162 Self-help, vehicle careExterior lights
Headlamp and other lamp lens are made
of plastic. Do not use any abrasive or
caustic agents, do not use an ice scraper,
and do not clean them dry.
Plastic and rubber parts
Plastic and rubber parts can be cleaned
with the same cleaner as used to clean the
body. Use interior cleaner if necessary. Do
not use any other agent. Avoid solvents
and petrol in particular. Do not use high-
pressure jet cleaners.
Interior and upholstery
Clean the vehicle interior, including the
instrument panel fascia, using interior
cleaner.
The instrument panel is only to be cleaned
with a soft, damp cloth.
Clean the fabric upholstery with a vacuum
cleaner and brush. Remove stains with an
upholstery cleaner.
Clean seat belts with lukewarm water or
interior cleaner. Windows and windscreen wiper blades
Use a soft lint-free cloth or chamois leather
together with window cleaner and insect
remover.
When cleaning the rear window, make sure
the heating element inside the window is
not damaged.
For mechanical removal of ice, use a sharp-
edged ice scraper. Press the scraper firmly
against the glass so that no dirt can get
under it and scratch the glass.
Clean smearing wiper blades with a soft
cloth and window cleaner.
Locks
The locks are lubricated at the factory
using a high quality lock cylinder grease.
Use de-icing agent only where absolutely
necessary, as this removes grease and
impairs lock function. After using de-icing
agent, have the locks regreased by a
workshop. Engine compartment
Clean painted surfaces in the engine
compartment like any other painted
surface.
For best results, wash and wax the engine
compartment before and after winter.
Before washing the engine, cover the
alternator and brake fluid reservoir with
plastic sheeting.
When washing the engine with a steam-jet
cleaner, do not direct the steam jet at
components of the Anti-lock Braking
System 3, the automatic air conditioning
system 3 or the belt drive and its
components.
After an engine wash, have all engine room
components preserved thoroughly by a
workshop using protective wax.
Do not use high-pressure jet cleaners.
Caution
Close Velcro fasteners as open Velcro
fasteners on clothing could damage
seat upholstery.

Brake fluid Changing brake fluid
Brake fluid is hygroscopic, i. e. it absorbs
water. If the brakes become hot, such as
when driving on long downhill stretches,
vapour bubbles can form in the water,
which can have an extremely adverse
effect on braking power (depending on the
proportion of water).
Therefore, keep to the specified change
intervals.

Windscreen wiper replacement Wiper blades on the windscreen
Lift wiper arm. Move release lever and
detach wiper blade.
Picture no: 9392t.tif
Wiper blades 3 on the rear window
Lift wiper arm. Disengage wiper blade as
shown in illustration and remove.
9 Warning
Brake fluid is poisonous and corrosive.
Do not allow it to come into contact with
eyes, skin, fabrics or painted surfaces.
9 Warning
Have the brake fluid change performed
by a workshop. Please comply with the
legal environmental and health
regulations – concerning the disposal of
brake fluid.
