Problems when programming
If you are experiencing problems programming
the integrated garage door opener on the rear-
view mirror, take not eofthe following instruc-
tions:
RCheck the transmitter frequenc yused by
garage door drive remotec ontrolAand
whether it is supported. The transmitter fre-
quency can usually be found on the back of
remotec ontrolAfor the garage door drive.
The integrated garage door opener is com-
patible with devices that have units which
operate in the frequenc yrange of 280 to
433 MHz.
RReplace the batteries in garage door remote
control A.This increases the likelihood that
garage door remotec ontrolAwill transmit a
stron gand precise signal to the integrated
garage door opener.
RWhen programming, hold remotec ontrolA
at varying distances and angles from but-
tons ;to? which you are programming. Try
various angles at adistanc ebetween 2and
8i nches (5to 20 cm) or at the same angle but
at varying distances.
RIf another remotec ontrolAis available for
the same garage door drive, repeat the same
programmings teps with this remotec ontrol
A.B eforep erforming these steps, make sure
that new batteries have been installed in
garage door drive remotec ontrolA.
RNote that some remotec ontrols only transmit
for alimited amount of time (the indicator
lamp on t
he remotec
ontrol goes out). Press button
Bon remotec ontrolAagain before
transmission ends.
RAlign the antenna cable of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal recep-
tion/transmission.

Engine oil
General notes
Depending on your driving style, the vehicle
consumes up to 0.9 US qt (0.8 liters) of oil per
600 miles (1,000 km). The oil consumption may
be higher than this when the vehicle is new or if
you frequently drive at high engine speeds.
Depending on the engine, the oil dipstick may be
in ad ifferent location.
When checking the oil level:
Rpark the vehicle on alevel surface
Rthe engine should be switched off for approx-
imately five minutes if the engine is at normal
operating temperature
Rif the engine is not at normal operating tem-
perature, e.g. if the engine was only started
briefly, wait about 30 minutes before carrying
out the measurement
Checking the oil level using the oil dip-
stick
GWARNING
Certain components in the engine compart-
ment, such as the engine, radiator and parts
of the exhaust system, can become very hot.
Working in the engine compartmentp oses a
risk of injury.
Where possible, let the engine cool down and touch only the components described in the

Mattef inish 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
unsuitablem aterials
Rfrequent use of automatic car washes
Rwashing the vehicle in direct sunlight
!Never use paint cleaner, buffing or polishing
products, or gloss preserver, e.g. wax, for the
purpose of paintwork care. These products
are only suitablef or high-gloss surfaces. Their
use on vehicles with matte paintwork leads to considerable surface damage or, more spe-
cifically,tos hiny, spotted areas.
Alwaysh ave paintwork repairs carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop.
!Do not use wash programs with ahot wax
treatment under any circumstances.
Observe these notes if your vehicle has aclear
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
ac lear matte finish.
The vehicle should ideally be washed by hand
using asoft sponge, car shampoo and plenty of
water.
Use only insect remover and car shampoo from
the range of approved Mercedes-Benz care
products.
Cleaning the vehiclep arts
Cleaning the wheels
GWARNING
The water jet from acircular jet nozzle (dirt
blasters) can cause invisible exterior damage
to the tires or chassis components. Compo-
nentsd amagedint his way may fail unexpect-
edly.T here is arisk of an accident.
Do not use power washers with circular jet
nozzles to clean the vehicle. Have damaged

diately.
!Do not use acidic wheel cleaning products
to remove brake dust. This could damage
wheel bolts and brake components.
!Do not park your vehicle for along period of
time directly after cleaning, particularlya fter
cleaning the wheel rim with wheel cleaner.
Wheel cleaner can lead to the increased cor-
rosion of the brake discs and pads. Therefore, drive for afew minutes after cleaning. By
heating up the brakes, the brake discs and
pads dry. The vehicle can then be parked for a
long period of time.
Cleaning the windows
GWARNING
You could become trapped by the windshield wipers if they start moving while cleaning the

will damage the hood.
!Do not use dry cloths, abrasive products,
solvents or cleaning agents containing sol-
vents to clean the inside of the windows. Do
not touch the insides of the windows with
hard objects, e.g. an ice scraper or ring. There
is otherwise arisk of damaging the windows.
!Cleant he water drainage channels of the
