Windshield fluid
Is there any reason I can't use a regular windshield wiper fluid? Or some sensor will detect non MB fluid and will freak out? Today I moved the car with a door open and the computer display went red colour saying that the door was open.

You act like the car telling you your door is open is a strange thing for you.
