General Maintenance
Notice
Suitable care products are available from your ŠKODA Partner.
Washing the vehicle
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 85.
The longer insect residues, bird droppings, tree sap, road and industrial dust, tar,
soot particles, road salt and other aggressive deposits remain adhering to the
paintwork of your vehicle, the more detrimental their destructive effect can be.
High temperatures, such as those caused by intensive sun's rays, accentuate this
caustic effect.
Also the underside of the vehicle should thoroughly be washed regularly.
Automatic car wash systems
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 85.
Follow the information on the notice board of the car wash operator. Take the
usual precautionary measures before washing your vehicle in an automatic car
wash plant, e.g., close all windows and fold in the exterior mirrors to avoid dam-
age. If your vehicle has special attachments, such as spoilers, two-way radio aer-
ial, consult the operator of the car wash plant
by hand.
The paintwork of the vehicle is sufficiently resistant so that the vehicle can be
washed normally in automatic car wash plants without any problem. However,
the actual stress of the paintwork is strongly dependent on the design of the car
wash plant. ŠKODA recommends washing in car wash plants without brushes.
Washing by hand
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 85.
When washing by hand, first soften the dirt with water and rinse off as much as
possible.
