have the engine cleaned. On commissioning
thi
s
w
ork, ensure that all surfaces, seams,
joints and components in the engine com-
partment are given anti-corrosion treatment.
WARNING
●
When workin
g in the engine compartment,
always observe the safety warnings
››› page 263.
●
Before opening the bonnet, switch the en-
gine off, apply the handbrake firmly and al-
ways remove the key from the ignition.
●
Allow the engine to cool before you clean
the engine compartment.
●
Do not clean, for example, the vehicle un-
derbody, wheel arches or wheel trims without
protecting your hands and arms. You may cut
yourself on sharp-edged metal parts. Failure
to comply could result in injury.
●
Moisture, ice and salt on the brake system
may affect braking effectiveness. Risk of acci-
dent. Directly after washing, avoid sudden
and sharp braking.
●
Never touch the radiator fan. It is tempera-
ture-controlled and could start automatically,
even when the key is removed from the igni-
tion!
For the sake of the environment
Fuel, grease and oil deposits can be removed
when the engine is
washed. The polluted wa-
ter must be cleaned in an oil separator. For
this reason, engine washing should be car-
ried out only by a specialised workshop or a
petrol
station.
Caring for the vehicle interior
Screen f
or the radio/Easy Connect*
and control panel*
The display can be cleaned with a soft cloth
and a profe
ssionally available “LCD cleaner”.
Moisten the cloth with a small amount of the
cleaning fluid.
The Easy Connect control panel* should first
be cleaned with a brush so that no dirt goes
into the device or between the keys and
housing. Next, we recommend cleaning the
Easy Connect control panel* using a cloth
dampened with water and washing-up liquid.
CAUTION
●
To avoid s
cratching the screen, do not wipe
the display with a dry cloth.
●
To avoid damage, ensure that no liquid
goes into the Easy Connect control panel*.

use a special solvent-free plastic cleaning
product.
WARNING
Never clean the dash panel and the airbag
module s
urface with cleaners containing sol-
vents. Solvents cause the surface to become
porous. If the airbag triggered, plastic parts
could become detached and cause injuries.
