Cleaning and care
Notes on washing the vehicle in an automatic
car wash
&
WARNING Risk of an accident due to
reduced braking power after washing the
vehicle
Braking efficiency is reduced after washing
the vehicle.
#
After the vehicle has been washed,
brake carefully while paying attention to
the traffic conditions until braking
power has been fully restored.
Make sure that the automatic car wash is suitable
for the size of the vehicle.
Before washing the vehicle in an automatic car
wash, fold in the outside mirrors and remove any
additional aerials. Otherwise, the outside mirrors,
aerial or the vehicle itself could be damaged.
Make sure any additional aerials are refitted and
that the outside mirrors are fully folded out again
when you leave the automatic car wash.
To avoid damage to your vehicle, observe the fol‐
lowing before using an automatic car wash:
R
the side windows and the sliding window are
completely closed.
R
the blower for ventilation and heating is
switched off.
R
the windscreen wiper switch is in position
g
.
If the vehicle is very dirty, wash off excess dirt
before cleaning the vehicle in an automatic car
wash.
%
Removing the wax from the windscreen and
the wiper rubbers after washing the vehicle,
will help avoid smearing and reduce wiper
noise.
Notes on use of a high-pressure cleaner
&
WARNING Risk of an accident when
using high-pressure cleaners with circular
jet nozzles
The water jet of a circular jet nozzle (dirt
grinder) can cause externally invisible dam‐
age to the tyres or chassis parts.
Components damaged in this way may unex‐
pectedly fail.
#
Do not use high-pressure cleaners with
circular jet nozzles to clean the vehicle.
#
Have damaged tyres or chassis parts
replaced immediately.
Never use a high-pressure cleaner in the vehicle
interior. The pressurised water created by the
high-pressure cleaner and the associated spray
could cause considerable damage to the vehicle.
To avoid damage to your vehicle, observe the fol‐
lowing when using a high-pressure cleaner:
R
maintain a minimum distance of 30 cm to the
vehicle when using 25° flat-spray nozzles and
dirt grinders or 70 cm when using round-
spray nozzles and observe the information in
the equipment manufacturer's operating
instructions.
R
do not direct the nozzle of the high-pressure
cleaner directly at sensitive parts such as
tyres, slits, electrical components, batteries,
light bulbs and ventilation slits.
R
maintain a minimum distance of 50 cm for a
reversing camera.
Washing the vehicle by hand
Observe the legal requirements, for example in
many countries washing by hand is only allowed
at specially designated wash bays. In this case,
make sure that a specially designated wash bay is
used for washing by hand.
#
Use a mild cleaning agent, e.g. car shampoo.
