Information on using a high-pressure cleaner
& WARNING Risk of an accident when using
high-pressure cleaners with round-spray
nozzles
The water jet can cause externally invisible
damage.
Components damaged in this way may unex-
pectedly fail.
Do not use a high-pressure cleaner with
#
round-spray nozzles.
Have damaged tyres or chassis parts
#
replaced immediately.
To avoid damage to your vehicle, observe the fol-
lowing when using a high-pressure cleaner:
The key is at a minimum distance of 3 m away
R
from the vehicle. Otherwise the tailgate or a
door could open unintentionally.
Maintain a distance of at least 30 cm to the
R
vehicle.
Vehicles with decorative foil: Parts of your
R
vehicle are covered with a decorative foil.
Maintain a distance of at least 70 cm between
the foil-covered parts of the vehicle and the
nozzle of the high-pressure cleaner. Move the
high-pressure cleaner nozzle around whilst
cleaning. The water temperature of the high-
pressure cleaner must not exceed 60°C.
Observe the information on the correct dis-
R
tance in the equipment manufacturer's opera-
tor manual.
Do not direct the nozzle of the high-pressure
R
cleaner directly at sensitive parts, e.g. tyres,
gaps, electrical component parts, batteries,
illuminants and louvres.
Washing the vehicle by hand
Observe the relevant legal requirements (e.g. in
some countries, washing by hand is permitted
only in specially designated wash bays).
Use a mild cleaning agent (e.g. car shampoo).
#
Wash the vehicle with lukewarm water using a
#
soft car sponge. When doing so, do not
expose the vehicle to direct sunlight.
Maintenance and care 405
Carefully hose the vehicle off with water and
#
dry using a chamois.
