Maintenance and care
TYRES
For your safety
If you have to mount a kerb, do so
slowly and, if possible, approach it
with the wheels at right-angles to
the kerb. Avoid steep and sharp
edged obstacles. Do not scrub the
tyre sidewalls when parking.
Regularly examine the tyre surface
for cuts, foreign bodies and uneven
wear. An uneven tread wear pattern
could indicate faulty wheel
alignment.
Refer to the chapter Capacities
and specifications for permissible
snow chains.

WASHING YOUR VEHICLE
The best procedure is brushless
washing in a good car wash
installation.
In installations operating
with high water pressure,
water might be forced into the
vehicle's interior or parts may get
damaged.
Unscrew and remove the
radio aerial before entering
an automatic car wash. Switch off
the heater blower to prevent
contamination of the fresh air
filter.
If a waxing cycle is selected, please
ensure that the wax is removed
from the front screen afterwards.
Cleaning the headlights
To avoid damaging the clear plastic
headlight lens do not use
aggressive abrasives or chemical
solvents. Do not wipe the lights
when they are dry or use sharp
objects to clean the lenses.
Cleaning the rear screen
To avoid damaging the heating
elements when cleaning the inside
of the rear screen use only a soft
cloth or a damp chamois leather.
Do not use solvent or sharp objects
to clean the glass.
