Info

Resetting the maintenance service indicator In the event that the maintenance service on your vehicle is not carried out by an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center, you can have the maintenance service indicator reset. The automotive maintenance facility carrying out the maintenance service will find the information for resetting the maintenance service indicator in the maintenance-relevant information for your vehicle. Such information is available from either your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center or directly from Mercedes-Benz. i If the maintenance service indicator was inadvertently reset, have an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center correct it. Only reset if the proper maintenance service has been performed. Resetting the system without performing the proper service as called for by the maintenance service indicator will result in engine damage and/or other vehicle damage not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty. Operation Maintenance 291
Operation Vehicle care Cleaning and care of the vehicle Warning! G Many cleaning products can be hazardous. Some are poisonous, others are flammable. Always follow the instructions on the particular container. Always open your vehicle’s doors or windows when cleaning the inside. Never use fluids or solvents that are not designed for cleaning your vehicle. If you have any questions about proper care of your SLR, please contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. 292 i Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use Mercedes-Benz care products. These have been specially developed to suit Mercedes-Benz vehicles and are state of the art. Mercedes-Benz care products are available from any Mercedes-Benz Center. Depending on body color the characteristic carbon structure of the body surface may become visible due to high ambient temperatures and humidity. This phenomenon is related to the technology and concept of the vehicle’s body. While in operation, even while parked, your vehicle is subjected to varying external influences which, if gone unchecked, can attack the paintwork as well as the underbody and cause lasting damage. Such damage is caused not only by extreme and varying climatic conditions, but also by: Air pollution Road salt Tar Gravel and stone chipping To avoid paint damage, you should immediately remove: Grease and oil Fuel Coolant Brake fluid Bird droppings Insects Tree resins, etc. Frequent washing reduces and/or eliminates the aggressiveness and potency of the above adverse influences. More frequent washings are necessary to deal with unfavorable conditions: near the ocean in industrial areas (smoke, exhaust emissions) during winter operation You should check your vehicle from time to time for stone chipping or other damage. Any damage should be repaired as soon as possible to prevent corrosion.
