Use a mild car wash detergent, such as Mercedes-Benz
approved Car Shampoo, with plenty of water.
To prevent scratches, never apply strong force and use
only a soft, non-scratchy cloth when cleaning the lenses.
Do not attempt to wipe dirty lenses with a dry cloth or
sponge.
Window cleaning
Use a window cleaning solution on all glass surfaces. An
automotive glass cleaner is recommended.Rear window cleaning
The corner f la ps of t he rea r sh elf pa rtially cover t he rear
window. This prevents the window from being fully
cleaned with the hardtop closed.
Important!
Do not manually move corner flaps of rear shelf. Doing
so will result in damage to the roof folding mechanism
that is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited
Warranty.
Renewed momentary operation of hardtop switch
extends the time by another 7 minutes.
Wa r n i n g !
If a warning sounds and the indicator lamp in the
hardtop switch blinks, immediately stop cleaning
and move back from window to prevent possible
injury.The hardtop is lowered into its storage
compartment.
