Lights
Do not rub wet lights dry and do not use
abrasive or acidic cleaning agents or clean-
ing agents containing alcohol.
Soak areas that have been dirtied, for in-
stance from insects, with auto shampoo and
wash off with water.
Thaw ice with de-icing spray; do not use an
ice scraper.
After washing the vehicle
After washing the vehicle, apply the brakes
briefly to dry them; otherwise, braking ef-
fect can be reduced. The heat generated
during braking dries brake disks and brake
pads and protects them against corrosion.
Completely remove all residues on the win-
dows, to minimize loss of visibility due to
smearing and to reduce wiper noises and
wiper blade wear.
