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
R
away 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 tempera‐
ture of the high-pressure cleaner must not
exceed 60°C.
Observe the information on the correct dis‐
R
tance in the equipment manufacturer's oper‐
ating instructions.
Do not direct the nozzle of the high-pressure
R
cleaner directly at sensitive parts, such as
tyres, gaps, electrical components, batteries,
light sources and ventilation slits.
Washing the vehicle by hand
observe the legal requirements, e.g. in a number
of countries, washing by hand is only permitted
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.
Carefully hose the vehicle off with water and
#
dry using a chamois.
