Advice
●
Compar
e the distance between the vehicle
wheels and the distance between the guide-
rails of the car wash to prevent damage to the
wheels and tyres!
●
Switch off the rain sensor before taking the
vehicle to an automatic car wash.
●
Compare the height and width of your vehi-
cle with the available height and width when
entering and driving through the car wash.
●
Fold in exterior mirrors Electrically retracta-
ble exterior mirrors must not be folded in or
out by hand. Always use the electrical power
control.
●
To avoid damaging the bonnet paintwork,
rest the windscreen wipers on the windscreen
after drying the wiper blades. Do not let them
fall!
●
Lock the rear lid to prevent it from opening
unexpectedly while inside the car wash.
Washing the vehicle with a high pres-
s
ur
e c
leaner
When cleaning the vehicle with a high-pres-
s
ur
e 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 ›››
.
K
eep a s
uit
able distance from soft materials,
such as rubber hoses or insulating material,
and from the parking distance warning sys-
tem sensors. The sensors of the parking dis-
tance warning system are situated on the rear
bumper ›››
.
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.
●
To ensure that the system functions well,
the sensors located on the bumper must be
kept clean and free from ice. When cleaning
with pressure hoses and steam cleaners, the
sensors should be sprayed only briefly. A dis-
tance of 10 cm between the sensors and the
steam / hose nozzle must be observed.
●
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!

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
