Information on using a high-pressure cleaner

damage.
Components damaged in this way may unex‐
pectedly fail.

Do not use a high-pressure cleaner with
round-spray nozzles.
#
Have damaged tyres or chassis parts
replaced immediately.
To avoid damage to your vehicle, observe the fol‐
lowing when using a high-pressure cleaner:

away from the vehicle. Otherwise the tailgate
could open unintentionally.

tance in the equipment manufacturer's oper‐
ating instructions.
