CLEANING THE
EXTERIOR
WARNING
If you use a car wash with a waxing
cycle, make sure that you remove the
wax from the windscreen.
CAUTION
Prior to using a car wash facility
l
check the suitability of it for your
vehicle.
Some car wash installations use
l
water at high pressure. This could
damage certain parts of your vehicle.
Remove the aerial before using an
l
automatic car wash.
Switch the heater blower off to
l
prevent contamination of the fresh
air filter.
We recommend that you wash your
vehicle with a sponge and lukewarm
water containing a car shampoo.
qCleaning the headlamps
CAUTION
Do not scrape the headlamp lenses or
l
use abrasives, alcoholic solvents or
chemical solvents to clean them.
Do not wipe the headlamps when
l
they are dry.

qCleaning the rear window
CAUTION
Do not scrape the inside of the rear
window or use abrasives or chemical
solvents to clean it.
Use a clean, lint free cloth or a damp
chamois leather to clean the inside of the
rear window.
qCleaning the chrome trim
CAUTION
Do not use abrasives or chemical
solvents. Use soapy water.
qBody paintwork preservation
CAUTION
Do not polish your vehicle in strong
l
sunshine.
Do not allow polish to touch plastic
l
surfaces. It could be difficult to
remove.
Do not apply polish to the
l
windscreen or rear window. This
could cause the wipers to become
noisy and they may not clear the
window properly.
We recommend that you wax the
paintwork once or twice a year.
