11.1.8 Windscreen washer system and windscreen wipers
Only fill the cleaning agents (with/without frost protection) into the
washer fluid container which are listed in the operating manual of the
base vehicle manufacturer and in the mixing ratio specified therein. Do
not use any radiator frost protection or other products. These products
affect the cleaning effect and attack the windscreen blades.
Do not switch the windscreen washer system or the windscreen wipers
on when the windscreen blades are frozen to the windscreen. Release
the windscreen blades first using a defrosting product.
Do not remove the snow accumulated on the windscreen with the wind-
screen wipers. Remove the snow from the windscreen with a brush first.
Do not switch on the windscreen wipers on a dry windscreen.
Do not clean the windscreen wiper mechanics and the windscreen wiper
motor with a steam blaster.
Check the correct functioning of windscreen washer system and wind-
screen wipers periodically.
Check the filling level of the washer fluid container periodically. Only if
sufficient cleaning fluid reaches the windscreen, the windscreen wipers
will be able to clean it in a satisfactory way. A clear view contributes de-
cisively to safe driving.
Before the frost period starts, fill the washer fluid container with wind-
screen cleaning product containing sufficient frost protection.
Refill windscreen washing fluid on time. Only use clean water to dilute
the windscreen cleaning product.
Remove insect residues from the windscreen blades as soon as possi-
ble.
Clean the windscreen blades periodically with a windscreen cleaning
product. To do this, move a sponge or a cloth along the rubber strip.
Remove car wax residues after the vehicle washing using a wax dissolv-
ing windscreen cleaning product.
Remove dirt accumulations on the nozzles of the windscreen washer
system periodically.
After journeys on heavily soiled roads, spray clear water on the wiper
nozzles to prevent incrustations.
Clean obstructed wiper nozzles with a fine needle.
11.1.9 Air conditioning unit
Do not clean the air conditioning unit with a high-pressure cleaner. Wa-
ter entering can damage the air conditioning unit.
Do not clean vehicle in car wash.
Do not use any sharp or hard objects when cleaning. Otherwise the air
conditioning unit and sunroof can be damaged.
Use only the cleaning agents recommended by the manufacturer to
clean the sunroof. Our authorised dealers and service centres will be
happy to advise you.
