High-pressure cleaning
G
WARNING
The water jet from a circular jet nozzle (dirt
blasters) can cause invisible exterior dam-
age to the tires or chassis components.
Components damaged in this way may fail
unexpectedly. There is a risk of an accident.
Do not use power washers with circular jet
nozzles to clean the vehicle. Have damaged
tires or chassis components replaced imme-
diately.
!
Under no circumstances use power wash-
ers in the vehicle interior. The pressurized
water and associated spray produced by the
power washer could cause extensive dam-
age to the vehicle.
H
Environmental note
Only clean your vehicle at specially designed
wash bays. Dispose of empty containers and
used cleaning products in an environmen-
tally responsible manner.
!
The emissions control system may only be
cleaned when it is cool. The sensors could
otherwise be damaged.
When cleaning, make sure not to point the
water jet at the exhaust pipe. Otherwise, the
exhaust gas aftertreatment may be dam-
aged.
!
When using high-pressure cleaning equip-
ment, maintain a minimum distance of
approx. 1 ft (30 cm) between the spray noz-
zle and the vehicle parts. Do not use a
power washer with a round-jet nozzle. You
could damage the vehicle or engine parts.
!
Keep the water jet moving constantly
while cleaning. In this way, you will avoid
causing damage.
