Care

11.6.1 Preparations
„
Check the vehicle for paint and rust damage. Repair damage as neces-
sary.
„
Make certain that water cannot penetrate the automatic floor ventilation
system and the heater.
„
Use a wax-based rust inhibitor to protect the metal parts of the underbody.
„
Use appropriate protection for external painted surfaces.
11.6.2 Winter operation
During winter operation, condensation develops when the vehicle is occupied
under low-temperature conditions. To ensure good interior air quality and
avoid vehicle damage from condensation, sufficient ventilation is essential.
„
When heating the vehicle, the heater should be at the highest setting and
roof storage cabinets, curtains and blinds should be opened. This ensures
optimal ventilation.
„
Only heat if the circulation system is switched on.
„
In the morning, lift up all cushions, air out storage boxes and dry any damp
areas.
11.6.3 At the end of the winter season
„
Thoroughly clean the underbody of the vehicle and the engine. When this
is done, corrosion-inducing anti-freeze agents (salts, alkaline residues) are
removed.
„
Clean the exterior and use regular car wax to protect metal surfaces.
