Introduction
Regular maintenance and washing help to
m
aint
ain the
value of the vehicle. This may
also be one of the requirements for acknowl-
edging warranty claims in the event of body-
work corrosion or paint defects.
Products suitable for the care of your vehicle
are available at any technical service.
WARNING
Car-care products may be toxic and hazard-
ous. If c
ar care products are not suitable or
are used inappropriately, this could result in
accident, serious injury, burns or intoxica-
tion.
●
Car car
e products must always be stored in
the original container which should be kept
closed.
●
Observe information provided by the manu-
facturer.
●
To prevent confusion, never store car care
products in empty food cans, bottles or other
containers.
●
Keep all care products out of reach of chil-
dren.
●
Harmful vapours may be produced when us-
ing car care products. Therefore, care prod-
ucts should only be used in well-ventilated
spaces or in the open air.
●
Never use fuel, turpentine, engine oil, ace-
tone or any other volatile liquid to wash,
clean or care for the vehicle. These are toxic
and highly flammable.
WARNING
Inappropriate care and cleaning of vehicle
components
may effect the vehicle safety
equipment, increasing the risk of severe in-
jury.
●
Vehicle components should only be
cleaned and maintained in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
●
Only use approved or recommended care
products.
CAUTION
Cleaning products which contain solvents will
damag
e the material.
For the sake of the environment
●
Only w
ash the vehicle in areas allocated for
this purpose, to prevent dirty water which
may be contaminated by oil, grease or fuel,
from entering the drains. In some places,
washing it outside the planned areas is even
banned.
●
Where possible, always use products which
respect the environment.
●
The remains of car care products should not
be disposed of with ordinary household
waste. Observe information provided by the
manufacturer.
Washing the vehicle
The longer substances such as insects, bird
dr
op
pin
gs, resinous tree sap, road dirt, in-
dustrial deposits, tar, soot or road salt and
other aggressive materials remain on the ve-
hicle, the more damage they do to the paint-
work. High temperatures (for instance due to
strong sunlight) further intensify the corro-
sive effect. The vehicle undercarriage should
also be thoroughly washed at regular inter-
vals.
