Windshield wipers
Switching the windshield wipers
on/off
!
Do not operate the windshield wipers
when the windshield is dry, as this could
damage the wiper blades. Moreover, dust
that has collected on the windshield can
scratch the glass if wiping takes place
when the windshield is dry.
If it is necessary to switch on the wind-
shield wipers in dry weather conditions,
always use washer fluid when operating the
windshield wipers.
!Make sure that the front windshield wip-
ers are free of ice. The wiper motor could
otherwise overheat.
!If the windshield wipers leave smears on
the windshield after the vehicle has been
washed in an automatic car wash, wax or
other residues may be the reason for this.
Clean the windshield using washer fluid
after washing the vehicle in an automatic
car wash.
!Vehicles with a rain sensor: if the wind-
shield becomes dirty in dry weather con-
ditions, the windshield wipers may be
activated inadvertently. This could then
damage the windshield wiper blades or
scratch the windshield.
For this reason, you should always switch
off the windshield wipers in dry weather.

Intermittent wipe
Vehicles with a rain sensor: the appropriate
wiping frequency is automatically set
according to the intensity of the rain. With

Coolant
Important safety notes
GWARNING
The cooling system is pressurized, partic- ularly when the motor is warm. If you open
the cap, you could be scalded if hot coolant
sprays out. There is a risk of injury.
Let the engine cool down before you open
the cap. Wear gloves and eye protection.
Slowly open the cap to relieve pressure.
Checking the coolant
The coolant expansion tank is in the area
under the service cover.
XOpen the service cover (Ypage 151).
XLet the coolant cool down for at least
30 minutes.
XPark the vehicle on a level surface.
Only check the coolant level when the vehi-cle is on a level surface and the engine has
cooled down.
XCheck the reservoir visually.
The fluid level must be between MIN and
MAX.
Adding coolant
XCover cap 0043of coolant expansion tank 0044
with a cloth.
XSlowly turn cover cap 0043anti-clockwise to
allow excess pressure to escape.
XTurn cap 0043further anti-clockwise and
remove it.
XDo not exceed the maximum filling level
when adding coolant.
XScrew on cap 0043tightly. For further information on coolant, see
(
Ypage 210).
Windshield washer system
GWARNING
Windshield washer concentrate is highly
flammable. If it comes into contact with hot
components in the front compartment, it
may ignite. There is a risk of fire and
injury.
Make sure that no windshield washer con-
centrate is spilled next to the filler neck.
XOpen the service cover (Ypage 151).
XTo open: pull cap0043upwards by the tab.
XIf available, pull the removable nozzle up
as far as the stop.
XAdd the premixed washer fluid.
XTo close: if available, push the removable
nozzle down and push it inside.
XPress cap 0043onto the filler neck until it
engages.

Service message
The service display informs you of the next
service due date. Depending on the operating
conditions of the vehicle, the remaining time
or distance until the next service due date is displayed.
Maintenance153
>> Maintenance and care.
Z

Do not use power washers with circular jet
nozzles to clean the vehicle. Have damaged
tires or chassis components replaced
immediately.
!Always maintain a distance of at least
11.8 in (30 cm) between the vehicle and the
power washer nozzle. Information about the
correct distance is available from the
equipment manufacturer.
Move the power washer nozzle around when
cleaning your vehicle.
Do not aim directly at any of the following:
Rtires
Rdoor gaps, roof gaps, joints, etc.
Relectrical components
Rbattery
Rconnectors
Rlights
Rseals
Rtrim
Rventilation slots
Damaged seals or electrical components
can lead to leaks or failures.
Cleaning the paintwork
!Do not affix:
Rstickers
Rfilms
Rmagnetic plates or similar items
to painted surfaces. You could otherwise
damage the paintwork.
XRemove dirt immediately, where possible,
while avoiding rubbing too hard.
XSoak insect remains with insect remover
and rinse off the treated areas afterwards.
XSoak bird droppings with water and rinse
off the treated areas afterwards.
XRemove coolant, brake fluid, tree resin,
oils, fuels and greases by rubbing gently
with a cloth soaked in petroleum ether or
lighter fluid.
XUse tar remover to remove tar stains.
XUse silicone remover to remove wax.
XUse a suitable touch-up stick, e.g. MB
Touch-Up Stick, to repair slight damage to
the paintwork quickly and provisionally. The following cannot always be completely
repaired:
Rscratches
Rcorrosive deposits
Rareas affected by corrosion
Rdamage caused by inadequate care
In such cases, visit a qualified specialist
workshop.
When water no longer forms beads on the paint surface, use the care product Paint Care,
which has been approved by smart. This is the
case approximately every three to five
months, depending on the climate conditions
and the care product used.
If the dirt has penetrated the paint surface or
if the paintwork has become dull, then the
paintwork should be cleaned. Use the care
product Paint Care, which has been approved
by smart to clean the paintwork.
Do not use these care products in the sun or on
the hood while the hood is hot.
Matte finish care
!Never polish the vehicle or the light alloy
wheels. Polishing causes the finish to
shine.
!The following may cause the paint to
become shiny and thus reduce the matte
effect:
Rstrong rubbing of the paintwork with
unsuitable materials
Rfrequent use of automatic car washes
Rwashing the vehicle in direct sunlight
!Never use paint cleaner, buffing or pol-
ishing products, or gloss preserver, e.g.
wax. These products are only suitable for
high-gloss surfaces. Their use on vehicles
with matte finish leads to considerable
surface damage (shiny, mottled areas).
Always have paintwork repairs carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop.
!Do not use wash programs with a hot wax
treatment under any circumstances.
Observe these notes if your vehicle has a
clear matte finish. This will help you to avoid
damage to the paintwork due to incorrect
treatment.
These notes also apply to light alloy wheels
with a clear matte finish.
