switched on for approximately ten minute
s
(run-on time). If you make a call during this
time, the mobile phone will be switched off
approximately ten minutes after you have
ended the call.
Run-on time :
You can change the run-on time by makin g
an additional phone book entry on the SI M
card. For the name, enter "Idletime" and for
the number, enter a figure between "1" and
"30" (minutes). If you have not entered a
number or have entered a different num -
ber, the run-on time of ten minutes will still
apply.
For information on how to create a phone
book entry, refer to the mobile phone oper-
ating instructions.
Own number sending:
The hands-free system does not recognise
whether own number sending is enabled or
disabled in the mobile phone. The phone
number is therefore always sent by default.
By creating an additional phone book entry
on the SIM card, you can switch the own
number sending function on and off. For
the name, enter "CALLID" and for the num-
ber, enter a "0" or a "1". Entering "0" will
prevent the telephone number from being
sent; entering "1" will allow it to be sent .For information on how to create a phone
book entry, refer to the mobile phone oper-
ating instructions.

!
It is preferable that you use car washes
that do not use high-pressure cleaning.
With car washes that use high water pres-
sures, there is a danger that water may leak
into the vehicle.
! Do not use a touch-free automatic car
wash that uses chemical agents to wash
the vehicle.
If the vehicle is very dirty, prewash it before
cleaning it in an automatic car wash.
Vehicles with DAB radio only 25
:
X Remove the radio/telephone aerial.
! If you do not remove the radio/telephon e
aerial, the aerial or the vehicle may be dam-
aged by the automatic car wash.
! Make sure that the automatic car wash is
suitable for the size of the vehicle. Fold in
the exterior mirrors before the vehicle is
washed. There is otherwise a risk of dam-
age to the exterior mirrors.
! Make sure the side windows are com-
pletely closed, the ventilation/heater
blower is fully turned off and the wind -
screen wiper switch is set to 0. The rai n sensor may otherwise be activated, for
instance, leading to inadvertent wiper
sweeps being triggered. This could cause
damage to the vehicle.
After using an automatic car wash, wipe off
wax from the windscreen and the wiper
blades. This will prevent smears and reduce
wiping noises caused by residue on the wind-
screen.
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 Battery
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.

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.

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
R solvents
R cleaning agents containing solvent You could otherwise scratch or damage the
surface of the lenses
.
Plastic trim !
Do not use dry, coarse or hard cloths and
do not scrub. Doing so will scratch or dam-
age the surfaces.
X Wipe plastic parts with a damp, lint-free
cloth (e.g. a microfibre cloth).
X Light soiling: use a low-foaming soap (e.g .
a light liquid hand soap) diluted in water.
X Heavy soiling: use a cleaning agent that is
solvent-free and non-corrosive. Mercedes-
Benz recommends that you use a
Mercedes-Benz cleaning product for this
purpose.
Cleaning the steering wheel boss and
dashboard X
Moisten a clean lint-free cloth with water.
X Clean the plastic parts and the dashboard.
X If particularly dirty, use a mild detergent. Operation
