MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
* Option/accessory.

•
Wash using a sponge, car washing detergent
and plenty of lukewarm water.
•
Clean the wiper blades with lukewarm soap
solution or car washing detergent.
•
Dry the vehicle using a clean, soft chamois or
a squeegee. Try not to let drops of water dry
in strong sunlight. This could cause water
drying stains that may need to be polished
out.
•
In areas with heavy industrial emissions,
more frequent washing of the vehicle's exte-
rior is recommended.
•
Tar spots from asphalt may remain even after
washing. Use a tar remover to remove these
spots after washing the vehicle.
WARNING
Always entrust engine washing to a workshop.
If the engine is hot, there is a risk of fire.
CAUTION
Dirty headlights do not work as well. Clean
them regularly, e.g. when refueling.
Do not use corrosive cleaners. Use water and
a non-abrasive sponge.
NOTE
Exterior lighting such as headlights and tail-
lights may develop temporary condensation
on the inside of the lens. This is normal. All
exterior lighting is designed to resist this.
Condensation is normally vented out of the
lamp housing once the light has been lit for
some period of time.
CAUTION
•
Make sure that the panoramic roof* and
sun shade are closed before washing the
vehicle.
•
Never use abrasive polishing agents on
the panoramic roof.
•
Never use wax on the rubber seals
around the panoramic roof.
CAUTION
Remember to remove dirt from the drain
holes in the doors and sills after washing the
vehicle.
