vehicle washes do not
permit persons in the vehicle.
The vehicle cannot be locked
from the outside when in selec-
tor lever position N. A signal
sounds when an attempt is
made to lock the vehicle.
Make sure that the remote con-
trol is in the vehicle.
Switch on drive-ready state,
refer to page 42.
Do not rub wet headlights dry
and do not use abrasive or
acidic cleaning agents.

ied, for instance from insects,
with shampoo and wash off with
water.
Thaw ice with de-icing spray; do
not use an ice scraper.
After washing the vehicle, apply
the brakes briefly to dry them;
otherwise, braking action can be
reduced. The heat generated
during braking dries brake discs
and brake pads and protects
them against corrosion.
Completely remove all residues
NOTICE
Improper use of automatic vehicle
washes can cause damage to the
vehicle. There is a risk of damage
to property. Follow the following
instructions:
●Give preference to cloth vehicle
washes or those that use soft
brushes in order to avoid paint
damage.
●Avoid vehicle washes with
guide rails higher than 4 in/10
cm to avoid damage to the
chassis.
●Observe the tire width of the
guide rail to avoid damage to
tires and rims.
●Fold in exterior mirrors to avoid
damage to the exterior mirrors.
●Deactivate the wiper and, if nec-
essary, rain sensor to avoid
damage to the wiper system.
●Do not treat the convertible top
with wax. Ensure that a cycle
without wax or a special cycle
for convertibles is available to
avoid damage to the convertible
top.

Regular care contributes to driv-
ing safety and value retention.
Environmental influences in
areas with elevated air pollution
or natural contaminants, such as
tree resin or pollen can affect
the vehicle's paintwork. Tailor
the frequency and extent of your
vehicle care to these influences.
Aggressive substances such as
spilled fuel, oil, grease or bird
droppings, must be removed
immediately to prevent the finish
from being altered or discolored.

• After driving on salted roads
• If coal tar or tre e sap is present
on the paint surface
• If dead insects, insect droppings or bird droppings are present on

ity when storing the wheels.
●If anything is spilled on a
painted surface, wipe it off as
soon as possible. If spilled
washer fluid or alkaline fluids
are left as is, the paint in the
affected area may deteriorate,
causing blemishing.
●Do not wax or apply coating to
the vehicle. Doing so may
cause a change in the body sur-
face's texture or irregularities in
the paint.

such as from clothing, clean
leather and provide leather care
roughly every two months.
Clean light-colored leather more
frequently because soiling on
such surfaces is substantially
more visible.
Use leather care products; oth-
erwise, dirt and grease will grad-
ually break down the protective
layer of the leather surface.
Vacuum the upholstery regularly
with a vacuum cleaner.
If upholstery is very dirty, for
instance with beverage stains,
use a soft sponge or microfiber
cloth with a suitable interior
cleaner.
Clean the upholstery down to
the seams using large sweeping
motions. Avoid rubbing the
material vigorously. When cleaning the vehicle, use
only neutral wheel cleaners hav-
ing a pH value from 5 to 9. Do
not use abrasive cleaning
agents or steam jets above 140
°F/60 °C. Follow the manufac-
turer's instructions.
Aggressive, acidic or alkaline
cleaning agents can destroy the
protective layer of adjacent
components, such as the brake
disc.
After cleaning, apply the brakes
briefly to dry them. The heat
generated during braking dries
brake discs and brake pads and
protects them against corrosion.
Carefully clean components
such as the radiator grille or
door handles with plenty of
water, possibly with shampoo
added, particularly when they
have been exposed to road salt.
Environmental influences can
cause surface soiling of rubber
parts and a loss of gloss. Use
only water and suitable cleaning
agents for cleaning.
