TIPS AND MAINTENANCE
Steel w
wheels
The wheels and the wheel trims should be
cleaned thoroughly at regular intervals
when the vehicle is being washed. This
will prevent brake dust, dirt and road salt
from accumulating on the wheel.
Persistent ingrained brake dust can be
removed with an industrial grime remover.
Paint damage should be repaired before
rust can form.
Alloy w
wheels*
In order to maintain alloy wheel trims in
perfect condition for a long period, regu-
lar care is necessary. Above all, road salt
and brake pad dust must be washed off
thoroughly at least every two weeks, oth-
erwise the surface of the alloy will be
damaged. After being washed, the wheels
should be treated with an acid-free
cleaner for alloy wheels. About every
three months it is necessary to give
wheels a good rubbing with hard wax.
Paint polish or other abrasive solutions
must not be used. If the protective paint
coat has been damaged, e.g. by stone
impact, the damaged spots should be
dealt with as soon as possible.

The leaves, blossoms etc. which drop into
the water box (underneath the engine
bonnet in front of the windscreen) should
be cleaned out occasionally. This will pre-
vent the water drain holes from becoming
blocked and – on vehicles without a dust
and pollen filter – foreign bodies entering
the vehicle interior via the heating and
ventilation system.
The engine compartment and the outside
surface of the power unit are given anti-
corrosion treatment at the factory.
In the winter when the vehicle is being
driven frequently on salted roads, good
anti-corrosion treatment is very impor-
tant. For this reason the entire engine
compartment and the plenum chamber
should be thoroughly cleaned before and
after the salting period and then pre-
served so that the salt cannot have a
damaging effect.
