Care and maintenance
Washing the vehicle with a high pres-
s
ur
e c
leaner
When cleaning the vehicle with a high-pres-
sure c
leaner, always follow the operating in-
structions for the equipment. Pay special at-
tention to the required pressure of the jet
and the distance between the jet and the ve-
hicle ›››
.
Keep a suit
able distance from soft materials,
such as rubber hoses or insulating material,
and from the parking distance warning sys-
tem sensors. The parking distance sensors
are fitted in the rear bumpers and, where ap-
plicable, in the front bumpers ›››
.
Do not
u
se a no
zzle that sprays the water out
in a direct stream or one that has a rotating
jet for forcing off dirt

.
WARNING
The incorrect use of high pressure cleaning
equipment cou
ld result in permanent dam-
age, visible or invisible, to the tyres or other
materials. This could result in a serious acci-
dent.
●
Ensure there is a suitable distance between
the nozzle and the tyres.
●
Never wash tyres with a concentrated jet or
so-called “dirt blasters”. Even at large spray-
ing distances and short cleaning times, you
may damage the tyres.
WARNING
After the vehicle has been washed, the brak-
ing effect
will be reduced (and the braking
distance increased) due to moisture (and ice
in winter) on the brakes.
●
“Dry the brakes and remove ice” by braking
carefully. Ensure that you are not endanger-
ing other road-users or breaking traffic regu-
lations in the process.
CAUTION
●
The water t
emperature should not exceed
+60°C (+140°F).
●
To avoid damage to the paintwork, do not
wash the vehicle in full sun.
●
The sensors on the bumpers should be kept
clean and free of ice at all times to ensure the
parking distance warning system and the
park assist system operate correctly. When
cleaning with pressure hoses and steam
cleaners, the sensors should be sprayed only
briefly. A distance of 10 cm between the sen-
sors and the steam / hose nozzle must be ob-
served.
●
Do not use a high pressure cleaner to re-
move ice or snow from windows
●
Washing the vehicle in low temperatures:
When washing the vehicle with a hose, do
not direct water into the lock cylinders or the
gaps around the doors or roof. Locks and
seals could freeze!
Factory-fitted adhesive sheets
The following indications should be taken in-
to acc
ount to avoid damaging adhesive
sheets:
●
Do not use high pressure cleaners.
●
Do not use scrapers to remove ice or snow
from the sheets.
●
Do not polish the adhesive sheets.
●
Do not use dirty cloths or sponges.
●
It is preferable to wash them with a soft
spong
e and gentle neutral soap.

a
y windows and exterior windows with a
standard window cleaner containing alcohol.
Dry the windows with a clean chamois leath-
er or a lint-free cloth. The chamois leathers
used on painted surfaces are not suitable for
cleaning windows because they are soiled
with wax deposits which could smear the
windows.
Use window cleaner or a silicone remover to
clean rubber, oil, grease and silicone depos-
