Vehicle care

Regular and proper care will help to main-

tain the value of your vehicle. The best way

to protect your vehicle from harmful envi-

ronmental influences is to wash it and use

protective treatments regularly.

Many cleaning products can be hazardous.

Some are poisonous, others are flammable.

Always follow the instructions on the partic-

ular container. Always open your vehicle's

doors or windows when cleaning the inside.

Never use fluids or solvents that are not de-

signed for cleaning your vehicle.

Always lock away cleaning products and

keep them out of reach of children.

While in operation, even while parked, your

vehicle is subjected to varying external in-

fluences which, if gone unchecked, can

attack the paintwork as well as the vehicle

underbody and cause lasting damage.

Such damage is caused not only by

extreme and varying climatic conditions,

but also by:

Air pollution

Gravel and stone chipping

Vehicle care

To avoid paint damage, you should imme-

diately remove:

Grease and oil

Bird droppings

Tree resins, etc.

Frequent washing reduces and/or elimi-

nates the aggressiveness and potency of

the above adverse influences.
