Do not use cleaners that contain alcohol
or solvents as these may result in dam-
age.

Cleaning agents can contain substances
that are dangerous or hazardous to your
health. Therefore, follow the warning and safety
instructions on the packaging. When cleaning
inside the vehicle, always open the doors or
windows of the vehicle. In enclosed areas, pro-
vide for sufficient ventilation. Only use products
designed for cleaning vehicles.

water can reduce braking efficiency over the
short term and the brake discs can corrode.
