• Maintain a distance of approx. 70 cm or
more between the vehicle body and the
washing nozzle.

hold the nozzle at a distance of more than
70 cm and at right angles to the glass sur-

l After washing the vehicle, drive the vehicle
slowly while lightly depressing the brake
pedal several times in order to dry out the
brakes.
Leaving the brakes wet could result in re-
duced braking performance. Also, there is a

come inoperative due to rust, rendering the
vehicle unable to move.

tention to the following items, referring to

During cold weather
Salt and other chemicals spread on the roads
in some areas in winter can have a harmful
effect on the vehicle body. You should there-
fore wash the vehicle as often as possible in
accordance with our care-instructions. It is
recommended to have a preservative applied
and the underfloor protection checked before
and after the cold weather season.
After washing your vehicle, wipe off all wa-
terdrops from the rubber parts around the
doors to prevent the doors from freezing.
NOTE
l To prevent freezing of the weatherstripping
on the doors, bonnet, etc., they should be
treated with silicone spray.
Waxing
Waxing the vehicle will help prevent the ad-
herence of dust and road chemicals to the
paintwork. Apply a wax solution after wash-
ing the vehicle, or at least once every three
months to assist displacing of water.
Do not wax your vehicle in direct sunlight.
You should wax after the surfaces have
cooled.
For information on how to use wax refer to
the instruction manual of the wax.
CAUTION
l
Waxes containing high abrasive compounds
should not be used.
Polishing
The vehicle should only be polished if the
paintwork has become stained or lost its lus-
tre. Matt-finish parts and plastic bumpers
must not be polished, polishing these parts
will stain them or damage their finish.
Cleaning plastic parts
Use a sponge or chamois leather.
If a car wax adheres on a grey or black rough
surface of the bumper, moulding or lamps,
the surface becomes white. In such a case,
wipe it off using lukewarm water and soft
cloth or chamois leather.
CAUTION
l Do not use a scrubbing brush or other hard
tools as they may damage the plastic part
surface.
