Underbody
Your vehicle has a factory-applied PVC
undercoating in the wheel arches
(including the longitudinal sides of the
underbody) which provides permanent
protection and needs no special
maintenance.
The areas of the underside of the vehicle
that are not covered with PVC have a
protective layer of wax that provides long-
term protection applied in critical areas.
On vehicles which are washed frequently in
automatic car washes with underbody
washing facility, the protective wax
coating may be impaired by dirt-dissolving
additives.
Check the underbody after washing and
have it waxed if necessary. Before the start
of the cold weather season, check the PVC
coating and protective wax coating. Have
them restored to perfect condition if
necessary.
Caution - commercially available bitumen/
rubber materials can damage the PVC
coating. We recommend that you have
underbody work carried out by a
workshop, who knows the prescribed
materials and has experience in the use
thereof.
The underbody should be washed
following the end of the cold weather
season to remove any dirt adhering to the
underbody since this may also contain salt.
Check protective wax coating and, if
necessary, have it restored to perfect
condition.
