Note
♦ Only special lubricant may be used from the following vehi‐
cle identification number.
♦ WVWZZZ3CZGE003578 (3G2)
♦ The lubricating paste used until now and the new special
lubricant are not miscible.
♦ Lubricating paste G 060 751 is coloured grey and easy to
detect. The new special lubricant G 060 567 is colourless
and barely noticeable.
♦ Employing the new special lubricant results in a new proce‐
dure in the course of servicing.
♦ A differentiation is made between countries with high dust ⇒
page 37 and low dust levels.
♦ In countries with low dust levels, only function and noise are
checked. In countries with high dust levels, the panorama
sliding roof must continue to be cleaned and lubricated.
♦ An inspection must be carried out to determine which grease
is in the area of the guide rails.
♦ Panorama sliding roofs in which lubricating paste G 060 751
was used must continue to be cleaned and greased.
♦ Rather than a brush, it is better to apply the lubricant with a
spray can and a long capillary tube.
Special tools and workshop equipment required
♦ Lubricating paste G 060 751
♦ Or
♦ Special lubricant G 060 567 A2 (spray can with long capillary
tube)
♦ Industrial vacuum cleaner
♦ Lint-free cloth

to approx. 40° in a workshop
