Risk of accident
Observe the legal requirements of the
country in which you are currently driving
regarding operating mobile communica -
tions equipment in a vehicle.
If it is permitted by law to operate commu -
nications equipment while the vehicle is in
motion, you must only do so when the traf -
fic situation allows. You could otherwise be distracted from the traffic conditions,
cause an accident and injure yourself and
others.
Two-way radios and fax equipment use
d
without low-reflection exterior aerials can
interfere with the vehicle's electronics and
thereby jeopardise the operating safety of
the vehicle and your safety. You must there-
fore only use this equipment if it is correctly
connected to a separate reflection-free
exterior aerial. G
Risk of injury
Excessive electromagnetic radiation may
cause damage to your health and the health
of others. Using an exterior aerial takes into
account current scientific discussions
relating to the possible health hazards that
may result from electromagnetic fields.
i In order to ensure optimum signal quality
for mobile phones and to minimise mutual
interference between the vehicle electron -
ics and mobile phones, Mercedes-Benz rec -
ommends the use of an approved exterior
aerial. An exterior aerial conducts the elec-
tromagnetic fields generated by a wireless
device to the exterior of the vehicle; the
field strength within the vehicle interior is lower than in a vehicle that does not have
an exterior aerial.
i There are various mobile phone bracket s
that may be fitted to your vehicle; in some
cases these are country-specific. You can
obtain these mobile phone brackets from a
qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
The functions and services available when
you use the phone depend on your mobile
phone model and service provider.
The mobile phone bracket is in the armrest.
X Open the telephone compartment
(Y page 195).
Inserting the mobile phone into the
mobile phone bracket If the mobile phone is inserted into the mobile
phone bracket, you can only speak to the per-
son you are calling using the hands-free sys-
tem.
!
Do not attempt to remove the mobile
phone and the telephone bracket together.
You could otherwise damage the mobile
phone bracket. Controls

High-pressure cleaners G
Risk of accident
Do not use high-pressure cleaners with cir-
cular-jet nozzles (dirt grinders) to clean
your vehicle or - especially - the tyres. Yo u
could otherwise damage the tyres and
cause an accident.
! Observe the instructions issued by the
equipment manufacturer concerning the
distance to be maintained between the
nozzle of the high-pressure cleaner and the
vehicle (at least 30 cm).
Move the high-pressure cleaner nozzle
around when cleaning your vehicle .
Do not aim directly at any of the following:
R Tyres
R Door joint
R Electrical components
R Batter y
R Connectors
R Bulbs
R Seals
Damaged seals or electrical components
can lead to failures or leaks .Cleaning the wiper blades and the out
-
side of the windscreen G
Risk of injury
Turn the key to position 0in the ignition
lock before cleaning the windscreen or the
wiper blades. There is otherwise a risk of
the windscreen wipers being set in motion
and causing injury.
! Only fold the windscreen wipers away
from the windscreen when vertical, other-
wise you will damage the bonnet.
X Fold the wiper arms away from the wind-
screen until you feel them engage.
X Clean the windscreen and the wiper blades .
X Fold the windscreen wipers back agai n
before the ignition is switched on.
! Do not clean the wiper blades too often,
as otherwise the coating may come off.
This could cause wiper noise.
Cleaning the windows !
Do not use dry cloths, abrasive products,
solvents or cleaning agents containing sol-
vents to clean the inside of the windows. Clean the insides of the windows with
a
damp cloth or commercially-available glass
cleaner. Avoid touching the inside of the
rear windscreen and the side windows with
hard objects, e.g. ice scrapers or rings. You
could otherwise cause damage to the win-
dows, rear window heating or aerial on the
rear window.
i Anti-glare film retrofitted to the insides of
the windows could interfere with radio or
mobile phone reception, especially if it is
conductive or metal-coated film. Informa -
tion about anti-glare film can be obtained
from any Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Cleaning the headlamps X
Clean the headlamp lenses with a wet
sponge.
! Only use washer fluid which is suitable
for plastic lenses. Unsuitable washer fluid
could damage the plastic lenses of th e
headlamps.
Therefore, do not use the following:
R Dry cloths
R Abrasive cleaning agents Operatio
