11.1
External care
11.1.1
General
Standard external care consists of regular washing. The use and the environ-
mental conditions will determine how often the vehicle needs to be washed.
Wash the vehicle more frequently in areas which are exposed to heavy air pol-
lution or heavy traffic or roads treated with de-icing salts. If the vehicle is
exposed to salty and humid air (coastal areas, humid climates), wash the
vehicle more frequently.
Do not park under trees if at all possible. The resin-like discharge which many
trees secrete, give the paintwork a matt look and can promote the onset of cor-
rosion.
Wash off bird droppings straight away and thoroughly, as the acid it contains
is extremely corrosive.
11.1.2
Washing with a high-pressure cleaner
Before cleaning the vehicle with a high-pressure cleaner, observe the oper-
ating instructions of the high-pressure cleaner.
When cleaning with the nozzle for circular jet between the vehicle and the
cleaning nozzle, maintain a minimum distance of approx. 700 mm.
Take into consideration that the jet of water comes out of the cleaning nozzle
with pressure. The vehicle may be damaged by incorrect handling of the high-
pressure cleaner. The temperature of the water should not be above 60 °C.
Keep the jet of water in constant movement during the washing process. Do
not direct the water jet at clearances, built-in electrical parts, plugs, seals, the
ventilation grill or the skylights. The vehicle may be damaged or water may
enter the interior.
Z
Do not clean the tyres with a high-pressure cleaner. The tyres might be
damaged.
Z
Do not spray external applications (deco-films) directly with the high-pres-
sure cleaner. The external applications could come off.
