CareVehicle features and op‐tions
This chapter describes all standard, country-
specific and optional features offered with the series. It also describes features that are not
necessarily available in your car, e. g., due to
the selected options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related functions and sys‐
tems. The respectively applicable country provi‐
sions must be observed when using the respec‐
tive features and systems.
Car washes
General information Regularly remove foreign objects such as leaves
in the area below the windshield when the
hood is raised.
Wash your vehicle frequently, particularly in
winter. Intense soiling and road salt can dam‐
age the vehicle.
Steam jets or high-pressure washers
Information CAUTION
When cleaning with high-pressure wash‐
ers, components can be damaged due to the
pressure or temperatures being too high. There
is risk of property damage. Maintain sufficient
distance and do not spray too long continu‐
ously. Follow the user's manual for the high-
pressure washer. ◀
Distances and temperature▷Maximum temperature: 140 ℉/60 ℃.▷Minimum distance from sensors, cameras,
seals: 12 in/30 cm.▷Minimum distance from glass sunroof:
31.5 inches/80 cm.
Automatic car washes
Information
▷Give preference to cloth car washes or
those that use soft brushes in order to
avoid paint damage.▷Make sure that the wheels and tires are not
damaged by the transport mechanisms.▷Fold in the exterior mirrors; otherwise, they
may be damaged, depending on the width
of the vehicle.▷Unscrew the rod antenna.▷Deactivate the rain sensor, refer to
page 56, to avoid unintentional wiper acti‐
vation.▷In some cases, an unintentional alarm can
be triggered by the interior motion sensor
of the alarm system. Follow the instructions
on avoiding an unintentional alarm, refer to
page 31.

This equipment complies with FCC/IC radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled en‐
vironment and meets the FCC radio frequency
(RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to
OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency
(RF) Exposure rules. This equipment has very
low levels of RF energy that it deemed to com‐
ply without maximum permissive exposure
evaluation (MPE). But it is desirable that it
should be installed and operated keeping the
radiator at least 20cm or more away from per‐
son’s body (excluding extremities: hands,
wrists, feet and ankles).

rectrices d'exposition dans le Supplément C à
OET65 et d’exposition aux fréquences radioé‐
lectriques (RF) CNR-102 de l’IC. Cet équipement
émet une énergie RF très faible qui est consid‐
érée conforme sans évaluation de l’exposition
maximale autorisée. Cependant, cet équipe‐
ment doit être installé et utilisé en gardant une
distance de 20 cm ou plus entre le dispositif
rayonnant et le corps (à l’exception des ex‐
trémités : mains, poignets, pieds et chevilles).
