Environmental protection

Dispose of empty packaging and cleaning cloths in an environmentally responsible manner.

To clean your vehicle, do not use
  • dry, rough or coarse cloths
  • abrasive products
  • solvents
  • cleaning products containing solvents

Do not rub.

Do not touch the surfaces and protective films with hard objects such as a ring or an ice scraper.

Otherwise, you could scratch or damage the surfaces and protective films.

Do not park the vehicle for an extended period immediately after cleaning, especially if the wheels have been treated with a wheel cleaner. Such products can accelerate corrosion of the brake discs and brake pads. Therefore, drive for a few minutes after cleaning. When braking, the brake discs and brake pads heat up and dry out. You may then park the vehicle for an extended period.

Regular care of your vehicle is necessary to preserve its quality over the long term.

For care, use only the care and cleaning products recommended and approved by Mercedes-Benz.
