Vehicle care
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 Anti-corro-
sion Wax approved by us for use on May-
bach vehicles, should be applied to the
engine compartment after every engine
cleaning. Before applying, all control
linkage bushings and joints should be lu-
bricated. The poly-V-belt and all pulleys
should be protected from any wax.
Vehicle washing
Do not use hot water or wash your vehi-
cle in direct sunlight. Use only a mild car
wash detergent, such as Car Shampoo
approved by us for use on Maybach vehi-
cles.
Thoroughly spray the vehicle with a dif-
fused jet of water. Direct only a very
weak spray towards the ventilation in-
take. Use plenty of water and rinse the
sponge and chamois frequently.
Rinse with clear water and thoroughly
dry with a chamois. Do not allow clean-
ing agents to dry on the finish.
Due to the width of the vehicle, fold in
exterior rear view mirrors prior to run-
ning the vehicle through an automatic
car wash to prevent damage to the mir-
rors.
In the winter, thoroughly remove all
traces of road salt as soon as possible.
When washing the underbody, do not
forget to clean the inner sides of the
wheels.
Ornamental moldings
For regular cleaning and care of very
dirty chrome-plated parts, use a chrome
cleaner.
Headlamps, tail lamps, turn signal lenses
Use a mild car wash detergent, such as
Car Shampoo approved by us for use on
Maybach vehicles, with plenty of water.
To prevent scratches, never apply strong
force and use only a soft, non-scratchy
cloth when cleaning the lenses. Do not
attempt to wipe dirty lenses with a dry
cloth or sponge.
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 prox-
imity, i.e. within approximately 3 ft
(approximately 1 m), the vehicle
could be inadvertently locked or un-
locked.
