NOTE
●
Always sprinkle water from above.
●
Do not run this vehicle through any automatic car washes.
These car washes may cause water to enter the vehicle and
cause damage to the convertible top. If you wash the vehi-
cle by hand do not spray water directly at side windows
and top seals which may cause water to enter the vehicle.
Therefore, be sure to observe the following.
• Maintain a good distance of approx. 16 inches (40 cm)
or more between the vehicle body and the washing noz-
zle.
• It is recommended that the water should be sprayed at a
45
°
angle to the side windows and top seals.
●
Do not use harsh or abrasive type cleaners or bleaching
agents on the top material or damage may result.
Engine compartment
N00947000084
Never spray or splash water on the electrical components in the
engine compartment, as this may cause damage.
Do not allow any nearby parts (such as plastic parts) come into
contact with sulphuric acid (battery electrolyte), which may
crack, stain, or discolour them.
If this occurs, wipe the parts with a soft cloth saturated with a
mild detergent and water solution.
Then immediately rinse the affected parts with plenty of water.
