and attuned to the on-board network can be
obtained from Service Partner or a qualified
specialist workshop.

some equipment will have to be reinitialised or
individual settings will need to be updated, for
example:▷Seat and mirror memory: re-save positions.▷Time: update.▷Date: update.▷Glass Roof and sun blind: initialise system,
see page 47.
Disposing of the old battery

General careVehicle equipment
This chapter describes all standard, national
and special equipment provided in the model
series. Equipment not available in the vehicle is
therefore also described, for example the se‐
lected special equipment or national version.
This also applies to safety-relevant functions
and systems. Comply with the relevant na‐
tional regulations when using the correspond‐
ing functions and systems.
Washing the vehicle
General Regularly remove foreign bodied, for example,
leaves, with the bonnet opened in the area be‐
neath with windscreen.
Especially in winter, wash the car more fre‐
quently. Very high levels of dirt and spreading
salt can cause damage to the car.
Steam-jet cleaners and high-pressure
cleaners
Notes ATTENTION
When cleaning with high-pressure clean‐
ers, excessive pressure or excessive tempera‐
tures can damage various components. Dan‐
ger of damage to property. Ensure a sufficient
distance and do not spray for an extended pe‐
riod of time. Comply with the instructions for
the high-pressure cleaner.◀
Distances and temperature▷Maximum temperature: 60 ℃/140 ℉.▷Minimum distance to sensors, cameras,
seals: 30 cm, approx. 12 in.▷Minimum distance to the Glass Roof:
80 cm, approx. 31.5 in.
Automatic car washes.
Notes ATTENTION
Water can penetrate in the window area
due to high pressure washers. Danger of dam‐
age to property. Avoid high pressure wash‐
ers.◀
▷Textile car washes or systems using soft
brushes are preferable, to avoid damage to
the paintwork.▷Make sure the wheels and tyres are not
damaged by the conveying mechanism.▷Fold in the exterior mirrors, as they could
otherwise sustain damage due to the vehi‐
cle's width.▷Deactivate the rain sensor, see page 72, to
avoid unintentional operation of the wipers.▷In some instances, depending on the inte‐
rior movement detector of the alarm sys‐
tem, a false alarm may be triggered. Ob‐
serve the notes on avoiding false alarm,
see page 43.
ATTENTION
Excessively high guide rails in car
washes can damage parts of the body. Danger
of damage to property. Avoid washing bays or
car washes with guide rails more than 10 cm,
