Cleaning and caring for the vehi-
cle exterior
The following overview contains recom-
mendations for cleaning and care of indi-
vidual vehicle components.
NOTICE
Incorrect cleaning and care can damage
the vehicle.
·
Always follow the manufacturer’s in-
structions.
·
Do not use any excessively harsh, abra-
sive cleaning products.
Windows, glass surfaces
— Remove wax residue, e.g. from care prod-
ucts, using a suitable glass cleaner or
with a suitable cleaning cloth.
— Remove snow with a brush.
— Remove ice with a plastic scraper. Move
the scraper in one direction only.
— Remove any ice with a suitable de-icing
agent.
— Clean the wiper blades or replace if nec-
essary

Sensors and camera lenses
Observe the installation locations of the
components on the vehicle
→
page 8.
Clean the area in front of the sensors or
camera with a
soft cloth and solvent-free
cleaning agent.
Clean sensitive surfaces on the rain and
light sensor and the camera window on the
windscreen with a suitable glass cleaner.
— Remove snow with a brush.
— Never use warm or hot water.
— Remove any ice with a suitable de-icing
agent.
Paint
Always treat surfaces carefully in order to
prevent damage to the paint coat.
— Use a clean,
soft cloth and a mild soap
solution (made with a maximum of two
tablespoons of neutral soap to one litre
of water) or cleaning clay to remove any
light dirt immediately, e.g. deposits, in-
sect residue, or cosmetics.
— Clean up spilled service fluids immedi-
ately.
— Moisten flash rust deposits with a soap
solution. Then remove any deposits with
cleaning clay.
— Have corrosion removed by a suitably
qualified workshop.
— In the event of paint damage, go to
a suitably qualified workshop and have
the paint damage repaired.
Waxing protects the paintwork. At the lat-
est when water no longer clearly forms
small drops and runs
off the paintwork
when the vehicle is clean , the vehicle
should be protected again using a preser-
vative wax.
— Even if a preservative wax is applied reg-
ularly in the car wash, we recommend
protecting the paint with a coat of suita-
ble hard wax at least twice a year.
— Polishing is only necessary if the paint
has lost its shine, and the gloss cannot
be brought back by applying wax.
Decorative films, protective films
— Remove soiling as for paint . Use a suita-
ble plastic cleaner for decorative films.
— Treat the vehicle with liquid hard wax ev-
ery three months after washing and re-
moving dust. Only use clean, soft microfi-
bre cloths to apply it. Do not use hot
wax , even in car washes.
— Remove stubborn dirt carefully using
white spirit, and then rinse using warm
water.
The durability and colour of decorative
and protective
films are affected by
environmental factors such as sunshine,
moisture, air pollution, stone chips, etc.
Decorative
films can show signs of wear
and ageing after approximately one to
three years and protective films after ap-
proximately two to three years. In very hot
climates, decorative
films may start to fade
within one year and protective films within
two years.
