(Depending on version)
151)
Use a high-flow hose (temperature
between 25
°
C and 40
°
C).
Place the jet of water perpendicular to
the surface to be cleaned.
Rinse the vehicle with demineralised
water.
UNDERBODY
Some areas of the vehicle underbody
have a PVC undercoating while other
critical areas have a durable protective
wax coating.
After the underbody is washed, check
the underbody and have it waxed if
necessary.
Bitumen / rubber materials could
damage the PVC coating. Have
underbody work carried out by a Jeep
Dealership.
Before and after winter, wash the
underbody and have the protective wax
coating checked.
TOWING EQUIPMENT
Do not clean the coupling ball bar with a
steam-jet or high-pressure jet cleaner.
WARNING
320) For electric versions: before washing
the vehicle, always check that the
charging flap is closed correctly. Never
wash the vehicle while the battery is on
charge
321) To avoid damaging the electrical
components, it is expressly prohibited to
use high-pressure washing in the engine
compartment or under the body. Do not
use a pressure greater than 80 bar when
washing the bodywork.
322) Never allow water or dust to enter
the connector or charging nozzle - risk
of electrocution or fire! Never connect /
disconnect the charging nozzle or cable
with wet hands - risk of electrocution!
IMPORTANT
145)
Abrasive products and/or polishes
should not be used for cleaning the car.
Bird droppings must be washed off
immediately and thoroughly as the acid
they contain is particularly aggressive.
Avoid parking the vehicle under trees
(unless it is absolutely necessary).
Remove any resinous plant matter
immediately because, once it has dried, it
may require the use of abrasive and/or
polishing products to be removed, which
are strongly discouraged as they could
potentially alter the characteristics
of the paintwork. Do not use pure
windscreen washer fluid for cleaning
the front windscreen and rear window;
dilute it min. 50% with water. Only use
pure screen washer fluid when strictly
necessary due to outside temperature
conditions. Do not use chemicals/acids to
defrost windows/vehicle glass as they can
damage the paint.
146) Always use a cleaning agent with a
pH value of 4 to 9. Do not use cleaning
agents on hot surfaces. Dry the car with a
wet chamois leather. Abrasive products
and/or polishes should not be used for
cleaning the car. Bird droppings must be
washed off immediately and thoroughly
as the acid they contain is particularly
aggressive. Avoid (if at all possible)
parking the car under trees; remove
vegetable resins immediately as, when
dried, it may only be possible to remove
them with abrasive products and/or
polishes, which is highly inadvisable as
they could alter the typical opacity of the
paint.
147) Do not use a high pressure jet
cleaner to clean the motor compartment.
The appropriate precautions have been
taken to protect all parts and connections,
but the pressures generated by these
devices are so high that complete
protection against water seepages cannot
be guaranteed.
148) If it is necessary to wash the car
from the outside, take care not to insist
directly with the water jet onto the
charging flap.
149) The headlamps have polycarbonate
lenses with a protective coating: do not
clean them with a dry or abrasive cloth,
nor with detergent or solvent products;
use a sponge and soapy water or a pH
neutral product; when using a high-
pressure washer on persistent marks, do
not keep the lance directed towards the
headlamps, lamps or their edges for too
long, so as not to damage their protective
coating and seals.
