Too close a distance, too high a pressure, or too
high a temperature may cause damage or pre-
liminary damage that can then lead to long-term
damage.
Follow the operating instructions for the steam
jet or high-pressure washer.

When using high-pressure washers, do
not spray the sensors, e.g. of the Park
Distance Control, for an extended period and
maintain a distance of at least 1 ft/30 cm from
them.

Regularly remove foreign objects, e.g. leaves, in
the vicinity of the windshield when the hood is
open.
Wash the vehicle more frequently, particularly
in winter.
Heavy soiling and road salt can lead to vehicle
damage.
Automatic car washes
Notes
In car washes with high pressures and
nozzle positions, water may drip into the
vehicle around the windows.

Give preference to car washes that use
cloth or soft brushes in order to avoid paint

transport devices.
