Maintaining proper visibility while driving your vehicle is essential at all times. That’s why Mercedes-Benz wipers are designed with curvature and pressure points that conform concisely to your windshield. They’re also made from both natural and synthetic rubbers, which provide long lasting elasticity.General Care Tips

• Inspect wipers at least every six months and replace as needed
• Chattering or streaking wipers may indicate that replacement is necessary
• Always replace wipers in pairs (if applicable)
• Winter weather conditions accelerate wear on wipers with freezing windshield conditions; exposure to the sun over time can likewise deteriorate wiper materials substantially
• Expect to replace the rear wiper regularly (if applicable)

Collision Parts

“Collision parts” is a term that refers to parts not normally replaced during the life of a vehicle except in an accident. Examples include fenders, doors, hoods, structural parts, or trim pieces. There are very specific reasons why you should always insist on Genuine Mercedes-Benz replacement parts and repair methods:

• Precisely engineered panels made from the correct grade of steel or aluminum that will fit perfectly in every instance
• Genuine replacement body parts require less surface preparation before painting, resulting in a superior finish and in better savings
• Zincro-plated coating inhibits rust, thereby maintaining vehicle integrity
• Matched exterior and interior trim items only available from Mercedes-Benz
• Assurance that your vehicle will maintain the manufacturer-specified safety standards it had when new. The safety of a vehicle not repaired within these specific standards could be compromised in the event of another accident.
• Backed by our Parts Limited Warranty

Using Mercedes-Benz Star marked replacement glass helps ensure that the safety and quality designed into the structural integrity of your vehicle is maintained.More Advantages

• Proper fitment, visual clarity, windshield wiper performance, and overall integrity of your vehicle Solar coatings provide integrated UV protection and heat load reduction. This technology optimizes air conditioning performance and can improve fuel economy.
• Mercedes-Benz glass and attached moldings have been tested for UV, chemical, temperature, tear and abrasion resistance. Aftermarket products are often made with materials that do not meet these standards.
• Includes acoustic dampening technologies within its layering, thereby reducing wind, road, and engine noise in your cabin
• Mercedes-Benz glass often features components including rain sensors, antennae, and heating elements configured explicitly to your vehicle’s complex electronics systems that come integrated with the genuine part and require calibration to ensure proper working condition.

A well-functioning heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system not only optimizes climate control and defroster operation, it can help maintain MPG rating over the life of the vehicle. Regular checks and preventative maintenance (e.g., cabin filter, A/C compressor) performed with genuine Mercedes-Benz parts can prevent potential costly repairs.The most important thing to know about your HVAC system is that only Mercedes-Benz trained technicians use the proper equipment, components, and procedures to repair and diagnose potential issues. For example, if you drive your vehicle in a humid climate, ask your Mercedes-Benz service advisor about special cleaning and drying treatments that eliminate odors and mold build-up.

General Care Tips

• The refrigerant used in your air conditioning system may adversely impact the environment if improperly disposed of. Our technicians will use specialized recovery and recycling equipment to safely handle its disposal.
• Your HVAC system requires the smooth flow of air through clean vents to function properly. Have the cabin filters inspected and changed regularly.
• The operation of the A/C compressor relies on proper belt condition and tension. If a replacement is needed, a genuine Mercedes-Benz belt assures for a perfect fit.
• Seasonal HVAC inspections are recommended as part of overall vehicle care and maintenance. Watch for notices from Mercedes-Benz of Rocklin regarding inspections, as they are aware of the proper timing for your vehicle.

Mercedes-Benz recommends that all replacement tires at least meet the original equipment specifications in terms of size, load and speed rating so you continue to enjoy the performance and handling built into your Mercedes-Benz. Mercedes-Benz offers MO, MOE and other approved tires that meet the required specifications for your vehicle. Mercedes-Benz of Rocklin offers competitive pricing on national brand tires designed specifically for your vehicle.

Key Benefits

Traction
The adhesion between tire and road is affected by overall conditions and driving style. Mercedes-Benz-approved tires are uniquely designed to optimize traction for Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

Integrity
MO and MOE tires must undergo extensive road testing to validate construction and confirm ride comfort. Mercedes-Benz works closely with the world’s leading tire manufacturers to design the best tires for each model.

Reliability
We measure reliability by two factors: the ability of the tire to deliver superior performance in a variety of driving conditions, and its capacity to deliver Mercedes-Benz performance mile after mile.

Endurance
The effective life of your tire depends on tire type, speed rating, inflation pressure, wheel alignment, and other vehicle and environmental conditions. To help attain maximum life for your tires, your Mercedes-Benz of Rocklin will ensure that your tires are properly inflated, aligned, balanced, and rotated.

Safety
Tires are a critical component of your vehicle’s active safety system. The safety standards of your Mercedes-Benz vehicle have been precisely engineered, and could be compromised if you do not have appropriate Mercedes-Benz-approved tires installed on your vehicle.

General Care Tips

• Mercedes-Benz of Rocklin offers tire inspection, wheel alignment, tire rotation, and tire balancing — all performed by certified technicians who know your Mercedes-Benz inside and out.
• Check tire-pressure periodically, since improperly inflated tires can lead to decreased fuel mileage, premature tread wear, and affect vehicle handling. Tire pressure can also fluctuate with temperature swings and should be adjusted during seasonal changes.
• Regardless of tread wear, we recommend that you replace tires and spares after six years because tires age normally, and their deterioration may not be visible to the eye.
• If your vehicle is “pulling” one way or the other, your wheels may be out of alignment, which can impact wear and performance. Mercedes-Benz of Rocklin conducts a four-wheel computerized alignment of the front and rear suspension.
• Have your tires rotated* regularly to help prevent uneven wear, improper handling, reduced fuel efficiency, and shortened tire life.
• Vehicles with staggered-width tires cannot be rotated, but instead require inspection.
• As tires wear, they can become out of balance, causing vehicle vibration and accelerated tire wear. When needed, Mercedes-Benz of Rocklin can computer-balance all four wheels.

We also offer a First Class Wheel and Tire Protection warranty that covers the full, recurring costs of replacing your vehicle’s wheels and tires – labor included – for damage caused by a covered road hazard.**
