LOCKS
The locks are lubricated at the factory
using a high quality lock cylinder
grease. Use a de-icing agent only when
absolutely necessary, as this has a
degreasing effect and impairs lock
function. After using a de-icing agent,
have the locks regreased by a Jeep
Dealership.
WASHING
The paintwork of your vehicle is exposed
to environmental influences.
Bird droppings, dead insects, resin,
pollen and the like should be cleaned off
immediately, as they contain aggressive
constituents which can cause paint
damage.
Depending on the environment, clean
the vehicle frequently to remove salty
deposits (in coastal areas), soot (in
industrial areas) and mud/salts (in wet or
cold areas). These substances can be
highly corrosive.
Contact a Jeep Dealership for advice
on removing stubborn stains requiring
special products (such as tar or insect
removers).
Preferably, have paint touch-ups
performed by a Jeep Dealership.
If using a vehicle wash, comply with the
vehicle wash manufacturer's instructions.
The windscreen wiper and rear window
wiper must be switched off. Remove
external accessories such as roof
racks etc. Be sure to lock the doors
and, depending on version, move the
electronic key away and deactivate the
"Hands Free boot opening".
If you wash your vehicle by hand, make
sure that the insides of the wheel
housings are also thoroughly rinsed out.
Clean edges and folds on opened doors
and the bonnet as well as the areas they
cover.
Clean bright metal mouldings with
a cleaning solution approved for
aluminium to avoid damages.
Do not wash the vehicle in bright
sunshine or extremely cold conditions.
