replaced immediately.
To avoid damage to your vehicle, observe the fol‐

Keep the key at least 3 m away from the
vehicle. Otherwise the tailgate could open
unintentionally.

vehicle.

Vehicles with decorative foil: parts of your
vehicle are covered with a decorative foil.
Maintain a distance of at least 70 cm
between the foil-covered parts of the vehicle
and the nozzle of the high-pressure cleaner.
Move the high-pressure cleaner nozzle
around whilst cleaning.
R
Observe the information on the correct dis‐
tance in the equipment manufacturer's oper‐
ating instructions.
R
Do not point the nozzle of the high-pressure
cleaner directly at sensitive parts such as
tyres, gaps, electrical components, batteries,
light sources and ventilation slots.
Washing the vehicle by hand
Observe the legal requirements, e.g. in a number
of countries, washing by hand is only permitted
in specially designated wash bays.
#
Use a mild cleaning agent, e.g. car shampoo.
#
Wash the vehicle with lukewarm water using
a soft car sponge. When doing so, do not
expose the vehicle to direct sunlight.
#
Carefully hose the vehicle off with water and
dry using a chamois. Take care not to point
the water jet directly towards the air inlet.
