SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

Thoroughly rinse and leather-off the
vehicle. Rinse leather frequently. Use
separate leathers for painted and glass
surfaces: remnants of wax on the
windows will impair vision.
Have the door hinges of all doors greased
by a Jeep Dealership.
Do not use hard objects to remove spots
of tar. Use tar removal spray on painted
surfaces.
Take care not to direct the water jet
directly onto the electronic control units,
connectors and orange cables, including
the areas adjacent to them (high-voltage
circuit) and venting valves. Have this
operation performed by a specialised
workshop. After washing, check that
the various protective components (e.g.
rubber guards and caps) have not been
removed or damaged.
When using a pressure washer, keep the
jet nozzle at a minimum distance of 30
cm from the vehicle (particularly when
cleaning areas containing chipped paint,
sensors or seals).

or caustic agents, do not use an ice
scraper, and do not clean them dry.

POLISHING AND WAXING
Polishing is necessary only if the paint
has become dull or if solid deposits have
become attached to it.
Plastic body parts must not be treated
with wax or polishing agents.
WINDOWS AND WIPER BLADES
Switch off wipers before handling in their
areas.
Use a soft lint-free cloth or chamois
leather together with window cleaner and
insect remover.
When cleaning the rear window from
inside, always wipe in parallel to the
heating element to prevent damage.
For mechanical removal of ice, use a
sharp-edged ice scraper. Press the
scraper firmly against the glass so that
no dirt can get under it and scratch the
glass.
Clean smearing wiper blades with a soft
cloth and window cleaner. Also make
sure to remove any residues such as
wax, insect residues and similar from the
window.
Ice residues, pollution and continuous
wiping on dry windows will damage or
even destroy the wiper blades.
WHEELS AND TYRES
Do not use high-pressure jet cleaners.
Clean rims with a pH-neutral wheel
cleaner.
Rims are painted and can be treated
with the same agents as the body.
