Risk of damage to the vehicle!
Stickers attached by the factory
Follow these directions to avoid damaging
the stickers:
● Do not use high pressure cleaners.
● To remove ice or snow from the stickers do
not use window scrapers or ice scrapers.
● Do not polish the stickers.
● Do not use dirty cloths or sponges.
● Preferably wash using a soft sponge and
soft neutral soap.
Sensors and camera lenses
● Use a small brush to remove snow and a
de-icer spray to remove ice.
● Clean the sensors with a solvent-free prod-
uct and a soft, dry cloth.
Care and maintenance
● Moisten the camera lens using a standard
alcohol-based glass cleaning agent and
clean the lens with a dry cloth.
CAUTION
When you clean the vehicle with a pressure
●
washer:
Stay a suitable distance from the sensors
–
on the front and rear bumpers.
Do not clean the camera lenses or sur-
–
rounding area with the pressure washer.
Never use warm or hot water to remove
●
snow and ice from the reverse camera lens,
as it could crack the lens.
Never use abrasive cleaning agents on the
●
lens.
Vehicle paint waxing and polishing
Care
To a great extent, good waxing protects the
vehicle surface from the harmful effects of
the environment.
The vehicle must be treated with a high qual-
ity, hard wax when water no longer forms
droplets on clean paintwork.
A new coat of high quality, hard wax can be
applied to the clean, painted surface only
when it has fully dried. Even if a wax solution
is used regularly in the car wash, it is advisa-
ble to protect the paint with a coat of wax at
least twice a year.
Polishing
Polishing is only necessary if the paint has
lost its shine, and the gloss cannot be
brought back by applying wax.
The vehicle must be waxed after polishing if
the polish used does not contain wax com-
pounds to seal the paint.
CAUTION
Never wax the windows.
●
Do not use polishes and hard wax on pain-
●
ted parts with a matt finish or on plastic
parts.
Do not polish your vehicle in a sandy or
●
dusty environment.
Cleaning of chromed parts
Clean the chrome first with a clean cloth and
then buff up with a soft, dry cloth. If this does
not clean the chrome properly, use a special
chrome cleaner.
CAUTION
Do not polish the chrome in a dusty environ-
ment or it could be scratched.
