Windshield cleaners, special cleaners, and cleaning cloths are available from your authorized
Volkswagen dealer and authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Removing snow
Remove snow from all windows and outside mirrors with an appropriate brush.
Removing ice
The best way to remove ice is with a deicer spray. When using an ice scraper always scrape in one
direction, never back and forth. Dirt can scratch the glass when moving the scraper backward.
WARNING
Dirty or fogged up windows reduce visibility and increase the risk of accidents and severe
injuries.
Don't drive until you have clear visibility through all windows.
Remove ice, snow and condensation from all inside and outside window surfaces.
NOTICE
Never mix recommended cleaning agents with other cleaning agents in the windshield
washer reservoir. If you do, this could cause sediments or other by-products that can clog the
windshield wiper nozzles.
Never use warm or hot water to remove snow and ice from windows and mirrors. This could
cause the glass to crack!
The heating elements for the rear defroster are on the inside of the rear window. Do not put
stickers over the heating elements on the inside of the rear window and never clean the inside
of the windows with corrosive or acidic cleaning agents or other chemicals that could damage
the heating elements.

Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS
Factory-installed wiper blades have a graphite coating. The graphite coating lets the wiper blades glide
