Engine cleaning
Prior to cleaning the engine compart-
ment make sure to protect electrical
components and connectors from con-
tact with water and cleaning agents.
Corrosion protection, such as Anticorro-
sion Wax approved by us for use on
Maybach vehicles, should be applied to
the engine compartment after every en-
gine cleaning. Before applying, all con-
trol linkage bushings and joints should
be lubricated. The poly-V-belt and all
pulleys should be protected from any
wax.
Vehicle washing
In the winter, thoroughly remove all
traces of road salt as soon as possible.
When washing the vehicle underbody,
do not forget to clean the inner sides of
the wheels.
i Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO**:
If an outside door handle is hit by a strong jet
of water, and a SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO**
is in close proximity, i.e. within approximately
3 ft (approximately 1 m), the vehicle could be
inadvertently locked or unlocked.
Hand-wash
Do not use hot water or wash your vehi-
cle in direct sunlight.
왘 Only use a mild car wash detergent,
such as Car Shampoo approved by us
for use on Maybach vehicles.
왘 Thoroughly spray the vehicle with a
diffused jet of water.
Direct only a very weak spray towards
the ventilation intake.
왘 Use plenty of water and rinse the
sponge and chamois frequently.
왘 Rinse with clean water and thorough-
ly dry with a chamois.
Do not allow cleaning agents to dry
on the finish.
! Do not use scouring agents on these
parts.
Never apply strong force and only use a soft,
non-scratching cloth when cleaning the vehi-
cle. Do not attempt to wipe the surface with a
dry cloth or sponge.
Otherwise you may scratch or damage the
paint.
Automatic car wash
You can have your car washed in an au-
tomatic car wash from the start. Auto-
matic car washes without brushes are
preferable.
! Do not clean your vehicle in an automatic
touchless car wash which uses caustic spray.
Otherwise the caustic spray will damage the
paint or ornamental moldings.
If the vehicle is very dirty, prewash it be-
fore running it through the automatic
car wash.
! Make sure the windshield wiper switch is
set to 0 (컄 page 74). Otherwise, e.g. the rain
sensor could activate and cause the wipers to
move unintentionally. This may lead to vehicle
damage.
Due to the width of the vehicle, fold in exteri-
or rear view mirrors prior to running the vehi-
cle through an automatic car wash to prevent
damage to the mirrors.
