Taking care of your vehicle and cleaning the vehicle

206

WARNING

When washing your vehicle in the winter: Water and ice in the brake 
system can affect the braking efficiency - risk of accident!

Automatic vehicle wash systems

The paintwork of the vehicle is sufficiently resistant that the vehicle can be 
washed normally in automatic vehicle wash plants without any problem. 
The actual stress to which the paintwork is subjected, however, depends 
greatly on the design of the vehicle wash system, the filtering of the water 
and the type of washing and care products used. If the paintwork of your 
vehicle appears mat after being washed or even has scratches, point this 
out to the operator of the vehicle wash plant. Use a different vehicle wash 
plant, if necessary.

There are no particular points to note before washing your vehicle in such 
a plant other than the usual precautionary measures (closing windows 
and sliding/tilting roof, moving any factory-fitted aerials down flat against 
the bodywork, etc.).

If you have any particular attached parts fitted to your car - such as spoiler, 
roof rack system, two-way radio aerial - it is best to first of all consult the 
operator of the car wash plant.

It is important to degrease the lips of the windscreen wiper rubbers after 
passing through the automatic vehicle wash system.

Caution

Do not screw the swivelling down roof aerial tight before washing the 
vehicle in an automatic vehicle wash system - risk of damage!

Washing vehicle by hand

It is important to first soften the dirt with plenty of water and rinse it off as 
thoroughly as possible before washing your vehicle by hand.

One should then clean the vehicle using a soft 

washing sponge

, 

washing glove

 or a 

washing brush

 and only slight pressure. Work from 

the top to the bottom - beginning with the roof. Only place slight pressure 
on the vehicle paintwork during cleaning Only use a 

car shampoo

 for 

stubborn dirt.

Wash out the sponge or washing glove thoroughly at short intervals.

Clean wheels, door sills and similar parts last. Use a second sponge for 
such areas.

Rinse off the vehicle well after giving it a wash and dry it off using a 
chamois leather.

WARNING

•

The ignition should always be switched off when you wash your 

vehicle - risk of accident!

•

Protect your hands and arms from sharp-edged metal parts 

when you are cleaning the underfloor, the inside of the wheel hous-
ings or the wheel trims - risk of cuts.

Caution

•

Do not wash your vehicle in bright sunlight - risk of paint damage.

•

Ensure that the jet of water is not aimed directly at the locks or at the 

door and panel joints if you spray your vehicle in winter down with a hose 
- risk of freezing.

•

Do not use any insect sponges, rough kitchen sponges or similar 

cleaning products - risk of damage to the surface of paintwork.
