Rubber seals
Read and observe and on page 134 first.
All door seals and window guides are factory-treated with a colourless matt
varnish layer to prevent the freezing of painted body parts and to protect
against driving noise.
CAUTION
■
Do not treat the door seals and window guides with any products whatsoev-
er.
■
Applying additional treatments to the seals can corrode the protective coat-
ing, and driving noise may occur.
Chrome and anodized parts

cially designed for this purpose.
CAUTION
■
Do not polish the chrome parts and anodized parts in a dusty environment -
risk of surface scratches.
■
Never use aggressive cleaning agents or chemical solvents for these parts -
there is risk of damage.

Cleaning windows
Regularly clean windows from the inside with clean water.
Dry the glass surfaces with a clean chamois leather or a cloth intended for this
purpose.
CAUTION
Instructions for removing snow and ice
■
The ice scraper should not be moved forward and backward but in one direc-
tion to avoid any damage to the surface of the glass.
■
Snow or ice that is contaminated with coarse dirt such as fine gravel, sand or
salt must not be removed from the windows and mirrors – there is a risk of
damage to the surface of the windows and mirrors.
■
Do not remove snow or ice from glass parts using warm or hot water – risk of
cracks forming in the glass.
■
Make sure that when removing snow and ice from the windows, the labels
attached to the vehicle by the factory are not damaged.
CAUTION
Information for cleaning windows
■
Do not clean the inside of the windows with sharp-edged objects or corro-
sive and acidic cleaning agents – there is a risk of damaging the heating ele-
ments or window aerial.
■
When drying the windows after washing the vehicle, do not use window
leathers that have been used to polish the bodywork. Residues of preserva-
tives in the window leather can make the window dirty and reduce visibility.
