Cleaning windows and outside mirrors
Please first read and note the introductory information and
heed the WARNINGS →
Introduction
Water temperature should not be more than +140 °F (+60 °C).
To help prevent damage to the paint, do not wash the vehicle
in direct sunlight.
In order for Park Distance Control to work correctly, the
sensors in the rear bumper must be kept clean and clear of
snow and ice.
When using a power washer or steam cleaner, only spray the
sensors directly for a short period of time and always keep the
nozzle at least 4 inches (10 cm) from the sensor.
Do not clean icy or snow-covered windows with a power
washer.
When washing or rinsing the vehicle in cold weather, do not let
water get into the lock cylinders or point the hose at gaps
around the doors, hood, or rear hatch. The water could freeze
on the locks and seals and make it difficult to open the vehicle!
