> Remove additional attachments, e.g. spoil-

ers or telephone antennas, if there is a pos-

sibility that they could be damaged.

> Insert the remote control into the ignition

lock.

Automatic transmission

Before driving into the car wash, make sure that

the vehicle can roll:

1. Place the remote control, even with Comfort

Access, in the ignition lock.

2. Move the selector lever to position N.

3. Release the parking brake.

4. Switch off the engine.

5. Insert the remote control in the ignition lock

so that the vehicle can roll.

Steam jets/high-pressure washers

When using steam jets or high-pressure

washers, make sure that you maintain suf-

ficient distance from the vehicle and do not

exceed a maximum temperature of 1407/

606.

If the distance is too close, the pressure too high,

or the temperature too high, parts of the vehicle

can be damaged, or water can penetrate.

Observe the operating instructions for high-

pressure washers.<

Do not spray sensors such as the Park Dis-

tance Control with high-pressure washers

for a long time and maintain the greatest possi-

ble distance of approx. 1 ft/30 cm from them.<

Manual washing

Use a great deal of water and, if necessary, car

shampoo when washing your car by hand. Clean

the vehicle with a sponge or a washing brush

applying a slight amount of pressure.

Before cleaning the windshield, deacti-

vate the rain sensor or turn off the ignition

to prevent unintentional wiping.<

Observe local regulations regarding wash-

ing vehicles by hand.<

Headlamps

Do not wipe dry and do not use abrasive or cor-

rosive cleaning agents. Remove dirt and con-

tamination, such as insects, by soaking with

shampoo and then washing with plenty of

water.

Do not remove accumulated ice and snow with

an ice scraper; use window deicers instead.

Windows

Clean the outside and inside of the windows and

mirrors with a window cleaner.

Do not clean the mirrors with cleaners

containing quartz.<

Wiper blades

Clean with soapy water and change regularly to

prevent the formation of streaks.

Wax, preservatives and dirt on the win-

dows cause streaks when the windshield

wipers are on, and can cause premature wear of

the wiper blades and interfere with the rain sen-

sor.<

Paintwork, care

Regular care helps your vehicle retain its value

and protects the paint from the long-term

effects of aggressive substances.

Environmental influences in areas with

increased air pollution or natural contaminants,

such as tree sap or pollen, can affect the vehicle

paintwork. It is therefore important to adjust the

frequency and extent of vehicle care corre-

spondingly.

Immediately remove any particularly aggressive

substances, such as fuel that has overflowed, oil,

grease, brake fluid, or bird droppings; otherwise,

paint damage can be caused.
